[Every week, CC and John bring you some of the weirdest, funniest, saddest things he hears on his college campus. Join the Overheard revolution!

Leave your own overheard convos in the comments.]

“So who’s the most attractive President we’ve ever had? Barack Obama, I think, right?”

“No. Teddy Roosevelt. Young Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt’s giant stone face on Mount Rushmore.”

“Yeah, the party was cool until Olga stepped in the seven-layer dip.”

“Maybe I should try Internet dating. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life moaning at magazines.”

“Oh my God, oh my God! Pull over!”

“What? What?”

“We found Mark Hamill’s guest appearance on The Muppet Show!”

“Christ. It’s 9 a.m. and I’m too drunk to feed the cows.”

“Your elbows make me red-hot. They’re your best feature.”

“Wow. I just found George Washington’s heir.”

“So that would make him King of America, right?”

“Yup. Felix Craig from Nitro, West Virginia. He drives a Winnebago and watches ‘Days of Our Lives’.”

“Oh, f***! The windows are fogged up! Tiny people are fogging up the windows of my car with their intercourse.” Read More »

Yes, it’s true. The Golden Globe awards are finally here!

Remember the Golden Globes last year? Yeah, me either. But maybe that’s because there weren’t any. There was a little thing going on called the writers’ strike, which kept me watching awful reality TV all year and prevented the Hollywood actors from attending the awards show.

Thank God that’s all cleared up.

Bring on the Red Carpet! Oh…and the actual show.

The awards start at 8pm EST (and will probably last until 1am with all those boring montages, speeches and fake awards), but the good stuff pre-show starts at 6. And that’s what we’ll be watching, hoping and praying for something scandalous: a nipple slip? A drunken stumble? An Amy Winehouse appearance?

Who are we kidding? Pretty sure the most exciting thing we’ll see is someone wearing white after Labor Day (Oh the horror!). But we’ll watch anyway, and report back on the good and the bad tomorrow morning.

[I like to think of myself as a pretty easy going gal, and try not to sweat the small stuff. But sometimes (ok, maybe slightly more often) the general cluelessness, carelessness and overall stupididty of some things and or/people really gets to me. I find that venting is the most efficient way to rid myself of the stress that idiots, wrong meal orders, lack of cell phone ettiquette and cheese flavored products (that don’t even contain any freaking cheese!) induce. So, in an attempt to avoid an ulcer or an unfortuante road rage incident, I vent to you, dear reader. Please feel free to join in and comment about anything–really, anything–that pissed. you. off. this week. Let it all hang out. I feel you.]

Saying “Hi” to Facebook friends. A slight differentiation from last week’s “awkward run-in.” It’s inevitable that you’re gonna see some of your Facebook buds out and about (I mean, why would you have accepted some weirdo’s friend request without some slight or vague form of acquaintance?) But therein lies the problem—the acquaintance can vary anywhere from “girl who was in your freshman stats class that you never talked to but still felt the need to add you” to “friend of a friend’s friend’s boyfriend who bought you a bottle of cabernet and therefore led to the obligatory friend acceptance.” What is the proper form of greeting for such a relationship? Will a high five suffice? A “bro” nod? A hug, hell, what about an air kiss?! I doubt Emily Post gave any specific etiquette on this 21^st century relationship, and I’m stuck awkwardly saying “Hey girl!” on the way out of the bathroom, severely questioning whether or not I actually know the person I just acknowledged….

There are two types of drinkers. The kind that can handle their liquor, and the kind that can’t. The kind of drunk who is the life of the party, and the kind the party wants to punch in the face. What kind of person are you? Ask yourself which of the following qualities apply to you:

Annoying drunk people…

1. Feel the need to scream, “Omigod! I’m soooo drunk!” It’s not an Olympic sport. You don’t get a medal if you blow a .20 at the end of the night.

2. Feel the need to deny their drunkenness. They fall into walls and slur “I’m totally fine!” and then reach for a bottle of Bud Lite, Jager, Windex, anything, to prove that they can handle even more.

Avoid being an annoying drunk by going with the flow and hanging out. No need to announce your current level of inxotication, or how sober you think you are.

Annoying drunk people…

3. Need to be the center of attention by screaming, dancing on tables, and giving other partygoers a general headache. “We’re going streaking!” is only funny when it’s Will Ferrell.

4. Can’t help but be the center of attention by getting over-emotional and crying. Extra annoying points when they lock themselves in bathrooms and demand consolation from their best friend for hours, thereby ruining the non-annoying best friend’s night. Read More »

The one trend we’re always happy to see resurface?

The gorgeous cameo.

This intricate form of carving dates all the way back to ancient Greece, but seems to make, well, a cameo every century for a period of time. In Britain during the 1700s and 1800s, for example, King George III and his granddaughter, Queen Victoria, loved cameos so much that they were responsible for them becoming mass-produced.

And you know what? The cameo is back in fashion once again!

Read on to discover the pieces we are totally going to have on rotation in our wardrobes this season.

Okay, okay. You found your fling. But classes are about to begin again, and you’ve got to pack up, move out, and put your scholar-face on. What are you going to do about the amazing hottie you picked up over the break?

Well, that all depends. What do you want? What does he want? How much do you really think you click? And by “click,” I do NOT mean another work that ends in “-ck.” Because if you’re going to make it work, you’re going to have to jive beyond the boundaries of physical attraction.

Take into consideration the fact that you’re going to have a college workload, assignments, deadlines, and the usual university-sponsored (or bar-sponsored) social engagements. If he’s in school, he will too. Sure, it was easy to escape when you were both visiting your parents, but what about when you’ve got your uber-fun roommate and a dorm full of friends every night of the week? If you still think he’s worth it, read on. Read More »

I was perusing the internet for my daily dose of news when I came across this headline: “Mantyhose: Not Your Mom’s Pantyhose.”

Naturally, I was intrigued (come on – who wouldn’t be?). And the article was everything I expected: weird, uncomfortable and awkward. Sort of like a pair of pantyhose.

Apparently, men felt a little left out of the pantyhose/Spanx craze, so they decided to make it their own. Enter Mantyhose: a thicker, more durable pair of hosiery that lifts, sucks and warms its wearer.

Which is a man.

Men appreciate the new designs because they are made specifically for their bodies and their needs. And, according to one mantyhose fan, “It’s nice because they are specifically made for men, so I felt less weird about it.”

Ok, tell yourself that, buddy. You are still wearing pantyhose, and the fact that they are made for a man doesn’t make me feel any less weird about it.

I understand men wanting to have some of the luxuries that women have (like boobs, or access to a woman’s locker room), but hose? They are a product of the devil. Why hose!?

I didn’t think there was anything worse than guyliner, but, alas, someone found it.

[Welcome to my Weekly Love List, a list on all things I love. Because if I love them - well then obviously you may (and should) love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes I am actually quoting them) “My Love is All I Have To Give.” So with that throwback, here are this week’s list-worthy things…]

I love books. Well, I should say I love books aren’t listed on a class syallabus. For every mood you’re in, there is a good book to go with it. And when you feel like procrastinating but have already read through every article on here, you can feel a bit more productive knowing you’re reading a book/a novel/even a cook book!

So here are 5 books that I thought were worth sharing with you. Share some of your faves at the bottom and spread that bookworm loooove.

1) Kaffir Boy. Mark Mathabane’s authobiography about growing up in South Africa during the Apartheid. This book is riveting, and, more importantly, eye opening. A total page turner. It’s sad, it’s motivational, it’s totally engrossing.

2) The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. A chic-lit book with a bit more substance to the story. Not to mention it’s going to be a movie with Julia Roberts as the star, so you know you’ll want to read it before then. Another easy read worth loving.

3) Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same: The Life and Times of Some Chickens. Best Coffee Table book EVER. It’s snarky, it’s funny, it’s a must have. There is nothing like having a long, stressful day and flipping through this little picture book of attitude. LOVE. Read More »

New Years resolutions were made (and probably broken ), but here is a new set of important resolutions that you might want to get started on. And, yes, they involve Facebook.

I don’t mean updating your status every 3 hours instead of every 30 minutes (addict), or finally getting even with your sister by posting up those New Year’s Eve pics of her passed out in her own puke (ew); I mean using Facebook for different purposes. So here we go.

Facebook resolution 1: De-Clutter your friend List.

Remember when you first joined facebook and you added everyone and anyone who added you just so that you could gloat to your friend that you had five more friends than her? Well, when the games stopped, what happened to all those random people that you added? Do you still talk to them? Have you ever talked to them? While having 200 friends verses 25 is cooler, if you don’t talk to half those people, it’s time to delete them. Do you really want that rando who friended you to know what you are doing at all times? Who knows what he’s doin’ with those pics you put up last week?!

Facebook resolution 2: Learn to use the privacy settings!

Because you really don’t want to have to deal with your conservative aunt who suddenly calls you asking “Since when where you an alcoholic and hookah smoker?” (Um, since 9th grade?) Even if your aunt/mom/dad doesn’t have a Facebook account, chances are they know someone’s daughter’s- friend’s- niece’s- cousin’s (you get the point) who has a huge mouth and grudge against you. So customize your photo albums so that only the people who you get drunk with (and a few others) see those specific pics. Read More »

We’ve all been guilty of some major makeup meltdown. I was personally guilty of lash to brow blue eye shadow in high school. Yikes, glad those days are behind me. Now that I’ve recovered from my beauty blunders, I can impart my wisdom so you don’t follow in my UNfabulous footsteps.

Sperm Brow

There are a slew of brow problems to address, but sperm brow is the most annoying (and the funniest to talk about). You’ve all seen it before – a tuft of hair near the bridge of the nose, and then super over-tweezed little tail for the rest of the brow forming a little hairy sperm. Not. Attractive. Not only is it not cute to have sperm swimming above your eyes, the shape is simply not flattering to your face.

So to remedy this and any other brow issues you may be having, brow expert Anastasia has made it fool proof with some really rad stencils. They’re 20 bucks at Sephora and so easy to use. It comes with several different shapes; find the one that matches your brows best, fill in with a pencil or powder and tweeze anything outside the lines!

Foundation Mask

This is a classic mistake but it seems that some people just can’t wise up. Haven’t you seen that girl with the flawless makeup that looks great until you get to her jaw line and realize what color her skin really is? It’s so scary and unnatural to see someone’s face literally end when their neck starts. You never want to see a line where your foundation ends. So, how do you avoid it? The most important thing is to make sure you have the right shade. Never wear your summer foundation in the winter and vice versa – your skin is not the same color! Read More »
