Gossip Cheat Sheet: Turning Over A New Leaf
Leave it to our favorite celebrities to keep giving us more. It seems everything happens at the same time after a dull week and frankly we were overwhelmed just going through it all. This week we’ve had some break ups, an engagement, and a possible escape. We can always rely on Hollywood to give us something to talk about. What else is new?
My Life As…A Commuter Student
I am a commuter student. It’s a statement I’ve had to reiterate more times than I can count during the last four years. It’s a concept some people just can’t seem to understand.

Want Peace & Quiet? Don’t Move to a College Town
Whether you see it in the movies, hear it from your peers or participate in it yourself, it is a generally understood fact that college students like to party. Some adopt the habit during their first Halloween away from home and hold tightly onto it well into their twenties, while others pick it up only between midterm exams.
Shopping Pink: Cuteness for a Cause
There is no shortage the pink goodness to go around this month – it seems like everyone’s getting in on the fun (including the NFL!). The best thing about it (besides the fact that every dollar spent helps find a cure, of course) is that a lot of stuff we’d buy anyway is going pink, so it’s never been easier to contribute to the cause.

We’ve all heard of crazy cat ladies, but crazy rat ladies? Yikes.

Friday Faves: Why You Should…Date a Short Guy
It’s a stereotype that’s been pounded into our brains since we were old enough to spend our entire weekends watching Disney movies – your Prince Charming is going to be tall, dark, and handsome. Sounds pretty good, right? Sure…except for all those guys who don’t fit into that category.

Jersey Shore: The Decline of the Scumtuation
Last night’s episode of the Jersey Shore finally put the last nail in the Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino coffin. Oh well, at least he has mad cooking skills to compete in Top Chef. I personally was heartbroken watching him go from house Papa Bear to ultimate entitled creepshow.
Duke It Out: Gay Affirmative Action
When just a couple of decades ago many people couldn’t RISK coming out in college, now schools are trying to recruit applicants from the LGBT community and while I have no qualms about that, I gotta wonder if it’s fair.

From Ice To Nice: The 5 Day Challenge
Ever have that friend that gets approached all the time? Sure, she may be pretty, smart or flirty but for some reason guys flock to her like white on rice. It may you leave you scratching your head and muttering under your breath “what is SO great about her?” You probably have friends that are funnier, smarter and prettier, yet she gets the guys.
Fashion Porn: Hats & Scarves Get Down and Dirty
As temperatures start to drop, and you get to that pesky stage between needing a sweater and needing a jacket, the scarf becomes a key item to fill in. Wrap it around your neck over your favorite cardigan and you’re all set to face the fall chill.
When “Not Interested” Just Isn’t Enough…
Have you ever been at the receiving end of some romantic advances you just weren’t that into? Did you try to throw out subtle clues that “short and middle-aged with two kids and alimony payments” wasn’t your type? Did this dude just not quite get it?
Why Vote? 5 Good Reasons to Hit the Polls
November 2nd is quickly coming. Yep, the Midterm Election — when you get to vote for your favorite Senator, Congressman/Congresswoman, or Governor for your state — is almost here! Although there’s a ton of hype about the election in the news, it often flies over the heads of many college students (and, dare I say, females).
The Know: Let’s Play Beer Pong
I love me a good game of beer pong. I love the comraderie, the competition, the excitement, the way one game turns into twenty and before you know it the beer pong balls are missing and it turns into a big game of flip cup.
