Robotripping, Four Loko, and Other Ridic Ways College Kids Get Messed Up
It’s not difficult to get messed up in college. Keg shells line frat house walls and liquor seems to flow freely from faucets, available whenever the time feels right. Yet, students continuously resort to more creative techniques to make their heads spin. Why?
Friday Faves: Biggest Bar Night of the Year. Nope! It’s Not Deja Vu
Welcome home for Thanksgiving! Where the lines at the bar are ridiculous, the drinks can’t come fast enough, and while you think it’s deja vu you’ve got going on – you actually ARE having the same 3-minute conversation with blasts from your not-so-distant past over and over and over.

Duke It Out: Black Friday
Next Friday marks the start of the holiday shopping season with the single most anticipated shopping day of the year here in the good ol’ USA – Black Friday. A day when stores mark down items to ludicrous sale prices and people all over the nation line up in the early dawn hours to snag those bargains (and occasionally trample their fellow human beings).

The Secret To Why Guys Act The Way They Do
Since I started coaching college women, I feel like I am living in a world of stories about drunken hook-ups, walks of shame and disappointment. Understand, I am not judging AT ALL. Hooking-up is part of the college culture and can be a lot of fun.
Fashion Porn: Winter Coats
Now is probably one of the best times of the year to think about buying a winter coat. It’s before the first I’m-so-freaking-cold-why-haven’t-I-bought-a-new-coat day, but after stores have brought out loads of coats – and even marked some down! If you’re in need of a new coat this year (or just want something that doesn’t say North Face on the shoulder), Thanksgiving is the perfect time to pick one up.

Signs You Need To Get Out More
You’re in the thick of it now. The dreary time after fall foliage and before festive February threats of snow days (that, of course, rarely come to fruition). The sky’s gray, the grass is brown, and it’s really effing cold out there. I know the temptation is there to hide away under your coziest comforter with the first season of The Vampire Diaries on DVD, getting up only to run to the bathroom and occasionally swipe on a little deodorant.

The air is crisp, the dorms are abuzz with “I’m going home!” and my suitemate and I are—feverish. Literally.
The Know: The Best Scented Candles Around
There is something about this time of year that makes me want to make a hot cup of tea, grab a fresh baked cookie (and by fresh baked I mean a fresh baked cookie from the store, obvs), curl up with a warm blanket a good book/movie/Jersey Shore marathon and light a yummy candle.
Thanksgiving Dinner Will Wreak Havoc on Your Waistline
Ah, Thanksgiving. A time to seriously over-indulge in some delish foods without feeling like a total piggy. A time to eat until you can’t button your pants anymore. A time when the leftovers are better than the original.
The History of Makeup [INFOGRAPHIC]
As many of us rush to get ready in the morning, we usually don’t give our mascara or blush a second thought. Well, beyond avoiding clumpage and blending it in so we don’t look like we’re getting ready for a dance recital.
