In Defense of Sex « Thought Catalog
I lost my virginity to my high school sweetheart when I was seventeen. I can remember being very deer in headlights, on my back, saying, “I love you” over and over and over until he was inside. And when he came, I looked up at him in my vulnerable state and asked “Can I try on top now?” Because sex is fun. When I was little, I played doctor with any willing playmate.

You hear it all the time: "He was such a NICE Guy, and she's such a Heartless Bitch for dumping him." I get letters from self-professed Nice Guys, complaining that women must WANT to be treated like shit, because THEY, the "Nice Guy" have failed repeatedly in relationships.

The disagreement would continue until my father would yell with finality, "That is it! I'm not talking about this anymore!" The dispute would end right there. My mother never got the last word.How to become an early riser
I’ve found that waking early has been one of the best things I’ve done as I’ve changed my life recently, and I thought I’d share my tips. I just posted about my morning routine , and thought you might like to know how I get up at 4:30 a.m. For many years, I was a late riser. I loved to sleep in. Then things changed, because I had to wake up between 6-6:30 a.m. to fix my kids’ lunches and get them ready for school.In Part 1 of this series, I showed you how to get an accredited degree in one year for $4,000 . While testing out of undergrad via CLEP exams is certainly a viable option, many people have doubts about the “pedigree” of such a credential, and are concerned how it would be received by hiring managers. If you value the status and prestige of an Ivy League degree but don’t want to play the admissions game and pay retail prices, this post is for you.
