Cosmo Says the Darndest Things: June Edition
Every month when I pick up my Cosmo, my roommate always picks it up off the coffee table and starts to read it. It’s entertaining, I know. But really, the only reason I read it is for research for this column. Don’t people (a.k.a my roommate) realize this magazine is filled with nonsense?! It doesn’t even have juicy celeb gossip to read to make me feel like I’m part of the inner celebrity circle.
8 Under $20: Victoria Has a Secret (On Sale!)
Seriously though, Victoria’s Secret is so amazing for summer, especially the PINK line. All of the bright colors, soft breathable fabric, and summer-licious patterns. There’s just something about the store. I’m going to go ahead and blame the countless dollars I spend there on all of the fumes from Love Spell they spritz in the beauty section…

The 11 Things We Wish Guys Would Do More Often
Earlier today, while procrastinating on that whole “find a summer job” thing, I came across an article on Glamour.com entitled, “11 Things Men Want You to Do More Often—in Bed and Out. The list is honest and endearing, but there’s one major problem: most women don’t receive half of these courtesies in return.
Do-It-Yourself Tuesdays: T-Shirt Bracelet
If there’s one thing all college girls have it’s an abundance of drunk selfies t-shirts. Sure, you need a few to sleep in or work out in, but the rest? They’re just taking up coveted space in that teeny dorm closet.
The Post-Grad Journey: And The Journey Begins
Originally, I thought I wanted to attend graduate school and work towards a higher degree in English literature. I spent the entire fall semester working on taking the GRE exam, filling out graduate applications (and spending major money on sending them out!), and writing the most intense essay of my undergraduate career to send along to my program choices.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Get Over Your Crappy Friend
Dear Tuffy Luv, So freshman year is coming to close, but with a terrible ending. My best friend here has decided to go chase after the guy I had a history with/crush on at the beginning of the year. I’ve moved on from liking him ever since he clearly rejected me in February and have been able to settle on friendly terms with him even though he really left me in the dirt.
Wanna Go To Harvard? Just Lie!
It’s a widely accepted fact that many of us do a bit of exaggerating when it comes time to fill out those college applications. Little “white lies” to make ourselves sound just a bit more (how should I put this?) refined. But 23-year-old former Harvard student, Adam Wheeler, took lying on his college and scholarship apps to a whole new level.

Running the Bases, College Style
Was there anything more exhilarating, more energizing, more exciting than grilling a friend over AIM in 7th grade about what base she got to with her boyfriend? Of course at that point, first base was getting matched up with a guy during an intensive game of M.A.S.H, second base was making out in the back row of a movie theater while your friends sitting next to you giggled, and third base was letting him feel your training bra over your shirt.
From PopEater: Chelsea Handler Mocks Her Ex in Comedy Show
If Chelsea Handler’s ex, Comcast head honcho Ted Harbert, is harboring any doubts that their breakup won’t stick, he should go see her one-woman show, ‘Chelsea, Chelsea, Bang, Bang.’ Chelsea certainly isn’t drowning her sorrows in her Belvedere. The raunchy comedienne is having the time of her life.
Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey Ruins Everything
Holy hell, the hits just kept on coming. First we discover Dan and Serena did a little lip-locking, then Jenny sells out her own bro in some evil plot to get Nate to love her perhaps we should send her a copy of “He’s Just Not That Into You”?), then Blair finds Jenny in Brooklyn and does probably the meanest thing she’s ever done.
Candy Dish: Daaaaaamnn, Jennifer Hudson!
• Jennifer Hudson looks hot, has it all.
• Makeup can make you sick.
• Check out Mac’s sizzling new summer collection!
• Ke$ha’s getting even weirder. If that’s possible.
• Wait, Justin Bieber is more than friends with Miley?!
• Two CW stars get their happily ever after.
The Creepiest Tampon Ads of All Time? [VIDEO]
No, they’re not tubes of chapstick or popsicles. Those, ladies, are grown men dressed as tampons. The French division of Tampax decided this was the best marketing strategy to take when pitching you their product. Huh?
Singin’ The Graduation Blues
Four years ago, I started the crazy journey that is college. Though it doesn’t seem like four years ago; the entire experience flew by. It felt like just yesterday that I stepped foot onto Penn State’s main campus and now I’m packing up my apartment and heading off into some crazy unknown direction, also known as the casa de mama and papa.
