Put This On Your iPod: Social Network Soundtrack
Anybody else out there already having to read volumes upon volumes for their classes? WTF? It’s only the second week back, professors! Can’t a girl catch a little post-break break? Le sigh.
In Our Makeup Bag: BECCA Fallen Angel Palette
One of makeup’s biggest mysteries is which lipsticks and lipglosses go together. Often, I think two colors will be complementary, but once I get them home and try them on, they couldn’t be farther from “matching”. BECCA has created a foolproof palette that contains a dual lip & cheek creme and lipgloss in matching shades, and they’ve also tossed in a highlighter, so your lip and cheek looks are completely covered.

This Post-Grad Life: A Mid-Life Crisis at Twenty Three
I graduated ~~a decade~~ nine months ago. In Hollywood years, that’s about five. I could have popped out a set of twins with Charlie Sheen by now, or at least put myself on Teen Mom and physically abused my crack head baby daddy.
Celebrate Australia Day With Our Favorite Aussies [GALLERY]
Look, I’m all about being an American, but if there’s one other place on this planet I’d want to live, it’s Australia. Not only is the country beautiful, but it’s given us KugelHopf, a Mary Kate and Ashley movie, Kangaroos and, of course, some very delicious eye candy.
The State of the Union: I’m Proud to be an American
President Obama gave his second State of the Union address last night, and ooooo-weeee was it good. No matter how you feel about the man, it’s impossible to deny that his oratory skills are a huge part of what got him where he is today. In my opinion, last night’s speech didn’t disappoint.
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Reese Witherspoon is Comfy and Cozy
Reese Witherspoon has been flying under the radar for awhile. I hate to think her time has passed, but lately, I haven’t been super compelled to see any of her projects (and apparently I’m not alone, if the performance of her latest flick “How Do You Know” is any indication…)

Web Spy: Stingy Campus
Winter Break is awesome: there are no tests to study for, you get to spend time with your friends and family, and you can get lots of sleep. The worst part of Winter Break, however, is that it just seems to go by too quickly. Sooner than you probably want to think about, you’ll have to start getting ready for next semester by buying books, registering for classes and moving back in to the dorms.

Greek Speak: If We Knew Then What We Know Now…
I made a lot of mistakes my first year of college (and based on some of the Morning After stories I’ve been reading on here, I know I’m not alone). But of all the dumb things I did – hooking up with my next door neighbor during Welcome Week, setting my alarm wrong for my first midterm, gorging myself on Indian Night in the caf (ugh) – my biggest regret involves sorority rush.
8 Under $20: Cute Winter Hats [GALLERY]
I know winter break just ended and we’re all falling back into our usual school routines, but I know I’m not the only one out there who can’t wait for summer. I miss long, carefree days at the beach, where thoughts of school and work are miles away and where I can go makeup-free and let my hair air-dry in the warm sun.
Who Won’t Be Thanking the Academy This Year
The Oscar nominations are in. And the claws are out.
Once the Academy Award nominations are public knowledge you expect there to be gossip, some hurt feelings, some angry fans, and some shocked directors. But this year, things have gone a little too far.
He Said/She Said: Does Your “Number” Matter?
There are a lot of important numbers in college girls’ life – phone numbers, number of times you been Facebook-tagged in an outfit, number of times you’ve considered dropping out of college, the number of calories in your next late-night study sesh meal. But there’s one number in particular that’s bound to stir up a commotion, whether it’s zero or in the double digits: The number of people you’ve had sex with.
