Tuffy Luv Sez: Fear of What Now?!
Dear Tuffy Love, I have a major crush on my RA. I know it’s wrong and the chances of something happening are almost zero, but I can’t seem to get rid of these feelings. He is super hot and funny and sweet and sooo cool. The problem is (other than the fact that he’s my RA) that he’s a senior and I’m only a freshman. I don’t know what to do.
The English Language Gets Facebooked
The reign of social media lives on as the New Oxford dictionary (“The world’s most trusted dictionary”) named ‘unfriend’ the word of the year. Yes, as in: “Some whack-job keeps invited me to play Farmville so I unfriended his lame ass.”

Being Single Is Making Me Fat
When I broke up with my last boyfriend I was ecstatic to have my personal time back. It had been a long time since I’d had my own routine and I couldn’t wait to do what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. I had grand plans of daily visits to the gym, cooking my weird healthy meals and eating them on the couch while watching marathons of Say Yes To The Dress.
Candy Dish: Taylor Lautner’s a Michigan Fan
• And other facts he shared with Jay Leno.
• The 10 most obvious reality show one-liners.

• Ew, Michael Lohan, EW!
Gossip Girl: 4 Boobs, 2 Girls, 1 Bad Romance
Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl was good. Really good. Not only is there a pretty handsome new man lurking (and dealing drugs) on the Upper East Side, but Chuck Bass continued his streak as the good boy by protecting J-Humph from this bad boy’s ways. And if you didn’t totally swoon when Chuck told him off, you obviously have something seriously wrong with your libido.

• Angelina smiles! (Oh wait…that’s not the news.)

Dogs Make Monday Better
It’s Monday. I am out of clean clothes, but I’m also out of quarters, meaning I’m wearing a bathing suit bottom for underwear. And it keeps giving me a wedgie. I ate a piece of cheese and applesauce for lunch because my fridge is empty. And I am 4 very long days away from the weekend…

Here’s to You, Professor Robinson
Usually, I’m not the kind of girl to find much older men attractive. I guess I just like ‘em bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I know it’s perfectly normal, and even expected, for women to date older men, but I don’t see the appeal of it. I’ll take Zac Efron over George Clooney any day of the week.
Jimmy Choo for H&M: Our Favorite Picks
I think diffusion lines might be the best thing to ever happen to us college girls, after happy hour and delivery food, of course. We can only do so much drooling as we click through the Bloomingdale’s website until we need something tangible to hang in our closets. It is this online window shopping and my empty wallet that had me anxiously awaiting Jimmy Choo’s new line for H&M.
Wardrobe Wish List: Belted And Buckled Bootie
I love clothes. I have a closet full of them. And 2 dressers. And an underbed storage thingy. Yet, when it comes to getting dressed I tend to go for the same things every time. I don’t know if it’s laziness or just a lack of creativity, but I always find myself in the same outfit: a black shirt and jeans.
I’m Torn: The Swine Flu Vaccine
At this point, Swine Flu (or H1N1 if we want to be politically correct) has been branded into our consciousness. It seems like we can’t go anywhere without seeing a poster or a commercial telling us to protect ourselves. Suddenly the lessons we learned in grammar school are being made into multi-million dollar ad campaigns. “Wash your hands! Cover your mouth when you cough!”
Our Lives Are Duuuurty: Five Things Dirtier Than a Toilet Seat
Despite the fact that I ran around for weeks downing Airbourne and bathing myself in hand sanitizer, I couldn’t outrun the flu and it currently has me severely down and out (don’t worry I’m not about to sprout a curly tail over here, it’s just our regular old seasonal pal).
Body Blog: Break Those Diet Rules
Attempting to lose weight can be seriously stressful when you feel like you have to follow a laundry list of rules—don’t eat after 7 pm, banish white flour, etc.—in addition to hitting the dreaded treadmill and the stinky weight-room. According to Women’s Health magazine, however, it’s possible to shed pounds successfully without listening to every piece of diet advice that gets thrown around (or, you know, printed in Women’s Health).
Candy Dish: Megan Fox is Confused
• “Why don’t people like me!?”
• People still aren’t feeling Chris Brown.
• Who are GQ’s men of the year?
• Timeless jewelry that doesn’t cost ya.
• Paris Hilton wants to be a Kardashian.
• Pole dancing is not for weddings.
The Weekly Ten: Most Common (and Regrettable) Party Pictures
This week I’m focusing on the “click click flash” that consumes your weekend. You go out, someone inevitably breaks out the camera (every 4 minutes) and you start posing like you’re ready for the cover of Nylon. Great idea, but these pictures are going to end up on Facebook for the world to see the next day when you’re sober. Oof.
Overheard: Bad Bromance
(Two girls in the dining hall.)
Girl 1: I know. I’m the best wing man ever!
Girl 2: Well, who’s your wing man?
Girl 1: (Pointing to her breasts and shimmying) I’ve got two.
