8 Under $20: Old Navy
For many of you, school has already begun or will shortly, which means new additions to the wardrobe are necessary. Woohoo! But you don’t have to spend a lot to update that 2008 fall wardrobe. Old Navy is a great place to get cute basics at super reasonable prices.
WTF Fashion Choices: Seriously, WTF?
While waiting at JFK for my ride not too long ago, I was passing the time by sipping on some much needed coffee and people watching. Airports, with their mix of cultures and characters, are the best places to people watch. All was going well until…out of nowhere…I saw it: a fanny pack.

Life After College: Back-To-School But Not For Me
Lately it seems like Facebook is on a mission (aided by the company that sells prozac) to make me feel suicidal every time I sign on. For weeks all the status updates and albums were “lovin’ summer” and “will it ever stop raining this summer?” I could easily relate to those as I was also experiencing summer and the torrential rain showers of ’09.
Tuffy Luv Gets Tuff
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’ve been seeing a guy for about eight months. At times things are amazing and at others, they’re terrible. On top of this (probably at the center of it) is I only get to see him once a week, if that. Granted we live in the same city with a bus system that works quite well. However, he’s never had me over, I haven’t met his family, and he only comes to my place.
Texting While Driving – You Will Die
It started with not being able to talk on the phone while driving. I was peeved, mostly because I was quite good at shooting the sh*t with my friends whilst parallel parking, but then I watched my mom back into my car while holding that Blackberry to her ear and I realized that law was a good thing. Now, lawmakers are taking things to another level, with many states implementing laws to ban texting while driving.
We’ve All Been There: Ready for Back-To-School
You’ve spent the last 3 nights enjoying the freedom that Welcome Week allows, but as you wake up with the garbage can next to your bed – again – you realize it might be time to buckle down. Classes are looming ever closer and not only can your body not handle another 12-hour hangover, you’ve got a lot of stuff to prepare before those 18 credits take over your life.

How To Be Alone Without Being Lonely
I have never been good at being alone. For me, loneliness = boredom = depression. I like to be surrounded by people, whether they’re friends, family, or my boyfriend. But right now, my boyfriend lives on the other side of the country, my friends are all home for the summer, and my family is hours away.

Back To School: Drink Yourself Some New Friends
Drinking games have long been a superb way of breaking the ice with new people (seriously, nothing sets a casual, friendly atmosphere like chugging shots at 3pm), but how do you move beyond the old favorites?
These Guys Don’t Deserve Your Digits
I’m a girl who knows what I deserve. I don’t settle. I’m a big believer in not purchasing knockoffs.
Reason one: I can hold out for the real deal.
Reason two: I don’t want to give the fake too much credit.
This Year, Everyone is an Ivy Leaguer
So some of you may be a little bitter this school year. Instead of heading off to your dream school, you are stuck attending your fall-back as your friends suddenly turn all intellectual and boast about the awesome classes at Harvard, Princeton and NYU.
