College, although deliciously fun and entertaining, is full of things that are bad for us. The four-day weekend bender? Bad for us. The four Red Bulls we chugged to finish that paper at 5am? Bad for us. But, surprisingly, sometimes what we think is horrible for our health can have some benefits.

Makeup 101: Waterproof Your Face
Makeup is supposed to help your look out and enhance beauty, but what happens when you mix makeup with humidity, sweat, and waves? Raccoon eyes, that’s what. Raccoon eyes aren’t even a good look for raccoons, so they definitely won’t add to your summer style.

Burger King BJ Ad Makes Food Even Less Appealing
Seriously, if you want me to enjoy your new cleverly named “Seven Incher,” likening it to one of my least favorite activities isn’t going to help. When I see this I do not want to dig into all that beefy glory – all I can think about is lock jaw and “special sauce” in my eye.
