You know when you feel like you could scream in the middle of a crowded room and no one would even blink? That’s what the graduate job hunt feels like. As all the economists at university appli...
When Julia Roberts raised her furry underarm at that premiere back in the late nineties, the world gasped. A clever PR stunt? Or a wave to feminism? Either way, she knew what sort of stir she was goi...
It’s almost as if our generation is as screwed up as everyone says we are. If a bloke fails to attempt to get into our knickers on the first or second date, we worry that we’re not attrac...
Most people with half a brain remember to wrap it up during sex. But it doesn’t even cross these intelligent minds to put something on the end of it before going down on their partner, which to...
Not being able to concentrate for longer than an episode of Eastenders means that the cinema is most certainly not my first choice of date location. But it isn’t solely down to my short attenti...
It would be doing a disservice to my mum if I adhered to the clichés of that umbilical bond and called her my best friend. That she is, however, she is also otherwise known as “Superwoman”...
So I woke up on Sunday morning with no headache, panda eyes or need to be sick. Instead, I woke up with an overriding sense of guilt, embarrassment and stupidity. The mother of all hangovers. You’d r...
So I seem to fancy absolutely everybody, but thankfully don’t act upon my every thought. And I guess this makes me, what I call, a Silent Slut. Although I do find most men (and women) handsome ...
Between pancakes, BRIT nominations, London Fashion Week and Valentine’s Day, February is arguably that little bit better than bleak and frosty January. But for those of us raised in a reasonably reli...
Last year I spent Valentine’s Day with my ex-boyfriend in McDonald’s which, genuinely, has been my favourite love day to date. A Big Mac and a stroll through Exeter city centre and I’m all yours, app...
I think a lot of people feel as though their favourite sexual position says a lot about their personality. And I couldn’t agree more. I, for instance, would rather say in public that my favouri...
Bar that one time in primary school when I panicked about going it alone and made my dad endure an hours-worth of circle time as he dropped me off for school, I was a quietly confident child. Althoug...
Opening up facebook is like opening up your very own ex file. No matter where you look, even if you’ve unfriended your ex, they will somehow barge their way onto your computer screen. You’...
During my early teens I was nervous about practically everything, and in hindsight, have no idea why. But when it comes to the subject of kissing, I completely sympathise with my immature anxiety bec...
When I was younger, I, like most little girls, believed that all fairytales consisted of a man, a woman and a wedding (not to mention ugly step sisters and the ability to converse with animals). Now ...
If I were to tell anybody my life-long list of heroines, I would be laughed at for years to come. But the reason why I’m cool with that is because, much like food taste, it’s all relative...
Despite numerous prophecies about the world coming to an end, more people than ever are excited about ‘that feeling’ that something huge is going to happen this year. I feel the same. Not...
I never usually buy into the whole ‘New Year-New Me’ mantra, but this year feels different. 2011 brought with it some massive highs such as graduating from university but it also decided ...
Normally Monday brings with it a bit of doom and gloom. This week, Wednesday was woeful. I’ll start from the beginning. My mother and I decided to go shopping to return some shoes and to find a...
Is it possible that mixed- sex- friendships are restricted to being made during our school or university days? Post-education, it seems to me that it has become increasingly hard to meet someone with...
The first picture you might paint of the modern man is some skinny-jean wearing, guy-liner-loving, heel tapper of a specimen, when in fact, this new breed of man is all around us, disguised as your a...
Last week, I met with a friend on the infamous Brick Lane. I used to enjoy the eclectic nature of this part of the city, heading there after school for a halloumi burger and giant wedges, but now I...
So last month I didn’t stop banging on about boobs. This month, I’ll be nattering about balls. Girls, be prepared to encounter some rather grizzly smackers for the next few weeks as Movember kicks in...
As a lover of words it’s strange to think that I have never actually thought too much about the undeniable politics of texting and I can’t help but feel as though this is the aspect of my...
Upon arriving at university it never really occurred to me that virgins existed this side of sixth form. When playing “I have never” and “would you rather” I didn’t real...
If you don’t like spooning, there’s quite frankly something wrong with you. Personally, I haven’t come across anyone who doesn’t like to do it but with Ross’ “hug ‘n’ roll” antics in Friends, I’m sta...
I remember when I first heard someone whisper the words “She’s pregnant 216;. And I, like the rest of my peers thought ‘Holy shit. Her life is over’. But now, at the ripe ol...
My obsession with boobs began at a young age when I shoved a couple of mum’s granny smiths up my blouse and decided that life would be better with boobs. But despite my ever-increasing adorati...
It takes a lot to embarrass me but I’m actually cringing as I write this. I genuinely can’t even bring myself to say the word ‘fart’ out loud I hate it so much. I shoot dagger...
Don’t get me wrong. I, like most girls out there, might feel a slight pang of jealousy when my best friend tells me about her new job while I’m still unemployed three months after graduating. I...
