The Ten Happiest (And Most Affordable) Places in the World
The Huffington Post just released a list of the 10 Happiest Places in the World. I was totally excited to recognize some of the places on the list and book my one-way ticket to nirvana, but had to reconsider when I didn’t even realize where some of these places were. Vanuatu? Hidakagwa? While the pictures are beyond amazing, I’m thinking the price tags that accompany a stay in these locations would be more than my college-girl budget could accommodate.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Dress Form Display Piece
I’m officially a college graduate and am joining the masses of recent grads sobbing audibly as they scroll through their Facebook photos from the past 4 years moving to a new city and a new life. As I pack up my boxes once again, I’ve realized that my college dorm décor may not exactly suit for the real world.

The Post-Grad Journey: The Best Time of Your Life?
“College is the best time of your life.” If you are in college, you will indisputably hear this more than a few times throughout your undergraduate years. Being told over and over again that college is in fact, “the best time of your life” is kind of intimidating – especially after graduation, leaving questions such as “If these past four years have been the very best, then what will I look forward to in the future?” to pop up.
Tuffy Luv: Just Say No To Dormcest
Dear Tuffy, Okay so I have a dilemma and I have been offered a LOT of advice on it but none of it seems to be the right fit for me. Maybe you can offer some third party advice that is more direct. There is a boy I currently like. Problems: 1) He just got out of a long term relationship. – Attempting to make a move now would just be pointless as he probably isn’t looking to jump into another relationship….
Sexting 101 – Yes, It’s a Real Class
Apparently ridiculous college courses are the new trend on campuses all over the world. I’d go so far as to call them “unnecessary,” but the 440 people who just enrolled in Potsdam University’s e-mail flirtation class would beat down my door (or fill my inbox…) in disagreement. Yes, you read that right- one German university is actually offering a master’s course on how to flirt via modern technology.
Maxim Says The Darndest Things: August Edition
It’s that time of month again when I nobly purchase my Maxim magazine, a pack of Dove Dark Chocolates and snuggle up on my couch to scan the half nudey pages of the man bible. I’m really starting to get used to this. I’ve learned a lot the past few months of scanning the pages chock full of boobs and booze, and this month did not disappoint.
Candy Dish: The Target Collaborations Keep Getting Better
• First look: Dolce Vita shoes for Target.
• Kate Gosselin gets a major DWTS snub.
• Is your late night booty ruining the environment?
• Uh, even I can’t stop looking at Blake’s boobs.
• Ancient dildo dug up. Yes, that’s a true statement.
• You’re in love with a friend…now what?

The Bachelorette: Craig R. Tells All (and the Other Guys Sit There)
Before the hurricane of tears that will be next week’s season finale of The Bachelorette, Monday night gave us one last chance to revisit some of our favorite men who sadly didn’t receive a rose from Ali. While the only people we wanted to see some faces were strategically missing (ahem: Justin R., Frank, and Evil Craig M.), the ones that were present were all smiles.
Candy Dish: Lindsay’s Not Making Friends Behind Bars
• Girlfriend can’t catch a break.
• I don’t think the NY Times likes Snooki very much.
• Apparently, we should all marry for money.
• So, Amanda Bynes is not retired?
• That’s an interesting pairing….
• Let The Situation backlash begin!
Save Money and Look Great By Doing It All Yourself
As college students on a budget, we sometimes have to sacrifice our favorite beauty regimens in favor of our weekly trips to Dollar Beer night (or maybe we are actually being responsible and shelling out a few hundred dollars on a semester’s worth of textbooks). But just because we want to save some money doesn’t mean we have to look like dingy hags with 12 cats and a knitting room.
Intern Diaries: Getting a Little Frustrated
Let me start this off by saying I love my internship. I mean really, I do. I know I might complain about it sometimes, but in the end I enjoy my time here and have gotten amazing experience.
Wanna Get Off The D-List? Come Out of the Closet!
t’s true: going gay is the life jacket to Hollywood careers. It does what no publicist, Oscar nomination or incarceration could ever manage. It’s more powerful than a nipple slip, more potent than an ill-fitting stage ensemble, and more memorable than general douche-baggery. It’s the key to going from child-star-turned-Vegan-farmer to Reality TV Show host.
Wardrobe Wish List: Victoria’s Secret Lacy Hoodie
It’s that time of year again: time to start thinking about Back To School! The time when the dorm assignments flow in and you start mentally decorating your new room. When you start packing and having late-night Gchats with your friends about your first Welcome Week party. When you start searching Amazon for the cheapest books you can find and, more importantly, your go-to comfort pieces for the season.
