Love knows no boundaries

Friday, January 16, 2009 || Willie Mendelson

A few years ago at Rosh Hashanah dinner at my aunt and uncle’s house, I was talking to my cousin and her boyfriend-at-the-time, Tony. I learned that Tony and Lynn had been dating for a few months and that things had been going great so far. They both really cared about each other, and [...]

Age ain’t nothin’ but a number…right?

Friday, December 05, 2008 || Willie Mendelson

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t have a crush on a certain 17-year-old—almost 18!—runner-up from American Idol this past year. I’d also be lying if I denied making out with someone twice my age at a sketchy bar in Chicago.

“If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.”

Class matters: From classroom crush to real romance

Friday, October 03, 2008 || Willie Mendelson

“Mean Girls” is one of my favorite movies for a number of reasons. Not only is it based on my hometown—and quite accurately so—but it also features a variety of romantic issues and plights common to many young adults in the real world. Oh, and even I have to admit that Lindsay Lohan looked smokin’ [...]

The dibs on Ibby’s: a date to remember

Friday, September 05, 2008 || Willie Mendelson and Meredith Plumley

Nice restaurants are the ultimate go-to place for dates, but if you are stuck on campus without a car, they have always been a little hard to get to. Until now.
