10 Really Bad Ass War Movies
Not gonna lie – I’m not a fan of war movies. Granted, depending on my mood, I might be persuaded to sit down and watch a couple bloody hours of awesomeness. Most often, a boy toy convinces me to watch one and I do all I can to spend the entire time making-out with him rather than actually watching to movie.
Overheard: The Story on the Street
(Girl and guy, yelling in a noisy gym.)
Girl: Woman climbers usually use their legs more, since they don’t have the same arm strength.
Guy: Yeah. Oh, I get it. You guys always need to be tied up.
Girl: Excuse me?
Guy: Sorry, I’m not sure what you said.

The Morning After: Marking Her Territory
The second weekend of freshman year I was still riding on the elation of being at college and the freedom it offered. One of those freedoms being the freedom to drink as much as I wanted when I wanted. The girls on my hall and I were invited to a party at the baseball apartment off campus where I met a very cute, older, baseball player who seemed to take an interest in me.
The Perfect Sandal-Season Pedicure
I’ve missed my sandals. I missed them so much that I dragged them out of the back of my closet a month ago, only to gaze longingly at them every day, sigh, and pull on another pair of warm socks. After a long, hard fall, winter AND spring of boots, rain boots, and snow boots, I am dying to leave the house in nothing but a kick ass summer dress and a fantastic pair of gladiator sandals.
How To Wear a Full Skirt
This year, full skirts were seen on the runways of designers like Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Jason Wu. A full skirt will be a great investment this spring, since they can be worn throughout the summer and during fall. Feminine and sophisticated, this look is a great way to update your style to something more grown-up.
The Un-Sexiest Things Guys Can Do
Since the 5th grade, when I began my dating career and had my first closed-mouth kiss, I have been developing some pretty serious opinions about guys and the things they should and shouldn’t do. From fashion choices to their decisions about personal hygiene, it seems that some members of the male sex are still confused and clueless when it comes to putting themselves together.
Flip-Flops: Fashion’s Anti-Christ
Peppered throughout magazines and blog sites are optimistic articles about delicious summer activities and fashion trends to anticipate and enjoy. However, there is one thing about summer that is so heinous and disgusting that I feel I must warn the masses before it destroys them: flip-flops, fashion’s Anti-Christ.

Saturday Read: Tweak by Nic Sheff
A couple months ago, I wrote about the book “Beautiful Boy” by David Sheff, which chronicles the author’s experiences as a father of a drug addict. Because his son, Nic, was known for his writing (even publishing a piece in Newsweek while still in high school!), his father’s publishers were interested in him writing about his own journey. In “Tweak,” Nic chronicles his experience from his point of view.
Living at Home For the Summer? Rock on!
The only thing harder than saying goodbye to your roommate for the summer is packing up your dorm… and mopping all of the dried beer of the floor. And scrubbing your desk where pizza sauce has been encrusted for months. And figuring out how to pack it all into your two-door. Yeah, moving out sucks. But moving IN with your parents again… well, let’s face it. It rocks.

The Pee Pee Poll: Do You Pee In The Pool?
While browsing around on the internet (hey, it’s the the only way to spend the day when you’ve still got the spins from the night before), I stumbled across this little tidbit from CNN.com: apparently peeing in the pool grosses people out AND can be detrimental to your health. Oh, and 17% of people polled still do it.
