  • PS I Made This Is My DIY Heaven

    PS I Made This Is My DIY Heaven

    In my travels across cyberspace I come upon a lot of new sites. From fashion blogs, to a new collection of funny videos, to online magazines with entertaining stories about college life. But my most recent discovery has quickly developed into a must visit. It’s PSIMadeThis.com and it’s amazing.

  • Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: December Edition

    Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: December Edition

    So, I know this month’s Cosmo Says is fashionably late (blame it on a premature reaction to Tryptophan), but it’s here now. And you should be happy because not only was the December issue chock full of goodies, but now you have something to distract you while your little cousins run around your house screaming and you attempt to digest that 3lbs of stuffing you just inhaled.

    The Facial Pick-Me-Up

    Thanksgiving break seems like a long and luxurious break from the crazy college world, but with all the people you have to see, shopping you have to do and family you have to spend time with, Thanksgiving turns into one exhausting escape. And, considering it has been months (or maybe even years) since you have last seen home people, looking your best is of utmost importance.

  • College, I Thank Thee

    College, I Thank Thee

    This awesome occurrence—and the general mood of November—got me thinking about how many things about college I have to be thankful for. I don’t want to sound too clichéd or sappy, but the past three and a half years have definitely been the best of my life; I can’t believe it’s all going to be over in May. College, that is, not my life.

  • My Freshman Year: Learning To Beat The Clock

    My Freshman Year: Learning To Beat The Clock

    Over the past three months, I’ve found myself falling victim to a peril of college life that most don’t consider an issue until it hits them. It’s that feeling of uncontrollable anxiety when you realize you have three papers, several long reading assignments, classes, TA sessions, club meetings, play rehearsals, study sessions, and exams (breathe) all happening in a very, very short time span.

  • The Black Friday Go-To Outfit

    The Black Friday Go-To Outfit

    I am so excited for Thanksgiving break that I can barely contain myself. Instead of doing my homework, I’m watching Paula Dean stuff her turkey with a stick of butter on TV and listening to my mom describe her fancy new table settings to me over the phone.

  • I’m Not Thankful For Thanksgiving

    I’m Not Thankful For Thanksgiving

    Unlike the rest of the world, Thanksgiving is my least-favorite holiday. I know, I know—the food, the laziness, the time off from work, the family (well . . . maybe that’s not such a plus)—what’s not to love?

  • What Can Your Computer Do For You?

    What Can Your Computer Do For You?

    True Life: I’m completely dependent on my computer. It’s my life source, as sad as that sounds. But honestly, it can do EVERYTHING. And when I say everything, I mean it. I bet you didn’t know the extent of your computer’s power. With one simple USB port, the world is your oyster.

    • DROOL.
    • Is LiLo getting a reality show?!
    • WTF is Rihanna wearing?
    • Good Morning America gives Adam Lambert the boot.
    • Well, this is one effed up family.
    • Paula Deen gets up close and personal with a pig.

  • Welcome to the Biggest Bar Night of the Year

    Welcome to the Biggest Bar Night of the Year

    Thanksgiving is a-comin’, ladies! Time for some turkey, stuffing (my absolute favorite treat on earth) and reuniting with all your old home friends. Oh, and hopefully a major shopping spree with mom. Is there any other reason to come home?

  • 8 Under $20: Victoria’s Secret

    8 Under $20: Victoria’s Secret

    If I know one thing it’s that girls who only shop at Victoria’s Secret for the bras/panties/sexy lingerie are really missing out. That Vicki has a lot more to offer than lacy underthings that make your boobs look huge; Victoria’s Secret is also an awesome place to stock up on clothes, shoes and beauty products. They even have jeans that give your butt some lift!

  • Thanksgiving Break Dos and Don’ts

    Thanksgiving Break Dos and Don’ts

    Being back under your parents’ roof for Thanksgiving comes with a cornucopia of blessings, such as mom doing your laundry, shopping sprees and overeating until you actually consider braving the Black Friday crowds just to purchase a pair of jeans with an elastic waistband. However, being back under mom and dad’s watchful eye can be treacherous, as well.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Wine Glass Rings

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Wine Glass Rings

    Let’s be honest: we college girls do most of our drinking out of red plastic cups. It might get the job done (and it’s usually free), but it’s far from classy. And sometimes we all need to be a little classy. If you’re looking to add some class to your weekly routine, consider having the girls over for some wine and cheese.
