An Open Letter to Jimmy Fallon
Dear Jimmy, Jimbo, J-dog, JF, Big night ahead of you tomorrow, huh? You’ve really made it in the entertainment world now. You slipped into the spotlight when no one was looking and you almost made everyone forget about the Taxi movie.
Saturday Read: Packing for Mars, by Mary Roach
Anyone who reads my posts knows that I’m a fiend for science non-fiction. I know it sounds scary, but I’m not reading “A Brief History of Time,” although I sometimes toy with the idea. My science is fresh, fun and most importantly, SO interesting! Even if you’re not a biology major, you will love books like Mary Roach’s.

From CollegeFashion: For the Love of Cross Body Bags
Though I’m usually into spacious oversized bags, minimalist-inspired cross body bags have been on my radar for the past few months. Cross body bags are great for those times when you don’t need or want to carry a ton of stuff with you–think simple shopping trips, nights out, or house parties. And since you have to fit all of your things into that tiny space, you’ll make sure to pack only the essentials, right?
Candy Dish: How is She Still So Cool?
• She’s the ultimate alternative beach babe

• He’s more talented than you
• Clothes for a cause (and an excuse to spend more $$)
• Bad sex advice at the car wash
• Well that was painful for no reason
• 5 albums you need to listen to NOW
Weekly Wrap Up: Is It Time For Jeggings and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes Yet?
Finally, the end of summer is almost here and I couldn’t be happier. Humidity is no longer taunting the frizzy mess on my head and suddenly all my taste buds can think about is one of those pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks (accompanied by a Pumkin Loaf).
Gossip Cheat Sheet: Uh-Oh, LiLo’s Loose!
Ahh finally some buzz among the Hollywood hills! The past few weeks have been a bit dull, but now we’re back in action. Elin and Tiger are officially dunzo, Lindsay Lohan is a free woman, and Heidi Montag has sex tapes! It’s been an eventful week, but thank goodness because I was running out of things to talk about!
Single. And Liking a Boy
I have never understood how some girls get so nervous around boys they’re crushing on. I’d never experienced it personally… until not. And wow, I really don’t like this feeling!

The Booty Call Goes Mobile
We can now update everyone on our every move, tag our friend’s locations on Facebook, tweet out photos of our dinner while we’re eating them, and make kissy faces to ourselves in the mirror and post them on our Myspace INSTANTANEOUSLY. It’s safe to say technology has gotten completely out of control.
The ABC’s Of Getting “A”s and “B”s
In elementary school all that was required of us to get decent grades was coloring inside the lines. Middle school and high school introduced to the word “studying” and, soon after, a genuine dislike for the word. But college is where the work is no joke. The classes are hard. The workload is heavy. And the social scene is exploding. So how does a college girl stay on top of it all?
Budget Stylista: Skip The Jeans and Opt for a Denim Dress
Look, I love the denim/chambray shirt as much as the next person who inhales everything the fashion magazines offer up, but sometimes I feel a little bit like one of the characters from Hey Dude when I try to pull it off with a pair of jeans.
WTF Friday: Japanese Commerical Entertains and Horrifies
Sexy can I. This is argument for gaining weight if I’ve seen one. How else will you pull off this costume for Halloween?
Friends Don’t Let Friends Hook Up Drunk?
Imagine this scenario: You and your lady friends have finally finished the hell that is finals week and you are going out to party (read: get mind-numbingly drunk) at your favorite college bar. You’re having the time of your life, screaming out Miley Cyrus lyrics into your friends’ faces, pinky-swearing that you’ll all go streaking later, dancing on table tops, demanding a ginger ale, forgetting about it as soon as you ordered it, and, last but not least, sharing cute glances with the heartthrob from class last semester
Friday Faves: Average Sex – Everybody’s Doing It
My mother (yes, my mother) once told me that if there aren’t fireworks between the sheets, it’s just not meant to be. I immediately dismissed this advice, partly because it meant my menopausal mother was having better sex with my overweight father than I was with my supposedly sexually prime bedmate. But mostly, I rejected this theory because I didn’t, and still don’t, think its entirely true.
