The 8 Most Annoying Things on Campus [GALLERY]
Compared with the grind of the working world, college is a pretty cushy experience. Still, not everything on campus is as rosy as the tour guides would have you believe. Despite its many opportunities, student life is fraught with frustrating rules and limitations.

The Morning After: I Kissed a Freshman…The Saga Continues
So one time I hooked up with a freshman. And I liked it. But I knew (or thought) it would be a one time thing. Kind of like drinking a Venti before rush-hour was a one-time thing. Or shamelessly Googling pictures of Zac Efron.
Intro to Cooking: Five-Alarm Chili
You’re probably acquainted with the certain level of poverty that comes with being a student—let’s face it, as collegians, we’re not exactly whipping up filet mignon each night. The rice and beans diet is a rite of passage among us (which, I might add, I actually enjoy a lot).
CC Beauty Live: Grease Isn’t The Word
Greasy or oily hair is an absolute pain and if it’s something you struggle with, you are not alone. I have a lot of friends that ask me what they can do to avoid oily hair, and one very tress-stressed reader begged for help as well. This is a topic plaguing a lot of young women (and dudes!), but don’t worry – you can fix it!
One Month Challenge: Gone Meatless, Week 4
Okay, so it’s been kind of a busy fall season so far, and I haven’t had a ton of time (read: any time where I wasn’t either studying or drinking) to call home (delinquent daughter… whoops!). Anyway, my family had no idea that I was going meatless for a month, and I just mentioned it in passing to my mom on the phone, and she laughed. She thought I was joking.

Liq-Or-Treat: Halloween Drinking Games
We might be too old to go door-to-door and ask strangers for candy… but we’re not too old to dress up as slutty versions of our favorite childhood fairy tales characters, animals, or public service workers, are we? Besides, if we’re struggling to pay $49.99 for a “Sexy Bull Fighter” costume, dammit, we want to get the most bang for our buck!
Now Showing: Paranormal Activity 2
I slept with the lights on after a midnight showing of Paranormal Activity 2, which is saying a lot for a movie that I went into with “Whip My Hair” stuck in my head beforehand. For a long time, I had been predicting that the follow up to last year’s Paranormal Activity would be a more corny, overdone version of the first film (which I loved, even if it made my cry).
From CollegeFashion: Style a Pair of High-Top Sneakers
Once reserved for hipsters or basketball players, high-top sneakers are on their way to making a full-fledged comeback on college campuses. I was hesitant to buy a pair at first, but when I spotted the perfect pair of black, yellow, and pink Nike Dunks on sale at an outlet mall, I knew I had to have them!

Weekly Wrap Up: Approach Me!
Thanks to this whole 5-day dating challenge, I’ve had a pretty tiring week….and my still cheeks hurt from smiling all the time. But no pain no gain, right? And by “gain” I mean “guys approaching me and offering to buy me drinks.”
