    We’re Live-blogging The Emmy’s

    Since we’ve got nothing else to do on a Sunday night (besides that 175 pages of reading for history), we thought we’d watch the Red Carpet show with you. Starting at 6pm EST we’ll be live-blogging it all with Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic on the E! Emmy preshow.

    The Morning After: Who’s Spooning Me?

    My sorority family is insane and I love them. But I have never made it home from a family dinner alive… or with my dignity. At our last family dinner, they found me exchanging clothes with a frat guy and then laughing and pointing as another family member rolled down an extremely steep hill.

    Intro to Cooking: Yummy and Customized Oatmeal

    Remember those nasty instant-oatmeal packages you would toss in the microwave on those mornings when you were all hungover but starving? Yeah, forget them. This isn’t that. This is waaaaay, way better.

    From StyleBakery: Shoes To Wear To Class

    Let’s face it: Those UGGs aren’t earning you any style points, but you wear them anyway because they are comfy and they match everything. There are other footwear choices out there that are wearable, warm, and WAY cuter.

  • College Friends vs. High School Bonds

    College Friends vs. High School Bonds

    I remember going to college expecting to make some of the best friends of my life. It had always seemed that way — you have nice high school friends, but gradually they fade out of the picture and your college friends dominate your life. Wasn’t that the way it was supposed to be?

    From StyleHive: Get Thee Some Golden Sparkle Sauce

    I know, the name sounds delicious… but you can’t eat this sauce! Golden Sparkle Sauce by Pop Beauty comes in what appears to be a puff paint squeeze tube, but it’s actually a powerful weapon in maintaining smudge-free eye makeup!

  • You’ve Been Dumped. Let’s Move On

    You’ve Been Dumped. Let’s Move On

    Newsflash: No one likes to be dumped. It’s the ultimate feeling of being unwanted, unloved, and just not good enough. Welcome to the last week of my life. After spending the last year hoping to do so, I finally reconnected with my high school sweetheart — someone I had tons of history with and who knows me better than anyone.

  • Saturday Read: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

    Saturday Read: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

    I have been anticipating the release of “The Lost Symbol” since Dan Brown announced it right after “The Da Vinci Code” rose to fame. Years later, I finally have a copy in my hands. I ran out Sunday morning to Wal-mart to pick it up (and got it for 45% off!) and eagerly dug in.

    Having Sex Does Not Make Us Slutty

    I like sex. A lot. And while I consider myself to be fairly sexually experienced, I can count my sexual partners on one hand, and the vast majority of my experiences were with someone I was in a long-term relationship with. I am not a slu

    Weekly Wrap Up: Enough With Kanye Already!

    It’s been a rough week. Not only did we realize that we’ve suddenly got mountains of reading to do, but we also found out that drinking more doesn’t actually cure a hangover. We’ve also got swine flue worries, toxic friends, and the Kanye West-Joe Wilson battle for Biggest Douche of the Year to deal with.

  • Lessons Learned from Annie Le

    Lessons Learned from Annie Le

    If you’ve read any news blogs or even watched a televised newscast in the last week and a half, chances are that you’ve heard the tragic story of Annie Le, the Yale grad student who disappeared ten days ago. Her body was found hidden inside a wall at the building where she worked last Sunday—which was to have been her wedding day. Now a lab technician named Raymond Clark has been charged with Annie’s murder.

  • Single. And My “Ex” Isn’t

    Single. And My “Ex” Isn’t

    Fact: 100% of girls, always, look like complete sh*t at the gym. While I’m the exception to many rules, I am not the exception to this one. So you can imagine my horror, my utter horror, when I ran into a guy I used to date at the gym yesterday.
