Bachelor Recap: Brad’s Had Therapy. Lots of It
So did you hear? Brad Womack’s been doing a bit of soul searching. And if you tuned in to last night’s Bachelor season premiere, you definitely got the message…about a thousand times. When Chris Harrison and Brad himself weren’t rejoicing over such a changed man, his therapist even gave a testament to how much effort has been put into this redemption project.

Is Community College the Better Option?
When it came time to pick a college, most of the guidance counselors at my high school pointed students in the direction of the local community college. Like most of my friends, however, I ignored that lady with the mustache and took my pretty little butt to a big, 4-year university.
We’ve All Been There: New Year, New Me
You had good intentions. Sitting in your childhood bedroom for the 19th consecutive day, eating homemade cookies courtesy of your mom, with nothing stressing you out or occupying your time, you started thinking ahead to 2011. It’s a new year, you tell yourself, a new decade. There’s no better time to make some changes and improve upon yourself.
Who’s Who: The Ladies of The Bachelor
After three long weeks of reading books, working out and learning how to knit (er….OK, so I was watching RHOBH reruns…), quality TV is BACK. And not only are we getting our old faves back this week (Modern Family, Community, RHOBH), we’re getting some major premieres, too. Yes, THE BACHELOR IS BACK!
Shop Your Closet: Shawl-Collar Sweater
If you made a New Year’s Resolution to wear sweatpants less, it’s time to start finding alternatives that are just as easy to wear and comfortable. Not possible, you say? Well listen up, woman! That cozy, warm, comfy feeling you get with sweats can be mimicked with a warm sweater, such as a shawl-collared pullover.
Greek Returns: Remind Yourself Where We Left Off
One of the not so great things about the holiday season is the lack of good TV. Their logic is (or at least I think this is what it is) that we’ll all be too busy singing Christmas carols, buying presents, and getting drunk to even think about our favorite shows. So they just play reruns. But they couldn’t have been more wrong, and that’s why I’m extra excited about Greek’s winter premiere tonight.

7 Ways College Must Have Been Different When Cellphones Didn’t Exist
Nowadays, pretty much everyone has a cell phone. And if you don’t, I’m going to assume that you’re my grandma and say congrats for figuring out how to sign on the World Wide Web. Cell phones have become a such a big part of our lives that we view them as another body part.
The Body Blog: Quick and Efficient Exercises
We are busy girls, no doubt. But being busy is never a good excuse for skipping out on a workout. Not only is it BS (you could spend a little less time shopping online, you know), but it’s just not good for you. And you are gonna feel really crappy later when your body turns to mush and you can’t play Rock Band without breaking a sweat.

The Weekly Ten: New Year’s Resolutions You Can Keep
It’s a new year, and you know what that means; it’s time to start working on those New Year’s resolutions. But before you start jotting down those promises take a minute and really think about this. New Year’s resolutions almost always involve giving something up, and making sacrifices. And that negative approach makes you all the less likely to keep them.
Sundays Are For Procrastinating
You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate.
5 Easy Ways to Keep Your Roommate Happy
Living with friends is fun and there’s (almost) never a dull moment. There’s no awkward “Hi, I’m Alex” stage where you don’t know really how to act around your new roommate and none of that awkward/hesitant asking “if it’s okay if your roommate, you know, turns off the lights because it’s four in the morning, maybe.” But with any roommate no matter if she’s a friend or random, disaster strikes because you left your hairbrush out for the third time in a row.
