Take the plunge and don’t look back: Getting out of that bummer town you live in

from Primer magazine

“There” is always more alluring than “here.”

You would agree, no?

Everyone hates that feeling of being “stuck” or “in a rut.” For some people, the way to escape it is a simple cruise around the block for five minutes. For others, it is a lifelong struggle: the need to keep driving persists, even when we stop.

The latter has been the case in my life for some time now, and I’ve learned there is only one way to scratch histhe itch of getting out: Do it.

Here are a few words of advice (and of inspiration) to get you on the path you want to be: Away from “here.”

What Billy Crystal taught me about women

This post is submitted by everyone’s favorite party pal, Derek Tulowitzky.

“When Harry Met Sally” is easily one of my top five favorite I remember watching it for the first time in high school, but now that I’m in college, I feel I can relate so much more to Billy Crystal’s character.

He’s just out of college (in Chicago, of all places) and he’s just trying to make it in the post-college world.  It’s hard to think that sometime we’re all going to be at that same spot. Granted, some of us are already going to be in love or married at that spot (much like Billy Crystal was, sorry guys).

Luckily, I have Billy to guide me through the motions of how I should or should not react when the time comes in my life. I guess most people had their parents to help them with women. But forget that, I had a pretty cool dude named Billy Crystal giving tips and tricks the whole time.
