Budget Stylista: The Bolder the Better!
Spring is right around the corner!! Okay that is a total lie BUT Spring Break is right around the corner, giving us all the perfect excuse to don a great dress. And this season the bolder, the better.
WTF Friday: Stinky Cities
After seeing this headline on MSNBC.com this morning, we have three questions:
1. How slow of a news day is it if this is considered a “top story”?
2. Exactly who has the job of figuring this out?
3. Why did I plan that trip to Las Vegas for July??

Pole Dancing at the Olympics?
Every four years we count down the days until the Olympics when we can watch the world’s most talented athletes compete for the gold in all of our favorite sports. You know… curling, skeleton, and tug-of-war (yes, it was actually once an Olympic sport). OK so maybe they’re not our favorite sports…. and maybe we hear nothing about them all year until the Olympics… and then maybe we spend the whole time trying to figure out what is going on.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: I Love My Body
As women, we spend a lot of our time focusing on our flaws. Whether it’s standing in front of a mirror and staring at the cellulite on our thighs, talking about said cellulite with our girls over salads (dressing on the side!), or Googling creams that promise to erase cellulite, we tend to only notice the negatives.

Down to the Bones: An Interview With Anorexia and Bulimia
My friend Tina (not her real name, obviously) suffered alternatively from anorexia and bulimia for years and she agreed to share her story. Her anorexia began when she was around eleven years old, and continued on and off. When she began to suffer from bulimia, she was fifteen. She used to throw up after every meal, no matter how small it was.

Coupled. And Broke
It should be no surprise to my fellow college students that I’m broke. We all are. So it’s also no surprise that my boyfriend is too. But sometimes this little fact of life can get in the way of our relationship. It’s hard to have spectacular dates when your electric bill is past due, and you can’t really expect fancy anniversary presents when you’re digging into the couch cushions for gas money.
Fashion Porn: Polka Dot Orgy
The countdown to spring continues. Only three (fingers crossed) more weeks to go! As my school’s spring break was last week, I am currently enviously admiring the tans of my classmates lucky enough to flee warmer weather. With most American schools still weeks away from break, now is the time to start thinking about what to wear.
The 5 Texts You Just Can’t Delete
It’s Thursday night, 8:00 PM. Most kids on my campus are pre-gaming in their rooms watching the new episode of The Office, but I am sitting half-comatose in a giant lecture hall, taking notes on Neo-freudians. It’s my own fault for picking such an unfortunately scheduled class, but I still silently curse my Ben Stein-clone of a professor as my phone vibrates for the tenth time since class started.
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week: Do I? Am I?
Ladies, in honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, it’s time to ask ourselves, “Do I?” and “Am I?” It’s about looking at our own lives, and figuring out what’s healthy and what’s not.
The Know: This Post Will Change Your Life as You Know It
I know on this website time and again we talk about how we should put in a little more effort for class, not roll out of bed in baggy sweats and at least put on jeans. But we all know that in the winter months even jeans seem like a lot of effort. Not to mention the uncomfortable factor of your jeans digging into you after weeks of late night pizza fests.
Chris Brown is on Team Tiger
There are so many things you can do to brighten your public image as a celebrity: volunteer work; stay out of the tabloids; or maybe (for the benefit of society) just staying out of the public eye for a while, laying low, keeping to yourself. None of which Chris Breezy is doing, and homeboy could use all the help he can get in improving his image.
