8 Under $20: Bring On The End of Summer Sale(s)
Although the end of summer means the end of many good things in life (i.e. slip n’ slides, lemonade stands, dunk tanks, debating the possibility of frying an egg on your driveway…), the end of summer also means the beginning of something brand new. Something fresh and exciting. Something every style-hungry college girl craves out there…
OMFG. Did We Almost Lose Paris Hilton Last Night?
Y’all, someone up and tried to kill Paris Hilton! Tell me what depraved soul would do a thing like that!!

The Post-Grad Journey: Romancing the LSAT
I officially started my LSAT journey seven weeks ago, and as I write this, I’m anxiously and nervously awaiting my latest prep test score. Although I knew studying for the LSAT would require an immeasurable amount of hard work, I had no clue exactly how frustrating the process would be from time to time.
Tuffy Luv Gives You a Bag O’ Confidence
Dear Tuffy Luv, So I have been with my boyfriend for two years, and we were best friends for four years before that. I love him very much and I can’t imagine being with any other guy. But lately (read: the past year and a half) I have felt that he is slowly losing the feelings he’s had for me in the past. It’s just the way he acts when we go out.
Roommate Selection Goes All EHarmony
Trending on campuses all over the country are websites that allow you to cherry pick the “perfect” roommate. Gone are the days where the punky goth ends up living with the preppy, bubbly cheerleader. No longer will the study bug bunk with the party animal. The revolution is upon us, and now you can select your own freshman fate.
Maxim Says the Darndest Things: September Edition
There it was, hiding behind a few GQ magazines on the top shelf in a florescent lit aisle of Target. I stood on my tippy toes and extended my arm to reach for the red letters and glossy pages of Maxim. And as I lifted the thin magazine by its pages and into my view, my mouth dropped and a sourpuss equal to those of Sammi Sweetheart washed over my face. Why, you ask?

The Bachelor Pad: Awkward City
Yesterday was a busy day for me. I worked, I went to the dentist (and discovered I have 2 cavities….awesome), I worked out, and then I came home to settle in and watch a little Bachelor Pad (though, my friends all thought I was working more; I don’t need to hear their judgments about how I spend my evenings).

The Clothes Don’t Always Make the Man (Or the Woman). But Sometimes They Can Help
Confession time: I’m a shopaholic. Bags are my weakness. So are boots. I’m obsessed with dark washed jeans and oversize sunglasses and Rachel Bilson’s entire wardrobe.
Get Off Facebook and Help the Pakistan Flood Victims
While you’ve been stressing over extra-long sheets and we’ve been hurriedly preparing you for another back-to-school season, the people of Pakistan have had an entirely different set of worries to contend with. 20 million of the country’s citizens have been affected and 1,600 have been killed by the horrific floods that have been destroying homes and displacing families for weeks now.
August Madness: I Love the ’90s Final Round
Over the past month, we’ve been narrowing down the best of the best of our favorite decade and we’ve had the tough job of saying goodbye to some of our personal favorites: Skip-its, Dunkaroos, Super Nintendo, the Olsen Twins, and every blogger’s original writing tool, the gel pen. And now, we’re down to the FINAL TWO: Cory and Topanga VS. The Spice Girls.
Wardrobe Wish List: Anthropologie’s D’Armee Dress
Military-inspired clothing is one of the biggest trends for fall, and while I’m not opposed to the idea, I am having a hard time picturing it fitting into my wardrobe. The trend is so tough and structured that it’s hard to imagine it meshing well with my girly floral dresses or my rocker-chick leather boots (which have enough tough all on their own).
The Clairvoyant Class: Predict the Future from Your First Day
We all know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but let’s face it, half of us do it anyway. Plus, judging by appearance and prior knowledge does sometimes work. (Example: M. Night Shyamalan movies…)
Goodbye, Parents! Seriously, Get Out
s an upperclassman, your parents have probably learned the ropes by now. They call when they know you’re going to be sober, and you call when you need your debit card refilled. The youngins, on the other hand, have yet to teach their folks these difficult lessons. Forget that they have to deal with Mom checking in at 7:30 on a hungover Sunday morning.
Body Blog: Do This One Thing
The beginning of another school year sneaked up on us, along with an opportunity to meet new people, join new clubs and do better in our classes (okay well I like to tell myself this, at least). Unfortunately, it’s also the perfect opportunity to gain weight via late night pizza runs and all you can eat dining halls.
