Giulia Rozzi was raised in Boston by two adorable and obnoxious Italian immigrants and grew up (sorta) to become an adorable and obnoxious young lady. Her blunt candidness mixed with her charming vulnerability make her a likeable comedian both on and off stage. Through hilarious personal stories and honest observations she exposes her insecurities and anger while still radiating a refreshing love of life. As a transplanted NYC writer, Giulia has contributed to Playgirl, Glamour, LifetimeTV.com, Gawker, 236.com, Takepart.com, The Huffington Post, Dear Douchebag, and the Mortified book, Real Words. Real People. Real Pathetic., based on the traveling comedy show of the same name she sometimes produces. She's also been seen on MTV, VH1, CNN, Jimmy Kimmel, and co-hosts the popular NYC based storytelling series "Stripped Stories." More at GiuliaRozzi.com.

Working Stiffs: Lessons from a Full-Time Freelancer 12.31.69
Trust your gut.  It's a cliched rule in life, but when it comes to careers and employment, we sometimes trust the promise of an opportunity or paycheck rather than our instinctual reaction that a job is going to be bad news.   More
Working Stiffs: Putting the Free in Freelance 12.31.69
As an up-and-coming comic and actor, sometimes I have to supplement my gigs by leaving the cozy comfort of my home office to do in-house freelance writing at a large company. Worse yet, when I can't find freelance writing work, sometimes I have to temp.   More
High School Reunions: So Good, Yet So Weird. 12.31.69
From the ages of 11 to 17, I used almost every birthday wish, penny tossed in a fountain, and prayer to ask, hope, and beg to be popular. I had friends. I was well liked. I was living comfortably in the middle crowd. But I wanted more.   More
Working Stiffs: Office Party Survival Guide 12.31.69
By now, you've probably already attended most of your holiday gatherings. You've eaten so many sugar cookies and downed so much eggnog that the once-fabulous frock you bought for New Year's Eve is already two sizes too tight. You've seen the Facebook pics proving that you did, indeed, drunkenly straddle the inflatable Santa while sexy dancing to Mariah Carey’s Christmas hits.   More
Dear Douchebag: A Letter to Halloween 12.31.69
Dear Halloween, I'm excited to hang this week. It's always fun (and nauseating) to use you as an excuse to binge on candy corn and purchase yet another ridiculous wig. (This year, I've got my eye on a style inspired by Kate from John and Kate Plus Eight. What do you think?)   More

Facebook: Do's and Don'ts of Online Relationships 12.31.69
Facebook is the frat party you dreaded going to in college. You know it's going to be ugly. You know it’s going to be creepy. You know you're going to stay way too long or do things you'll probably regret. But you have to be there because, well, everyone else is there and you don't want to be left out of the fun.   More
Working Stiffs: The Sunny Side of Being Jobless 12.31.69
Stability is soooo overrated. Who really enjoys having a steady, regular paycheck, anyway? I mean savings accounts? Ha! Lame-o! (Insert crying on the floor here.)   More
Shoestring Travel: Couch Surfing Smarts 12.31.69
When I hear the phrase "couch surfing," I immediately imagine a person wearing Hawaiian print shorts, riding a futon through the ocean to the song "Wipe Out" blasting in the background. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you're a terrible swimmer like me) couch surfing is not that much of a tropical adventure.   More
Bargain Binging: Saving Money, Not Losing Control 12.31.69
I love bargain hunting. You could even say I've been known to binge on bargains. Before anyone pats me on the back for my fabulous and frugal finds, however, being a bargain binger is not something to be proud of, and here's why: spending small amounts of money on a lot of bargain items is no different than spending large amounts of money on a few expensive items.   More
