8 Under $20: J. Crew’s Having a Sale
One of my favorite places to shop before school is J.Crew. Everything about it is sophisticated, fresh and fabulous.

He is featured on the cover, kneeling suggestively on one knee sporting military fatigues and a guido pout.
The Post-Grad Journey: The Hollywood Manual
Life obviously does not come with an instruction manual, and I’ll be the first to admit – sometimes I wish it did. When I went off to college, I knew it would take awhile to learn the ins-and-outs of living on campus, actively learning, and partying like a rock star, but it didn’t take me long to learn how to be what I like to call a “professional college student,” fulfilling all the duties and stereotypes known to man. It was easy. Post-grad though, well, it’s just a little more complicated.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Shlong Shlistance
Dear Tuffy Luv, I’ll start off this email saying you must get hundreds of these, but even if this isn’t featured in the site, I really would just love advice. I’ve heard people say that asking for advice is just asking for someone to tell you a truth you don’t want to admit to yourself, but I honestly have no idea what to do.
Zac Bissonnette Explains How To Get Through College Debt-Free

6 Applications That Have Changed the Dating World
What happened to the days when the most intense things to happen in a relationship was a game of Twister? Oh my goodness, Mary is practically on top of Bobby! Scandalous! OK, maybe I’m being a little over-dramatic. But, dating throughout the years has definitely changed. And one of the underlying factors for the dating transformation? Technology.

Stop With the Nicknames, Sweetheart
A new study has found that women get royally pissed when they’re given a nickname in the office. No, they’re not talking about that time your boss got drunk at the holiday party and called you Tits McGee. The names included on the no-no list ranged from the benign “kiddo” to the slightly more (okay, a lot more) bizarre “poppet”.
We’ve All Been There: Move-in Day
After a long drive and an even longer wait to get a prime spot by the curb, you get out of the car (where you were pressed between the door and a chest of plastic drawers for the past three hours) and start unloading your life onto the sidewalk.
Sign Off and Get Some Shut Eye!
It’s no secret that we live in a technology-obsessed age. Smart phones dominate our lives, laptops are constantly…on our laps, and a few hours sans wireless scares us more than the recession. Although they’ve all made life undeniably cushy, they’ve also impinged upon a practice that is absolutely essential for our mental and physical health
Shop Your Closet: Military Jackets
When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it). 2. A major lack of storage space.
For these two reasons alone, maximizing what you do own becomes essential.
