The most important interview of your relationship.The vast majority of the time, dating a great girl is a wonderful thing. As the relationship progresses, you reach exciting new milestones, like staying overnight for the first time and introducing her to your friends. But not every milestone is so enjoyable. In the back of your mind you know that one day she’ll pop the dreaded question: “Would you like to meet my parents?” Meeting your girlfriend’s parents may be a sign of a healthy relationship, but it’s also a nerve-racking event.

"Hard work" isn't physical–it's emotional.Work hard and you can achieve anything. That’s a bit of advice that’s been repeated to us so many times that it’s sort of lost its meaning. The problem is that we already feel like we are working hard, but for many of us, it seems like we aren’t getting anywhere. So, is that advice complete bunk? I would argue that it isn’t. Rather, I think what’s gone awry is our definition of hard work. The thing about trying to nail down a definition of hard work is that, as I mentioned, most of us already believe we are hard workers. We went to college. We got...…"Hard work" isn't physical–it's emotional.Work hard and you can achieve anything.

Ordering regular black coffee is really a crap shoot: it could be burned, weak, or sitting for a few hours. To get a fantastic cup of joe that's full of flavor and not too bold, try an Americano.Coffee, according to a chain of cafes built around a Moby Dick character, is a ritual: Some people function fine without it, while others can’t live without it. If they miss their morning cup, they go through their day feeling as though there’s something missing. I am, unfortunately, the latter. My friend Kyle gives me hell every time I order coffee. To perhaps everyone but me, coffee is...…Ordering regular black coffee is really a crap shoot: it could be burned, weak, or sitting for a few hours.

Planning your proposal can feel intimidating to say the least – we break it down. After careful deliberation, you’ve come to the conclusion that you like it, and have decided the only appropriate course of action is to put a ring on it.
