Coupled. New Year’s Resolutions
I’m a resolution maker. I think January 1 is a great time to stop, think about the things you want to do better for yourself, and start the improvement process. And while I’ve set a few for myself this year (thanks to that post-holiday trip to the scale), what I’m most excited for are the resolutions I’ve set for my relationship.
New Year’s Eve Isn’t All About The Kiss
To be honest, I have no idea who I’ll be smooching during the first second of 2010, and frankly I find the hype surrounding the whole thing kind of strange. And annoying. NYE is so awesome in so many ways; the kiss shouldn’t make or break your night! So, if you’re like me and you have no idea where your lips will be come 12:00 AM on January 1 (or if you know for a fact they’ll be firmly attached to a glass of bubbly), pump yourself up with the equally amazing or even better aspects of our final night of 2009.

CollegeCandy’s BCS Bowl Guide!
As a student at a Big Ten school, football has become my soul purpose in life. From crackin’ the first beer in the shower at 6am on game day to FB-stalking the quarterback (shhh!), my world revolves around a bunch of dudes in spandex tackling each other on some astro turf.
New Year’s Resolutions For The College Girl
Resolutions have never been my forte. The promise of a new year and a better me just isn’t enough to keep me from binge drinking and blowing off the gym every now and again in order to watch a full day’s worth of TBS. What can I say? Resolve just isn’t one of my stronger qualities.

The Rival Rundown: UConn vs Tennessee
This week we deviate from our typical Rival Rundown in two ways. First, we’ll be covering a (women’s!) basketball rivalry, as the athletic calendar moves into a new season. Second, this rivalry–between the University of Connecticut and the University of Tennessee–has been canceled!
Ask A Dude: Too Much Too Soon?
Hey dude, I find myself constantly single, and I’m wondering if it’s because i’m too “forward.” I’ve been told I’m the “dateable” type and that I’m pretty, but I think sometimes I tend to rush things with guys a little bit. For example, this guy asked me on a date a week ago, and it was great! I’ve known him for a while through mutual friends, and I was really flattered he asked me.
Skinny Jeans Are Better Than Sex?
If there’s one thing I know about Americans, it’s that we’ve got our priorities straight. We choose McDonalds over home-cooked meals, use plastic over paper (an attempt to “Go Green?”) and love fitting into our old jeans more than having sex. Wait, what?
Green-Out Your NYE Bash
As 2009 winds down and 2010 looms ahead, we all begin thinking about the important things in life. I think most of us can agree that at the top of our list would be one of the most important things of all – throwing an epic NYE bash!
Small Changes That Will Have Big Results in 2010
With every new year comes a handful of far-fetched resolutions and often unrealistic goals we set for ourselves. We vow to be better in the new year: to be thinner, study more, drink less, exercise more, etc, etc. And then we throw them all away during our post-NYE hangover the next morning.
Would You Rather… Awkward Moments [POLL]
Whether you’re furiously shopping online for the perfect shoes for your NYE outfit (Zappos has overnight shipping, right?!), or simply catching up on old episodes of How I Met Your Mother (while I sit here working…), it’s time to take a break and play a little game of “Would You Rather?” Because there is no better way to round out 2009 than by pondering life’s strangest situations.
Want a Job? Try These 10 Industries
No matter how often I search “high-paying magazine job” on Monster.com, or how many fake ads I peruse on Craigslist, the harsh reality is that our economy still kinda sucks…and finding a job isn’t easy for anybody (even a charming, well-educated woman like myself).
My 2010 Fashion Resolutions
Sure, from the surface it doesn’t seem obvious that we should make fashion resolutions, but why not? Fashion is an extension of who we are. It’s the first thing people see when they meet us, therefore judging us by whatever fashion mishaps we might happen to be dealing with.
