Get Over It! How to Resolve a Fight with a Girlfriend | Guest Blogger Rachel Kim
January 25, 2012 – 7:19 am
It happens. Sometimes we get into arguments with our girlfriends. Like we have little disagreements like which restaurant to go to for dinner or where is fair to meet ‘in the middle.’ Sometimes we have bigger disagreements with bigger consequences.
Guest blogger Rachel Hyun Kim shares her experience of getting into a fight with a friend and some of the lessons in forgiveness that she learned for mending an important friendship.
The last time I got into a fight with a friend, it was not a fun situation. Feelings were hurt, fingers were pointed, and words were said that could not exactly be taken back. Now, this fight could have easily gone towards the way a lost friendship, filled with awkward interactions with the former friend. But is that worth the years of fun and friendship we shared in the past? My friend and I swallowed our pride and moved past our fight, thus preserving our friendship and future together.

Have you ever thought about working with your girlfriends? At Girlfriendology, we know that working with our BFFs can be wonderful!
But we also know that working with friends can have pitfalls. Guest blogger Amanda DiSilvestro share her thoughts on the benefits (and the risks) of working with your friends.

Because a job at my company is a great opportunity and I want the best for my friend. While I tell myself this is the absolute reason I would make such a fuss over an open position, I cannot help but admit it: A little part of me just wants to work with my friends.
After all, wouldn’t work be so much more fun if Read More »

January 11, 2012 – 9:10 am
New Year, New Year’s Resolutions. We all think about them; some of us commit to them, and some of us even write them down. Some of us make a resolution to be a better friend to our girlfriends.
What does it mean to be a better friend? Guest blogger Danae Matthews shares her experience realizing what a real friend truly is.
I have a friend, for this story let’s call her Sarah, who quite frequently says to me that she doesn’t need any more friends. Until very recently I chalked up this particular one-liner to be some sort of defense mechanism. You don’t need any more friends?? Who could ever Read More »
