March 21, 2019 at 11:43AM by CWC Out of all the Harry Potter movies, I’ve rewatched The Prisoner of Azkaban the most. Not because of the pure majesty of Hagrid’s hippogriff, Buckbeak. Not because Hermione punching Malfoy is arguably one of the most iconic scene in all eight films and all seven books. I’m just love the time-turner, a… Continue Reading →

March 20, 2019 at 06:43AM by CWC “We were both too alpha for this to ever really work, anyway,” my ex tells me mid-breakup. Given that our relationship was fraught with roughly, oh, 12,800 issues, my first reaction to this alpha/beta pain point was of the ??? variety. But after we parted ways, I wondered… Continue Reading →

March 12, 2019 at 08:00AM by CWC In the heat of the moment, tossing out an ultimatum to your boss, your partner, or even a restaurant manager after a decidedly awful experience might seem like the best if not only option. But, #realtalk: Are these my-way-or-the-highway brokerages ever really a good idea? Because after you… Continue Reading →

February 25, 2019 at 03:00AM by CWC Ariana Grande’s new, empowering thank u, next album features a song called “NASA,” and the gist is about needing space. Well, couldn’t agree more, Ari. The lyrics “I’ll just use my covers to stay warm tonight/ Think I’m better off here all alone tonight” encapsulate what my ideal sleep… Continue Reading →

February 18, 2019 at 05:00AM by CWC We’ve all been there at one point or another—totally happy with a significant other when even just the hint of uncertainty clouds up all the sunniness that previously existed in the relationship. In fact, it’s too often the case that a new relationship is going along bump-free for… Continue Reading →

February 14, 2019 at 06:47AM by CWC In today’s flaky dating climate, there’s something particularly awe-inspiring about couples who have committed to starting businesses together. While so many of us are just hoping our partner texts us back in a reasonable amount of time, these duos are nurturing a shared vision, creating something new for… Continue Reading →

February 13, 2019 at 07:00AM by CWC I’ve been single for exactly one year, four months, and 26 days (who’s counting?). My last breakup was a traumatic one for a myriad of complicated reasons, which left me swearing off relationships for good (okay fine—at least for now). So instead, I’ve decided to replace the men in… Continue Reading →

February 08, 2019 at 10:20AM by CWC We’ve all read the headlines about how social media and mental health typically don’t go hand in hand. So many people swear by just cutting it out of their lives altogether for better peace of mind. And that’s valid. But as someone who has always prided herself on being… Continue Reading →

February 06, 2019 at 08:46AM by CWC When my recent plans got canceled on account of a polar vortex, I hesitated when my friend texted to reschedule for the following Friday. “I might be free on the 8th, but I’ll let you know,” I answered. I knew that the space on my Google Cal was wide… Continue Reading →

January 31, 2019 at 09:11AM by CWC In the wake of my most recent breakup, I slogged through the typical motions (you know—tears, chocolate, more tears), but there was also a decidedly happy narrative flanking my sadness: My relationship with my dad, which was never bad, per se, but we’ve never actually been close. Until… Continue Reading →
