An exert from your yearbook: Hey pal, so glad the school year is finally over. I could never have survived Spanish class without you! (Muy es stupido). The big dance was totally unforgettable.

Learning to Accept the Unknown
Someone recently asked me, “What’s the crisis?” in regards to this popular “quarterlife crisis” topic over here at QLC.

Guy’s Perspective: Having Kids
WOAH. I know what you’re thinking. Ben has kids? How many dozen? Which ones will grow up to play professional basketball in Poland? Which NFL franchise-owning models who practice neurosurgery has he been impregnating? SLOW YOUR ROLL, LADIES (and dudes who are rolling). I have no children. But I’d like to discuss them regardless. Why? … Continue reading
QLC Video: Judgement & Jealousy
Ladies, have you ever checked out another girl? Of course you have. And we don’t necessarily mean in a sexual way.

Being from the east coast, I was able to pull off … Continue reading
Contest: Your Craziest Internship Story
It seems like everyone has THE internship story to top them all… the time your college roommate crashed the CEO’s car, the summer your best friend hooked up with another intern in the supply closet, or that weirdo intern who got caught stealing toilet paper from the employee bathroom. And it doesn’t matter how old … Continue reading
The Old School Playlist
“No Diggity…No Doubt, UGH” – Blackstreet So, I’ll be straight with you, this playlist is awesome. If you disagree, you clearly did not spend your youth as I did downloading Ja Rule music videos on KaZaa and ripping out every single poster from TigerBeat. I remember discovering TLC’s “Crazy, Sexy, Cool” album in my sister’s … Continue reading
7 Things That Are No Longer Okay Now That I’ve Graduated College
1. Theme parties: Theme parties were my JAM in college. Want to have a beach-themed party? I was the girl that drove to get sand. Interested in an “after-sex” party? Well I’ll be the first one to take off my pants. But I’ve realized that after college, no one really gets into theme parties, so … Continue reading
How Disney Movies Prepared Me To Be a Business-Leader
I can’t help but wonder why we seek profound analytical theory on how to achieve success when we learned it as children, from watching The Lion King. I spent the past weekend immersed in my younger sister’s college graduation festivities and listened intently as our promising young talent discussed their next steps into the “real … Continue reading
