  • Where Are The Good Guys?

    Where Are The Good Guys?

    I can’t count how many times I have (mistakenly) given out my number to someone who quickly turned out to be oh-so-wrong. Picture texts of men posing with their shirts off, suggestive texts begging me to send them pictures of myself, guys with girlfriends – I’ve seen it all.

  • Penn State Dances for Money (In a Good Way!)

    Penn State Dances for Money (In a Good Way!)

    Yesterday marked the beginning of the 48-hour Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, more commonly known as THON. Impressively, THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. It’s a fundraiser whose fight is solely to conquer pediatric cancer.

  • Saturday Read: Frommer’s 500 Extraordinary Islands

    Saturday Read: Frommer’s 500 Extraordinary Islands

    Since I have been thinking about a Greek Island vacation, “500 Extraordinary Islands” seemed like a great option. This book gives “beach read” a whole new meaning. It’s a unique travel book; instead of simply touring you around a country, this one gives you the opportunity to check out wonderful places all over the planet!

  • From CollegeFashion: 7 Fashion Rules You Should Break

    From CollegeFashion: 7 Fashion Rules You Should Break

    As someone who loves fashion but doesn’t believe in old-fashioned rules, I say it’s time to put some of these style myths to rest once and for all. It’s 2010, and grandma’s fashion rules just don’t apply anymore.

  • Weekly Wrap Up: I Can’t Stop Watching The Olympics

    Weekly Wrap Up: I Can’t Stop Watching The Olympics

    I don’t know about you, but I could not stop watching the thrill of moguls, downhill skiing, and the hockey hunks tear it up over the ice this week. Something about the Olympics just brings me back to when I wanted to be Kristi Yamaguchi (but not Tonya Harding).

  • Ten Things Every Girl Needs to Know

    Ten Things Every Girl Needs to Know

    It’s time to man up, ladies, and empower yourselves to live life without the aid of Prince Charming. Not only does this make our lives a whole lot easier (hello, do you really want to wait around for someone to jump-start your car?), but sometimes it’s safer to take matters into our own hands (instead of asking some rando to do it for us).

  • Single. And Cynical

    Single. And Cynical

    This has been a rough month. On top of approaching midterms, stress over summer internship plans, and the most awful Political Science professor known to mankind (he legitimately looks like a cartoon character, has the intelligence of an action figure, and wears his cell phone around his neck on a rope…), it seems like half of my school has recently been broken up with.

  • Help Haiti This Spring Break

    Help Haiti This Spring Break

    While many view the traditional MTV Spring Break as an essential, critical, and irreplaceable college experience, lately girls have been unpacking their bikinis and trading them in for work boots all in the name of Haiti.

  • Budget Stylista: Clothes of a Feather Flock To Me

    Budget Stylista: Clothes of a Feather Flock To Me

    NYFW has now come to a close and while I’m sad my Twitter page won’t be filled with tweets of only the best fashion porn live from the runways, I can now dream up how I will apply soon-to-hit trends into my everyday ensembles. One way? Feathers.

  • WTF Friday: Elin and Tiger (Still) Sittin’ In a Tree?

    WTF Friday: Elin and Tiger (Still) Sittin’ In a Tree?

    So Tiger Woods has finally spoken. And after six weeks of silence and rehab (and a break from all that sexting, I hope), homeboy went on for a full fourteen minutes this morning. It was calculated, practiced and the same BS I expected: he feels bad, it’s inexcusable, he felt entitled, yada, yada, yada.

  • Shutter Island. Why, Leo, Why?

    Shutter Island. Why, Leo, Why?

    If you’ve ever seen a scary movie, you know that they’re low budget productions with sh*tty actors and sh*ttier special effects. I mean, did anyone see House of Wax? No? Yeah, me neither….

  • The CC Weekly Weigh In: Going For The Gold

    The CC Weekly Weigh In: Going For The Gold

    We’ve got Olympic fever around here. Not only are the games exciting to watch (what up, J.R. Celski), but those Olympians are truly inspirational. We can only imagine what it feels like to be so good at something that you are chosen to represent your country on a global stage.

  • Duke It Out: Sheer for Spring?

    Duke It Out: Sheer for Spring?

    I really thought that this trend was going to die last year, but apparently, I really missed it on that call. From what I have seen so far from the runways and red carpets, sheer is back for spring. And I’m not just talking sheer here – I’m talking “hello world, here’s my bra” no tank top, sheer.
