5 Must-Haves for a Good Boyfriend
Sometimes I think we should just rename winter the season of love. When the cold weather comes in, it seems like couples just come out of the woodwork….or snowbanks. Suddenly they are holding hands in every store, making out on the sidewalks, and sharing kisses between sips of coffee at Starbucks.
From CollegeFashion: Stylish Winter Boots For Snow, Slush and Ice
For girls who live or go to school in snowy states, winter provides some unique fashion challenges. One of the biggest dilemmas we face has got to be finding fashionable footwear that keeps us toasty, dry, and slip-free.

Weekly Wrap Up: Whoa! Where did 2010 Go?!
Whether you’re just waking up to the realization that it’s Christmas Eve morning or getting ready to jump in the car with your mother, father, brother, two sisters, and the family dog to head off to dinner, there’s no escaping it: Christmas is upon us!
Single Girl Society: Single Girls Don’t Let Other Single Girls Drink And Text
This past weekend I did something I can never take back. After a record-breaking year-long drunk texting hiatus, I committed my first TUI (texting under the influence) with the help of my old friend SoCo. Liquid courage in one hand and phone in the other at a bar that I used to frequent with my ex, I texted him (typo-free, might I add).

WTF Friday: This Makes Your Family Look Normal
Remember when you were a kid and your mother would round up the family for the yearly Christmas card photo? You probably thought her 80s shoulder pads were bad (since it was 2003 and all), but I guarantee you she’s got nothing on this feisty Mom of the Year.
Friday Faves: Am I Too Picky?
Someone once told me that the reason I’m still single is because my standards are too high. I laughed in her face, flipping through a mental catalog of the disgusting creatures who’ve woken up in my bed. “Au contraire,” I told her. “I think my standards are non existent.”

Christmas is a great holiday. Yes, it’s great for all of you who celebrate it; you get family time, some QT with the big man upstairs and lots of presents. But Christmas is also great for the Jews.

Confessions of an Online Dater
I, Courtney, am an online dater. Many of you probably find this weird considering I’m in college, a place filled with more available men than a single woman could ever dream of, but I’m finding it’s more common than you think. The truth is, people just don’t want to admit it.
Fashion Porn: Statement Skirt Orgy
Dresses are usually the go-to item when getting ready for a night out on the town. And for good reason! They’re cute, they’re sexy and there’s nothing easier than slipping on a dress and some shoes and heading out. But I challenge you to think outside the box a little bit and embrace the shirt and skirt combo. This alternative is far more versatile in that it allows for more choices; you can mix and match tops and skirts to create infinitely more looks.
6 Resolutions Every College Girl Should Make
Am I alone in feeling like New Year’s Resolutions are always the same? You want to lose weight, you decide to keep on top of your class readings…maybe you’re going to take up a new hobby or find a boyfriend. Yaaaaaawn! I think this year you, and the rest of humanity, should take on some serious resolutions.
The Starting Line: Taking Myself Seriously
I’ve decided recently, while lying naked in my bed after a shower (try it—it might just be the greatest thing about being home) that this break is 5% nostalgia, 25% catching some Z’s, 20% eating and 50% flat out weird.
Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About…Kwanzaa
It’s definitely not an obscure holiday. Everyone knows the word (part of a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits”) but it’s not the most mainstream one. Most likely, you didn’t learn about it in school. It didn’t get the Rugrats treatment like Hanukkah or Passover. And since it falls at the end of the year, its significance gets lost in a sea of jingle bells, menorahs and sequins.
MTV’s Controversial New Show
In the past decade, MTV has evolved from a network that aired mostly vapid shows that relate vaguely to music to one that tackles some of the most serious issues facing today’s youth. Often the focus of these programs are controversial in nature: we’ve seen specials on polyamory, cross-dressing, and body dysmorphic disorder.
