1:35 pm, May 22nd | by Colette McIntyre
Most prime time shows aired their finales last week and we’re already missing Jess, Bob, and the gang. Now that the summer TV season is bleakly stretching out before you, a desert dotted with the skeletons of late-night informercial products and the shadows of descending Food Network personalities, we wish to offer an oasis: a reflection on what we can look forward to when prime time returns in the fall. Which network has the ladies on lock?

What To Expect When You’re Expecting: Dads Rule, Moms Drool
10:15 am, May 22nd | by Sarah Devlin and Carly McElroy
On this week’s episode of “And Then They Make Out,” Carly McElroy and Sarah Devlin switch up the format for a (not so) mini-sode called “I’m Going To Stop You Right There.” Carly selflessly watched this week’s film, What To Expect When You’re Expecting, while Sarah got to remain blissfully ignorant up until the moment she and Carly had to start talking about push presents.

9:00 am, May 22nd | by Sarah Devlin
Since this week means a whole host of new grads will be making the transition from full time student-hood to the workforce, we thought we’d reflect on the advice we’d give ourselves as new grads (you know, if time travel were invented) (and if by going back in time we could guarantee we wouldn’t upset the space-time continuum).

Read of the Day: “All Hail the Queen?”
6:02 pm, May 21st | by Colette McIntyre

Proper Handshake Etiquette — In GIFs
1:30 pm, May 21st | by Lisette Mejia, SavvySugar
When it comes to making an impression during a job interview, it’s the little things that count. Little things like a good handshake. You don’t want it to be too limp (translation: “I’m weak”) or too strong (“I’m trying too hard”). And you certainly don’t want it to be an awkward encounter. For more “don’ts” in the handshake department, we’re letting these awesome, funny, and cringe-worthy GIFs teach the lesson.
