Hungover and fragile, you decide the First of January is The Best Moment Evah to make those drastic-life-changing resolutions you've been putting off. If you're a truly obstinate person, by the end of the year you'll find you kept ONE. If you're a relatively reasonable person you'll realize that the worst time to make life-altering decisions is whilst drinking the mandatory-walk-of-sham... and forget the whole deal.

After four years slaving over deadlines for papers and permanent damage to the liver, we job-hunt manically, handing out resumes and wearing down the One Good Suit in job interviews. Euphoria at not having to move back with your parents eclipses the horrid paycheck, long hours and vague job descriptions that include pleasant tasks such as fetching copies and proof reading memos. Before you march into your boss's office to give him a piece of your mind, take five minutes to read this.

After six long months of glacial winds (straight from Siberia, thank you very much), snow and a constant -10 degrees (14 Farenheit), summer has finally arrived in Beijing and we’re all looking forward to stifling heat, tropical showers and mosquito bites. More than that, we were all too eager to trade in our boots, scarves and hats for floaty dresses, miniskirts and sandals. So eager in fact, we forgot all about The Attack Of The Fringey Lacey Shiny Dresses and now, faced with the Chinese fas...

We delight ourselves with many tales of horror disguised as romantic comedies or successful tv shows until the realization hits: "hey... wait a minute... this seems familiar". Dating is good fun and in spite of the eventual psycho, the laughs we get from sharing the stories with our friends over cocktails are worth it. I know most people make the same statement about whichever city they live in, but dating in Beijing truly is a minefield.

Some girls never seem to get spinach stuck in their teeth, speak at work presentations with a gigantic coffee stain on their shirts or put the empty juice carton back in the fridge. We are made to believe we have to be perfect at everything and it's exhausting. I don't want to wake up and find out I became one of the following cliches:

Fits of tears, an almost childish attachment to his old t-shirt, fast descent to alcoholism and other oh-so-classy reactions: that’s what comes to mind when someone mentions the word “breakup”, forgetting we have occasionally caused this sort of pain to someone, instead of enduring it. But like riding a bike, we never truly forget how to do and it is my belief (and hope) that by now we know anything involving a phone call, text message, answering machine, email, missing person report is not t...

He moved out taking his toothbrush, his clothes (minus the faded navy blue shirt, unbeknownst to him) and your will to live. After the mandatory self-pity, drunken rants and promises of never falling in love again, you’re a functional human being once more, no longer dreaming of running into Him accompanied by a Johnny Depp look alike. Life is good, the birds are singing and you’re determined to show you’re so over him, you can be friends.

I'm an assertive, independent woman who does not need emotional blankets, jogs before sunrise, divides atoms as a hobby and unwinds with a glass of Chivas Regal while reading Emmanuel Kant. But in the cover of darkness, a dark secret lies...
