It’s Allergy Season for RPatz
Ever since Twilight hit the theaters, the world has been looking for signs of a love affair between RPatz and K-Stew. We’ve been looking for photo evidence and waiting for some confirmation from their reps. But maybe what we should have been looking for is an itchy rash around Robert’s mouth?
Three Spring Trends I Can’t Wait To Wear
So I know that half the country is covered in pounds of snow right now, but for some reason I can’t get my mind off the sunshine. All I can think about is pretty colored drinks in hollowed out fruits (and what I’ll be wearing when I drink them).

College Q&A: What’s The Deal With Spring Break?
I’m a Freshman and my first ever college spring break is coming. All of my friends want to do this Cancun trip (everyone we know is going), but it’s really expensive. I want to go away with all of them, but I don’t know if its worth the money. Is this the kind of thing I “can’t miss out on” like they all say?
Where’s All That “Change,” President Obama?
Our country has had the luck of having some great leaders, uh, lead us, presidential or otherwise. Today’s a day to commemorate, respect and analyze the past and future actions of our country’s leaders. So let’s all raise a glass and pour one out for the current big man on campus, Barack Obama.
Body Blog: It’s Obama’s Workout Plan!
If you somehow haven’t noticed by now, the Obama’s are BUFF. With Michelle baring her toned arms in those sleeveless dresses we love so much and Barack going shirtless in Hawaii (yum), there’s no doubt we’ve got a fit couple leading our country. The Obama’s get it done – and if they can do it, so can we!

The Weekly Ten: John Mayer Isn’t The Worst Guy On Earth
As I’m sure anyone with an internet connection, mobile phone, or the ability to read knows: John Mayer is a tremendous douche bag. In a recent interview with Playboy, he reminds America (as if his Twitter feed wasn’t proof enough) why he is the most irritating dbag on the planet.

Overheard, With Feeling
(Girls, at breakfast.)
Girl 1: How was the party?
Girl 2: Weird. Some guy and his girlfriend trapped me in the bathroom all night.
Using Protection Has Never Been So Fun
This year, Valentine’s Day kicks off National Condom Week (coincidence? I think not), and it’s time to give these little rubbers the appreciation they deserve! I mean really, what would life be without them (besides there being a lot more episodes of Teen Mom…)?
The Morning After: Stains on the Futon
It all started on an innocent Sunday night in my routine of “Get up, survive, go back to bed.” I had a math test to cram into my brain for Monday afternoon, so I was in the dorm room jamming away on my calculator and re-learning weeks of notes when I heard the door open. My roommate sauntered into the room with a friend. A man-friend.
Intro to Cooking: Banana-Nut Whole-Grain Pancakes
I am a self-confessed hippie eater. No, I do not eat hippies. However, I do eat in the way that most hippies do—that is, staples of my diet include wheat germ, quinoa, and organics of all kinds, and, occasionally, I will even go out on a limb and try something like Kefir. Basically, I want my body to be as healthy as possible, so I’m going to put healthy things in it.
CC Beauty Live: High End Vs. Drug Store Mascara
Even though I am a beauty guru of sorts (dishing out sage makeup wisdom) and own lots of high end beauty products, I still like to budget shop for drug store options. I am a cost conscious college girl, after all.
One Month Challenge: Sober, Week 2
It’s official: I’ve been 100% sober for a full two weeks! (I’ve even opted out of using mouthwash!) While that may not be such a big deal to some people out there (ahem, mean commenters, ahem), I am really, really proud of myself. Especially after the week I’ve had.

Awww! He lent you his sweatshirt! It’s so comfy and cozy and it smells refreshingly lik…
Do You Miss Him or The Relationship?
Whether you end things or he does, break-ups are hard. There’s a reason they’re quickly followed by carb loading (cookies and/or pints of beer) and making out with a rando against a wall.But relationships end for a reason; it’s just too bad that many of us are completely unable to remember the reason when we’re elbow deep in Oreos and crying at the latest Zales commercial.
Saturday Read: Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay
I’ll admit it: this week I fell prey to the “Recommended” table at my local book store. Being a bookseller, I find myself to be a bit of a book snob and will rarely listen to advice about my reading material. However, I am also a sucker for a nice cover (yeah, I judge a book by its cover) and “Sarah’s Key” indeed has a nice cover. So I picked it up, read a few pages and before I could resist, I was hooked.
