Cool, older roommates? Check. Massive backyard? Check. Vibrant social life? No comment. According to The Hill, about a third of millenials are living at home. As seasoned twenty-somethings, we've come up with a comprehensive list of pros and cons of moving back home. Home: where there's no rent, and no privacy.

After a week off of work, we're looking for great excuses to not go back on Monday. How many times can you be sick during the school year without having people say they're worried about you? How many fake sneezes can you feign before you get a hernia? If you're guilty of overusing illness as an excuse, we have some nifty alternatives to share with you. We guarantee that your boss will tell you to stay home...and not bother coming back.

Guys who go to the gym are sexy. Guys who go to the gym just to talk to girls are not. During her newfound quest to become a "fit" woman, Genesse has encountered several obstacles at the gym. Among these are creepy guys, equipment hoarders, and bodybuilders--oh my! In spite of these drawbacks, going to the gym can be a nurturing experience for both physical and spiritual "gainz."

Someone pokes you on Facebook...what do you do?! Before there was Instagram and Snapchat and Vine (RIP), there was Myspace and a much more primitive version of Facebook.

Daylight Saving (or is it savings?) reminds us that spring is just around the corner. Since we failed at keeping our New Years Resolutions, we're determined to reset our goals for the year now that we have one more hour of sun. Stay tuned for Daylight Savings Ends resolutions once we completely fail at these!

Have you ever been "ghosted" by a lover? Or "zombied" by someone you thought you had ended things with? Worse yet: have you ever been zombied by someone you dated 2 YEARS PRIOR after they BROUGHT ANOTHER GIRL to your date? No? Just us, then? Cool. Turns out that supernatural phenomena can be used to describe several of the sketchy situations that dating can conjure. We made a list of terms that describe the different ways you can be jilted so hard it almost feels unreal. Or should we say...supernatural?

It's the holiday season again. So what's the protocol for intraoffice gifting? More than 2,000 Christmases have passed and we still haven't figured out how to avoid the awkwardness that inevitably follows workplace holiday parties. Two of our Twentyisms hosts discuss their personal experiences and give not so-sound advice to listeners, all while navigating the mean streets of LA.
