“As long as there’s pasta and Chinese food in the world, I’m okay” — Michael Chang
How to be Smarter: I just finished a memoir called This Is Not The Story You Think It Is: A Season of Unlikely Happiness and really enjoyed it. If you don’t have time to read the whole book, it is based off of the writer’s Modern Love column from last year.
How to be Prettier: I’ve noticed that the most fashionable of my friends say “wear” when talking about their bags; i.e. “I’m wearing my blue Coach bag today,” as opposed to, “I have my blue Coach bag today.” Just a tiny change that makes you seem more hip to the style scene.
How to be (less) Awkward: This is not based in anything other than my observations; it’s not scientific. But I do think the more nervous and overprotective you are about your boyfriend cheating, the more likely he is to do it.

About the cheating boyfriends: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_prophecy
Today’s quote is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard… I don’t know what I would do without pasta in my life! Hahahaha. I do agree with your Awkward. If a girl acts completely paranoid and possessive around her boyfriend all the time, it makes sense that it could push him away from her and cause her to cheat. Interesting theory.
Your “awkward” is likely true… but it falls into the “correlation does not prove causation” conundrum… maybe it’s not that the girl is making the guy cheat, but the girl should trust her nervous instincts because he is a cheater! “Gut feelings” should totally be taken seriously! Just a thought…
If you can’t trust your boyfriend, he is not worth being with…
Totally agree on the boyfriend note. It’s yet another example of The Secret: thoughts become things. If you dwell on it enough, it’s eventually going to happen.
