Would You Rather…
Would You Rather have an unpaid summer internship with a boss like Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada or a summer job making bank as a nanny for the brattiest group of triplets you can imagine?
What’s Up With All These Crazy Superfans?
Young girls sobbing, clawing out at a stray shirttail, an errant sleeve, or maybe a baggy pant leg. They shake with excitement and shout “I love you!” at the top of their lungs as the object of their affection passes by. They are eternally grateful for even the smallest sign of acknowledgement, clinging to a wink or nod as a shipwrecked sailor might to floating debris.

I Love Your Style: Lux Lisbon
If you haven’t seen The Virgin Suicides, go see it! RIGHT NOW! Directed by Sofia Coppola, another style icon, you can see how the 5 Lisbon sisters’ lives unfold in this dreamy and mysterious (and true) story. Originally based on the book by Jeffery Eugenides, the story is set in the 1970s in a town about 15 minutes away from where I live.

The Hills: They’re on a Mother F***ing Boat

Web Spy: Yummly
I love to cook, but sometimes I have trouble trying to figure out what to make–I get sick of the same old recipes over and over, and there are times when nothing sounds good.

Is The College “Dating” Scene Ruining Us?
Red solo cups litter the floors and tables, filled with either Busch Light or some untrustworthy concoction made by the bartender. So called “bartender” is actually some frat boy wearing a beer helmet and a sign around his neck that says “007.”
Should I Feel Guilty That I Can Afford an Unpaid Internship?
No one would ever walk up to a friend on financial aid and accuse her parents of being lazy, good-for-nothing, bad parents for not making enough money to send her to college. Yet people feel completely comfortable going up to a friend with an unpaid internship and accusing her of being a spoiled brat because she’s fortunate enough to be able to afford spending a summer making no money.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Vinyl Record Bookend
The other day, while aimlessly roaming through the overpriced yet drool-worthy home goods at Urban Outfitters, I came across some adorable vinyl record bookends. They looked so cute hugging a stack of blogs-turned-books on the table and I just needed to have them. I have this problem where my books always tip over on my bookshelf and then it gets all messy and then my studying gets interrupted because I’m OCD…
The Post-Grad Journey: The Job Hunt!
With a full week in California under my belt, I’ve officially moved in. This move-in was a lot different than any dorm room move-in I’ve done throughout college. Instead of signing for my dorm key, I signed a lease. A real “I’m an adult, I must abide by this contract or I’m legally responsible” lease.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Make New Friends, Plz
Dear Tuffy Luv, I just don’t know what to do because I feel like I’m missing out on the essential college experiences. I’m graduating next year and I don’t want to look back and wish that I had gotten my sh*t together in time to enjoy college. I just want to be normal and carefree and fun like I used to. Besides aren’t men supposed to be the ones with commitment issues? What would you do?
Beer is Good For You. Hooray!
I don’t know about you, but the majority of my girlfriends will incessantly whine at a party if there is only beer available.
“It makes me full.”
“I don’t like the taste.”
Cosmo Says The Darndest Things: July Edition
True to form, this month I loyally snatched my July edition of Cosmo. I couldn’t help wondering what on earth my girl Shakira was wearing on the cover. Was that a lace leotard and jeans? And after seeing the headline: “Vaginas Under Attack” I couldn’t wait to snap open the magazine, whip out my notepad and get reading. Just like middle school!

The Bachelorette: Kasey Just Wants to Guard and Protect Ali’s Heart…. Now in Iceland
“I’m trying to be the man of her dreams. That’s why I got this tattoo – to be someone.” And so began Kasey’s downward spiral on the latest episode of The Bachelorette, which was, without a doubt, the most entertaining part of last night’s episode.
