Honesty Is Not Always the Best Policy
Whoever said that “honesty is the best policy” has obviously never been in a relationship, nor had a best friend on their period. Sometimes a girl’s best friend is a white lie. Trust me, I know from experience. Not only have I had a petition signed against me (yeah, really), but I’ve also gotten into many fights that could have been avoided by not being brutally honest.
The Know: Saving Grace For Your Face
Let’s FACE it (pun intended): in the summer months in most cities on this fine continent, there really is no point in showering much less putting on makeup, because the second you step outside into the sweltering heat, those sweat stains start showing, your hair starts a’froing (look at that – a rhyme!) and your makeup starts running down your face.

Campus Couture: Brooklyn, Drake University
At a school where most girls’ wardrobes are dominated by T-shirts and going-out tops, I always find it refreshing to spot a girl who takes her style seriously.

The 20 Things That Are Only OK in College
Keg stands, day drinking, mardi gras beads, vegging out at home during the holidays… these are all things that happen during college. And by all accounts, they should happen, you know, before you’re catapulted into the real world where whatever you do at your local bar on a Thursday will not go over well in your cubicle on Friday. Yeah, not only does college give you that yummy degree, it gives you the freedom to act like a college kid.
Ask A Dude: I’m Too Shy To Flirt
Dear dude, Without sounding conceited, I’m smart, funny, pretty and I’ve got an hourglass figure. My problem is that I’ve got a whole lot of personality and apparently I’m intimidating to guys. Whenever I go to parties, I get hit on but it never goes anywhere because although I act really outgoing, I’m secretly shy when it comes to guys.

Senior Files: Creating the Perfect Work Wardrobe
Graduation is fast approaching and soon we college girls will have to swap our flip flops and sweats for pumps and two-piece suits. Unless you have an amazing job where you can work in your PJs, you’re going to need to update your wardrobe with some real people clothes (that don’t permanently smell of pizza and beer, no matter how many times you wash them).
Would You Rather…
Would You Rather have uncontrollable, loud gas at your first dinner with your boyfriend’s parents OR find out that your parents snooped and read every text message in your phone?
4 Professors Who Deserve to Get The Boot
Remember in high school when you and all of your friends failed the same exam and you were convinced it was the teacher’s fault? “She never taught ANY of this stuff “ you bantered. In a fit of rage, you stormed to an advisor to make a complaint. You knew something had to be done about this dreadful teacher, and you were certain that if enough of you joined together, the school would surely do away with her.
