Run, Abby, Run!
Staying on any kind of workout schedule (or just schedule, for that matter) is close to impossible in college. With each day comes different classes, meetings, part time jobs, social engagements and perhaps most importantly, happy hours.

The Top 10 Celebrities Who Should NOT Be Famous
As far as I can tell, there are three main types of celebrities that the world fawns over. Type 1:“The Talented Celebrity.” Think models who have shown up on the cover of Italian Vogue, actors like Brad Pitt who have starred in everything from comedy to drama, and music moguls who come out with one hit after another (think Madonna)…

Is Being Less Picky Just Lowering My Standards?
It is no secret that my mom wants grand kids. And not “Oops, the condom broke” grand kids, she wants the real deal. So the fact that I’ve been sans serious boyfriend for a very long time now is getting her a bit anxious. (Though, I have to say, even if I was on the verge of marriage, those things aren’t coming out of my thing any time soon.)
Day-To-Night Styler: Give ‘em the Cold Shoulder
One shoulder cuts were all over the runways for spring and summer and while you can find some super sexy night time looks with this style, you can also find some more casual styles that can totally go from day to night with a couple of quick switcheroos.
Time To Reconsider Sex On The Beach
Summer time is here and romance is in the air. Beachy hair, tan skin, and cute boys are the perfect combo getting everyone in the mood for some love and lust. So what better way to take advantage of the good weather, spice up the sex life, and get down and dirty (literally) than to take it outside?

Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Christian Louboutin Petal Sandal
I get weak in the knees every time I see a celebrity sporting a pair of red soled shoes. And it’s not the infamous red bottoms that do it for me, it’s the fact that all Louboutins are beautiful, sexy, and so sophisticated that I literally dream about them. (And in my dreams, they are super comfy, too!)
Life After College: Lonely in Real Life
While living with my grandparents has its perks (unlimited prune juice), it also has its downside (the only available beverage is prune juice). And even though I’m in the biggest city in the world, I’ve never felt more alone.
Tuffy Luv Sez, You Ain’t No Cow
Dear Tuffy Luv, I am way past confused right now, and advice would be greatly appreciated. So here’s the situation: I met this guy last year, he was in my class. We talked, I ended up really liking him. He kept trying to hookup with me, but I kept telling myself, I’m not that kind of girl, I want a relationship…
No Diploma For You, Son
I remember my high school graduation like it was yesterday. It was an unseasonably freezing June afternoon. My high school choir sang a very Broadway version of a Bon Jovi song and I sat, shivering under my gown, playing brick breaker on my cell phone as the 412 students in my graduating class got called to walk the stage.
We’ve All Been There: The Drunken Photo Shoot
Your hair is done, your makeup is on and you’re outfit is perfect. All you have to do is pack that wristlet and you’re ready to head out with your friends. Money? Check. ID? Check. Camera? Check. Before you leave, you some drinks and have a mini dance party with the girls. Two rum and Diets and a few Britney songs later, it’s time to head out. But not without a “SELFIE!!”

Last Minute Dad’s Day Gift Ideas (From the Experts!)
As we all know buying a gift for Dad is nearly impossible as he either seems to have everything or you just have no idea what he would want. This causes most of us to procrastinate on buying him a gift, and then having to scramble at the 11th hour and settle for a gift that is less then mediocre.

Gradvice: Making Friends After College
When you are in college it’s almost as if you have to try not to make friends. You are constantly surrounded by people and put into situations (group projects, student groups, beer pong tournaments) where forming new friendships is as easy as finding Milwaukee’s Best at a frat party; get their name, work with them a bit, then go home and Facebook them later.
