My fellow students, spring is upon us. Though not in the dog-humping-your-leg kind of upon us (well, not yet at least), the excessive amount of sniffles and throat-clearings ironically act as the cacophonous symphony for the natural introduction to the season of seduction.

Bare-Nekked-Faced: The Wonders of Facial Hair, or Lack Thereof

I just ended the second-longest relationship of my life. I shaved.
Honestly, my facial hair, in all its various manifestations, had been one with me since I graduated from high school about 3 years ago. Probably my most reliable and consistent companion, my chinstrap/beard/goatee/door-knocker/Wolverine-look had always been there for me to stroke. Many “girlfriends” had asked [...]
