According to our friends at The Huffington Post, the prices of dorm living are getting absolutely ridiculous. The highest right now is going for over seventeen grand at The New School! I don’t know about you, but when I think of dorm living, I imagine cramped quarters, worn carpeting, and communal bathrooms – nothing worth spending a year’s salary on. (And as an aspiring writer, that’s most def a year’s salary.)

With that being said, if I’m shelling out that kind of cash for a room in a dorm, I’m getting diva-esque.

Check out my list of non-negotiable demands:

1. Mini-bar: Yes, I want it fully stocked. All the time. Basically someone is going to have to come in and refill it every few days (when there’s food involved, I work quickly). We’re talking Swiss chocolates, French cheese, and Russian libations. And you better believe that a bottle of bubbly needs to make its way in there for special occasions.

2. Personal washer and dryers: If I’m paying big money, I want luxury. For some reason, hauling a trash bag full of dirty delicates doesn’t fit in with my picture of luxury. Oh and they better have a quiet spin cycle, because I have to study.

3. Floor chefs: Just for the days when I’m too tired to walk to the dining hall. Each floor needs its own cook – preferably someone who is well versed in the art of sushi rolling. However I’m open to all culinary specialties, I’m not a brat.

4. Big screen TV: Complete with all cable channels. (I can’t be watching Entourage on my laptop!)

Hi Dude,

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year. He was my best friend in the entire world for about 3 years before we started dating, and he means the world to me. But since I started college about 3 months ago, things have been getting really hard.

I go to a public university about an hour and a half away from my home town, and he’s in community college. And lately it seems like whenever we talk, I end up feeling guilty that I’m the one that away “living the college life” while he’s at home. And so, to make up for that, we’ve been visiting each other a lot. So much, that I see him almost every weekend, and about half of the time, that includes me going home. But as everything stands currently, I don’t feel like I’m really in college. I feel like I’m straddling two worlds and it hurts.

I love my boyfriend to death, but I don’t think I can go on seeing him with this much frequency if I am to get the most out of my four years. But every time I try to bring it up, he takes it as a sign that I’m giving up on our relationship. I don’t want to let him go, but I don’t know what to do.

Help?

The CMAs are on ABC tonight at 8 P.M and we’re so pumped to watch it, we’re doing hayrides around the office. Not a country fan? Think again. We have 10 reasons on why you absolutely must watch the 2010 Country Music Awards tonight.

1. THE FASHION! The fashion. I’ll say it again. The CMA fashion! We’re bouncing out of our seats as we think of all the overalls, the dungarees, and the cowboy hats that will be present on stage tonight. Fingers crossed we see some authentic dung-covered cowboy boots go down the red carpet.

2. In the market for a new truck that can go off-roading AND get your kids to soccer practice on time? Look no further because it appears that the Chevy Silverado is sponsoring the show. Finally. A commercial we can’t wait to see over and over and over again. I’m getting excited just thinking about it.

3. Babygurl Tay Swifts is one of the few country crossover stars so she’s going to get a lot of camera time tonight. And if her PR people planned it just right, Jakey will be by her side for every camera shot. Because they’re TOTALLY together. Everyone knows that right!?! They’re dating. America’s newest sweethearts — and soon to be Taylor’s newest revenge song inspiration. Yay for love.

4. OMG. I’m freaking out. The shows is being hosted by Carrie Underwood and BADASS Brad Paisley (yeah we have NO idea who that is either).

5. Modern Family isn’t on tonight. So really there’s nothing else to watch besides this. And in case you’ve been studying and skipping your tabloid reading you know that country legend and creepy father of the year Billy Ray Cyrus is getting divorced. So there’s going to be a whole other kinda of family dysfunction going down.

Is it just me or is there another “revolutionary” new makeup product introduced every freaking day?! Just walking into Ulta or Sephora (or even Walgreens!) sends many chicas into fits of hysteria, reaching for the nearest brown bag to regulate their breathing. It’s all so overwhelming.

So how can you know which product – among the sea of thousands – is the best? Which does what you need it to do? Which ones are worth the extra money? Let me help. I don’t know every beauty product out there, but I’ve tested a lot of them and I’ll let you know which are worth the money and which are not.

(Disclaimer: This product was provided to me for review purposes)

What it is: theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer

Why this should be in your bag
I feel like I should explain the joke right off the hop, so no one is confused. It’s read Mary “Luminizer” – ha ha ha. Okay, now that we’ve all realized what this product is, let’s get to reviewing.

theBalm is a cool, hip makeup company that reminds me of Benefit. They put a lot of effort into their packaging and marketing, but also, their makeup! Trust me, their concealer is holy grail material.

I think a luminizer is the perfect way to spice up any makeup routine. It adds an ethereal glow to your face which makes you look fresher and much more put together. I’ve come across plenty of liquid luminizer (like ones from e.l.f. and Benefit), but I’ve yet to try a powder one like Mary-Lou Manizer! Read More »

The following is a guest post by our (nerdy yet totally helpful) friends at Hack College. Check ‘em out for all your techy needs. They’re like the nerdy boyfriend you never had but always needed.

When the hell did November get here? That is what I want to know. Seriously, just yesterday I was telling y’all how to prepare your brains for August and get back into the school mode. And now it’s November. How did that happen and how can I make it stop?

Well, okay, so I can’t stop the furious, oncoming train that is November. I also can’t stop December, with all of its final papers and exams and projects, from hurtling right after it. You might be thinking, “Don’t be silly. December is an entire month away! I have a whole other month before I have to start worrying about things like that. I’m not gonna worry about that ’til after Thanksgiving.”

That is where you are wrong. Let me break this down for you. Including this week, there are two more weeks until Thanksgiving. Exams start a week and a half after Thanksgiving break. Can you study for all of your exams, write multiple 15-page papers, and put together various end-of-the-semester projects in a week in a half?

Answer: no.

The solution to this post-Thanksgiving crunch is to use these two weeks that we are given to start planning ahead for finals season. I know, it may seem excessive. But if you put off preparation for your end -of-the-year work until right before or even after Thanksgiving break, you will have wished you used that two week grace period to do some of that work. Trying to organize the next month of your academic life is daunting to say the least. But with a few tips, you should at least create yourself a nice cushion of accomplished work to allow you to not completely lose your mind in the post-Thanksgiving crunch. Read More »

It’s officially fall. It’s officially cold (boo) and it’s officially pumpkin season (yay!). Sure Halloween has come and gone but now that there is no longer a need to save pumpkins for carving… we can EAT them!

Sure we all know about the typical pumpkin staples – pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes and the like – but there’s a whole lot more you can do with those giant, orange orbs. So here is a list of our top 15 favorite ways to eat a pumpkin. Read More »

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like the sexiest mom alive, Halle Berry) are spending $5,000 on an ensemble you don’t have to.]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. If her incredibly gorgeous-yet-pretentious name doesn’t sound familiar to you yet, it will be by next summer. She is taking over Megan Fox’s role as the “scantily-clad hot girl who shrieks and makes out with Shia LaBeouf” in the next Transformers movie (yes, ANOTHER one).

She also works as a Victoria’s Secret angel and as the current face of Burberry. So she’s basically the latest in a line of pretty girls who get paid to be pretty. I can’t help but like her for that reason alone.

No, that’s a total lie. I also like her because her personal style is so elegant, classic, trendy, and fabulous. Read More »
