The Super Bowl of Drinking Games

Tomorrow, February 6th, 2011, all American eyes will be glued to their television sets, but not everyone will be so into the game. Maybe it’s because football isn’t their thing or maybe it’s because they wagered way too much money in the puppy bowl and are now majorly stressed. Whatever the reason, no one should be left out on all the Super Bowl Sunday fun. So put all those free beers at the Super Bowl party to use and let’s get hammered play a drinking game!

For those who know next to nothing about football or how it’s played, this is a great way to learn.

Here’s how it’s done:
Everyone split up into teams (Packers and Steelers are playing, for those who are aren’t in the know). Next, everyone pick a player on the offense that they’ll be representing. I totally call Aaron Rodgers! Yum. Basically, every time your player does something good you take a drink. Every time your player or team screws up, you drink more.

Drink assignments are as follows (and if you don’t know what these things are, ask the least judgmental person at the party to explain it. Or at the very least have that person tell you when to drink): Read More »


Outfits Under $100: 5 Easy, Fashionable Looks for Class

[The following post is courtesy of the girls at CollegeFashion.net!]

We’re back to the daily grind of classes, homework and campus activities. Along with acing tests and keeping to deadlines, one new semester resolution to add to your list is dressing well for class.

Sure, it seems frivolous, but the truth is that when you’re dressed nicely, you feel more confident, and that attitude extends to everything you do. Maybe you’ll have that extra nerve to raise your hand in class, give a great presentation or talk to the cutie sitting next to you. Don’t underestimate the power of dressing for success.

Of course, when you roll out of bed to make it to an 8 a.m. after pulling an all-nighter, fashion can be the last thing on your mind. And sometimes the only thing you crave as you venture out into the January chill is a cozy sweatshirt. But comfort and convenience don’t mean sacrificing style; if you plan ahead and get creative with styling, you can go to class in outfits that are both comfy and fashionable. Read More »

Single Girl Society: He Wasn’t That Great

In the last year, it seems as though being single has been my specialty. While flings and hookups have come and gone (pun intended) and dates have left me with some less than desirable memories, my current single status has remained loyally by my side. I’ve learned a lot in the past year and I’ve discovered that single girls around the world are all in the same fabulous pair of shoes.

So if you’re sick of sitting at a table for one, eating a meal portioned for two, I cordially invite you to join The Single Girl Society, where being single is more than status, it’s a lifestyle. Of course, with everything in life, the single girl lifestyle comes with rules and I’ve picked up quite a few along the way. So kick back, grab a drink and let the lessons I’ve learned serve as your very own roadmap to transitioning to and enduring the single life

Lesson 10: He wasn’t that great.

I cant tell you how many times my friends have exclaimed to me over cocktail-induced tears that the cant believe they’re not with their ex-boyfriends, because and I quote, “He was so great!”

Why is that our post relationship-blinders have gotten us confused as we choose to see only the good in past relationships that we hope will one day become revived relationships?

Newsflash girls, he wasn’t that great.

I’m all for healing and sticking by your single sisters (it is a rule, after all!) as they take on the grueling task of being heartbroken, but that doesn’t mean we should put our exes on a pedestal. Why? Because they’re our exes! Read More »


Your Go-To Guide for Super Bowl XLV

If you are anything like 99.9% of your fellow Americans, you know that this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday has transcended beyond merely a football game to decide which team is the champion of the NFL and has turned into a de facto American holiday. This makes sense seeing as Super Bowl Sunday combines the best characteristics from our favorite holidays: there is more drinking than Cinco de Mayo, more American pride than Fourth of July, more food (pizza, chicken wings and chips anyone?) than Thanksgiving and having your team play in the game can be a better gift than anything you could find under your tree on Christmas morning.

Some of us watch the game because we are die-hard football fans and some will simply tune in to judge the commercials (which cost a cool $3 million for 30 seconds). Whichever category you fall into, you’ll need to know what’s going on. And I’m here to help!

This is your quick go-to guide for everything you need to know about this year’s Super Bowl matchup: the teams, the players to watch, and fun factoids you can use to impress people over nachos. Eat up! Read More »


Politicians’ Children Speak Out: Should We be Listening?

If I was taught anything in my high school etiquette class (true story) besides which fork to use for which course, I was taught that there are two subjects you should never bring up: religion and politics. And since I’m still a little fuzzy on the whole spoon thing I figure why not break another one of those rules.

Let’s talk about politics, ladies.

Or maybe something slightly more relevant to us: politicians and their children.

The daughters of today’s politicians always seem to have their own agendas; messages they want to spread, campaigns they want to share, insider accounts of the campaign trail. It’s like because we’ve elected their parents (or rather because their parents want us to elect them) it automatically gives them the right to speak out on a whole bunch of issues they may or may not know anything about.

And I’m not sure exactly where I stand on this whole thing. Because while I know I could really do without ever hearing about Megan McCain’s “blogette” or reading Dirty, Sexy, Politics, some politicians’ daughter might actually be worth listening to.

Well…not this one.

Budget Stylista: Blizzard Chic

If you live anywhere north of Florida, chances are you’ve had to deal with snow this year. I wouldn’t even bat an eyelash if tomorrow the weather folks announced that even our Florida friends were going to get hit with a version of SnOMG . And total side note, apparently we are all VERY excited about the Blizzards of 2011. People on Facebook are eager to come up with their very clever play on words – Snowtorious BIG, Snobama, The Snowtuation?!. It’s like we’ve never even seen this white powdery stuff we call snow before.

But I get it. The weather has been bat sh*t crazy. And totally unpredictable. Sort of like your emotions right around your period. And even though Thundersnow is a fun word to say (especially when said like this: THUNDERSNOOOOOW!!!!) the very cold truth is that actually walking around in Thundersnow is the opposite of fun.

So I figured, what better way to help you prepare to brave the elements than with a way to stay warm yet look cool. Now you can throw a snowball, sip a hot cocoa or trudge through 12 feet of snow and look fabu all at the same time! Read More »


WTF Friday: Justin Bieber Has a Feature Film? [Exclusive Video!]

Don’t get us wrong, we already have tickets, an outfit picked out (purple hoodie!!) and glitter all over our hands from our “Bieber Fever” poster, but WTF? When we were 16 (with braces, crop tops and really puffy hair) you couldn’t pay us to get near a camera, and this kid has an IMAX biopic?!


What’s the Dumbest Tech Questions Your Parents Have Ever Asked?

Parents sure can be dumb when it comes to technology. They’re like a step above your toddler cousin putting bagels in the DVD player.

So this week we posed the question to our Facebook fans, “What’s the dumbest computer/Facebook/tech question your parents have ever asked you?”

And here are our favorite responses:

“I definitely got asked by my grandfather how to make something vertically below another in a list on a Word document. Apparently, my grandpa has never met the Enter key…” – Ashton Anderson

“does “LOL” mean “lots of love?” – Shannon Byrne

“Look my phone guesses what I’m texting to you.  in reference to T9 in 2010.” - Sarah Bilger

“Why are they trying to sell me dick-sucking lips? (In response to a DSL ad.)” – Christina Bischoff
