Halloween Costumes for the Procrastinators Of The World
It’s Halloween crunch time. One morning you roll out of bed and realize your roommates have already perfected their Village People getup, your best friend and her boyfriend are pop culture referencing the shiz out of Taylor and Kanye, and your pseudo-fratty neighbors have their imitation silk Wal-Mart robes ready to make Hugh Hefner proud.
Noah Cyrus Makes Me Feel Less Slutty
Yeah, I dressed up as a slutty sorority girl for Halloween one year. Yeah, I wore a mini skirt, knee pads and taped condoms to my t-shirt. Yeah, I looked like a total whore. But I was 20…. and my costume was nothing compared to my BFF’s sexy flapper look (we did a group thing: Sluts of the Century…)

Wardrobe Wish List: H&M Velvet Sneakers
This past weekend, I went on a bit of a shopping spree with my friend (yes, I realize that I should be saving my money for more important things like, I don’t know, college and my future, but the mall was calling me!). We get there and what do I see? H&M, which was still under construction the last time I had been at the mall, had finally opened!
I’m Torn: Making The First Move
Boys. What a confusing subject. More confusing than my European History class and Biological Bases of Behavior class combined, and they’re tough enough alone as it is. You think they feel one way and it turns out they feel the exact opposite; sometimes good, other times bad. If they’re were an award on Most Mixed Messages Sent In One Night, boys would definitely take the cake. And the trophy.
Beware of Meggings!
When it comes to fashion, Americans seem to be a little late on the uptake. More often then not, fashion trends start elsewhere before they creep their way over to NYC, L.A., and the rest of this fine place we call home. While this often leaves us waiting in anticipation for the latest craze in handbags or jeans to make their way into our closets, we aren’t always leaping to be the next nation to pick up a trend.
Body Blog: Wanna Be Thin and Healthy??
We treat our bodies pretty poorly in college. We stay up late, we put our livers to the test (daily), and we eat a whole lot of unhealthy treats. And we feel the effects on Monday morning when we’re trudging to class in pants that barely fit and a foggy, unhappy brain.
Candy Dish: What’s Up With Paris Hilton?
• Paris Hilton is looking….boob-ular.
• Ivanka Trump is married.
• In more Gosselin news…Jon still sucks.
• Noah Cyrus the next Lindsay Lohan?
• We’re lovin’ Rachel Roy for Macy’s.
• New Moon goes on tour!

So, Who Won The New Moon Gift Basket?
As you all know good and well, last week we teamed up with our BFFAEAE’s over at Chickdowntown to give two lucky readers the chance to win the ultimate New Moon gift basket. What could you win?
Were Midterms a Major FAIL? Turn it Around
So midterms have come and gone. Whether your calling home boasting to mom and dad about how well you’re doing on their $40,000 a year, or crying your eyes out at the thought of failing out of freshman math, everyone is glad to be out of those couple weeks of hell. For those of us who haven’t aced all of our tests, we have no calm after the storm.
Overheard: Mr. Darcy is Batman
(One girl, leaning across the aisle during class.)
Girl 1: Hey… hey.
Girl 2: What?
Girl 1: Have you ever been to CakeFarts dot com?
It’s Time To Get Into The Halloween Spirit!
Getting into the Halloween spirit means more than figuring out the most creative way to look slutty and drinking the night away while dancing with a giant penis . Don’t get me wrong, do all that too, but in the final week until All Hallow’s Eve, make sure take part in other festive activities in honor of the best holiday of the YEAR.
The Morning After: The Power of Shower Shoes
Sophomore year I had gone through a bad breakup, things weren’t going so well with my roommate and my grades were plummeting. Long days running my frustration out at the gym and longer nights of drowning my sorrows in alcohol were really wearing down my system. I knew a breakdown was looming, but there was no predicting when or where it was going to happen.
Intro To Cooking: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Though it’s getting a bit chillier these days, it’s still Fall, pumpkin-flavored anything is still awesome, and there’s basically nothing better than waking up and making yourself pancakes on a blustery morning, afternoon, or night. Ok, so maybe having some hottie do it for you would be nice, but you’ll forget all about that once you bite into these badboys.
