I’m sick of people thinking I’m ridiculous for not drinking coffee or really anything with caffeine.
I hate answering the question “but how do you feel awake in the morning?” and I’m sick of the nonsense excuse “I can’t do anything before my coffee.”
I’m tired in the morning, but within 10 minutes I’m fine. If I’m not, I...
A Note To Craigslist, Part 2
Dear Craigslist,
Still having an enjoyable time sorting out the apartments that are actually in Brooklyn Heights when I search for Bklyn Heights, but I’m getting quicker. That’s good. I just have one more teeny suggestion: I don’t care how people live in their day to day lives. If they want to be messy and have a stack of dishes taller than a golden retriever, that’s their...

Auto-reblog — great article, great journalist.
Hey- a first big byline is worthy of celebration. Journos help Journos.
As for my “first” byline - I have three reporting credits in the brand new issue of Us Weekly. Unfortunately, in 2 of the 3, my first name is Caroline instead of Catherine. FML.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - Just days after tying the knot after years of abstinence, Kevin Jonas of the pop sensation the Jonas Brothers stunned his teenaged fans by announcing that “to be honest about it, sex was not worth the wait.”
“After we did it, I was kind of like, that’s it?” Mr. Jonas told reporters at a New York...
Filling in a new year’s organizer is a really fulfilling experience.
Mine is still largely empty, except for set events in the month of January, and post-its on weekends that I’d ideally like to get out of New York (Bonnaroo and Coachella so far). I post-it “to do list” items in my date book, sort of so that I can remove them and have them stare at me at my desk, and I...
When Titanic came out, what, 12? 13? years ago, I was determined to hate it, and I did. In the time since then, I essentially had a film focus to my major, and saw James Cameron works that impressed me, but I couldn’t shake the fact that to me, as a budding film critic, that this man created one of the most expensive, over-hyped and terrible movies of my generation. (Truth be told, I hated...
"Let's grab a drink": The Recovering Frat Boy
caryrandolph:
During my five-year college reunion in May, I snuck into my old fraternity house, which at the time was being used as some sort of community service dorm. As I wandered about taking pictures, a student approached and asked politely, “Excuse me, who are you?” Instinctively, I turned around and yelled menacingly, “Who the fuck are YOU?” The girl scurried off, but the incident made me...
Dear Craigslist,
When I search “Brooklyn Heights” please do not give me apartments in “Prospect Heights,” or “Stuyvesant Heights” or “North Park Slope” because that is NOT Park Slope. I will entertain your “Cobble Hill,” “Boerum Hill,” “DUMBO,” and “Park Slope” suggestions, because they’re cool...
Job Searching IS Like 2009 Dating... or something...
the405club:
Some people told me that interviewing for jobs is like going on a string of dates. Considering I went to a college that Rolling Stone magazine publicly panned for having an abysmal dating culture, I was uncomfortable making such a comparison.
After sending a few emails that I deemed as life critically urgent and not hearing a response right away, it clicked. Job searching IS like...
What Your Favorite Magazine Says About You |... →
Another stereotyping article, this time, on magazines. It’s too brief a list, my favorites aren’t mentioned, nor is the magazine I’m currently spending time with.
But, from this list:
Glamour Women who, if they were men, would claim to read Playboy for the articles.
The New Yorker People who laugh at things that aren’t funny.
Lucky Heiresses who sometimes shop at...
Stereotyping People by Their Favorite Indie Bands... →
Last week I posted a link to a blog that stereotyped people based on their favorite author. Here is another form of stereotyping that I am totally getting down with: Stereotyping people based on their favorite indie band. Why? Because other bands really aren’t worth stereotyping.
Some stand-outs, including my favorites:
Vampire Weekend Bros who try to make out with girls at concerts by...

When I was 20, I figured my smuggling booze into bars and lounges would stop on my 21st birthday. Oh, how wrong and foolish I was.

Duke Engaged: The Link's First Classroom Proposal... →
Thoughts when watching this video:
-I wish my final projects entailed presentations that easy.
-I would have been one of the girls crying in the classroom.
-My dream is to be proposed to at Duke (by someone who didn’t go there slash I didn’t know there)
Why You Should Exercise
Following this blog (coupled with my new gluten free lifestyle, minus my cheat of beer from time to time) is enough to make me want to go exercise and run and get back into that.
Why? I’ve felt draggy, I’ve felt cranky, I’ve haven’t slept well and more importantly, I know it’s good for me. And I want to feel accomplished. I’ll let the anxiety level slide - that...
