Haven’t you heard? Superbowl parties are sooo passé. This year, it’s all about celebrating something way more important: the return of Glee.

Our favorite show is currently on hiatus, but it’ll be back in all its musical glory this Sunday – more specifically, in the highly coveted pre-Superbowl time slot. Glee’s been slackin’ a bit this season, but the next episode should be EPIC. The gang is taking on numbers like “Need You Now” “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Thriller.” I don’t know much about what’s going on plot-wise (all this better be happening, though) but my guess is, it’ll be worth all the effort that goes into throwing a party.

Okay, so if you’re not ready to go out and buy that Glee videogame for your guests to play all day, I suppose I’ll understand. In fact, all you really need for a Glee viewing party is a bunch of friends, an iTunes playlist, a big TV, and – if you’re really trying to channel Rachel – an ugly sweater. Oh, and food is usually a good idea when you have people over. Try these Glee-inspired treats to really make your party a hit.

Cafeteria cuisine doesn’t always match up to mom’s homemade fare — in flavor or nutrition. Companies like Sodexho have goals that include providing healthy meals to students, but the balance between nutritious and delicious isn’t always apparent. Doctoring up your dorm delicacies will save your money and waistline from the dreaded Freshman 15.

How do you turn that cafeteria fare into something edible delicious? I’ve got some ideas that would make even The Barefoot Contessa proud.

(Note: Some of these require a little…erm…smuggling. Grab a Ziploc bag or those Tupperware containers your mom made you buy and load ‘em up in the caf. Then sneak ‘em out and save that stuff for later.)

- Use taco meat or shredded chicken from the Southwestern/Mexican line for midnight nachos. Because of the combination of protein, dairy, and fresh veggies, tacos and nachos can be a balanced alternative to heavier burgers.

- Soak fruit from the salad bar in cheap red wine for a makeshift sangria.

- Toast leftover bagels from breakfast with margarine for a New York style treat. Only eat half, though—one bagel is equivalent to five pieces of bread.

- Make a fun cocktail of different juices from the drink dispenser. My old roommate combined 1/3 cranberry juice, 1/3 apple juice and 1/3 orange juice. Sounds weird, but it worked! (Especially if you sneak that mixture out and throw in some vodka later…) Read More »

Despite having 5 top-ten hits in one year, people constantly hate on pop singer Ke$ha. I hear it all the time: “Ke$ha is awful,” “She’s so gross!” and of course, “What is wrong with that slutty girl?”

While I can understand why some people don’t stand behind her gold tooth, nose ring, obsession with body paint, catchy techno pop beats, and copious amounts of glitter references in her songs, I can’t understand how people (especially college girls) don’t want to dance along with her.

I mean, Ke$ha is the ultimate college girl!

Think about it. Her songs are no different than average college life on a Saturday night, yet people are constantly “offended” or “shocked” by what she sings about. What, you can’t handle a little truth? A look in the mirror? Look past the nappy hair, the record deal, and the dollar sign in her name and Ke$ha is just like you and I.

And if you don’t see that, I’ll break it all down for ya…Ke$ha style. Read More »

It’s not easy choosing a shirt to wear out on a Saturday night. Maybe it doesn’t take you as long as it takes me, but I always try to match my ensemble based on the elements of the evening. Is this a night with the girls or the guys? Bar or club? Dinner or just drinks? The answer to these questions predicts whether I’ll be wearing jeans or a dress, low-cut or conservative, heels or flats, tight or more forgiving leggings. It’s exhausting and always has me running out the door (at least) 10 minutes behind schedule.

And then I found this, a shirt that takes a lot of the guesswork out of getting ready, no matter where I’m headed.

This Lipstick Rosette Lace Tank from Body Central is ideal for a Friday or Saturday (or, uh, any day of the week, really) when you’re headed out for a night on the town. Here’s why:

1. It’s Dark. Once I’ve figured out what’s appropriate for the type of evening I’m setting out for, there are still other factors to consider. It’s important to opt for a dark color, not only because black is wonderfully flattering for any body shape, but at any college party you’re guaranteed to get spilled on. You might not know who did it or where it came from (or you might slip and in the process dump your entire beer on you’re head – trust me, it’s possible) but either way, when it does inevitably happen you don’t want to be the girl in white. Unless you’ve entered a contest that gives prizes for that sort of thing. Read More »

College freshmen are more depressed than ever

Searching the internet for a new and exciting topic for this week’s Sexy Time, I became increasingly more disappointed when I realized that the latest “news” hits for sex studies are really and truly nothing new.

I understand the need for studies, and I understand the need for solid evidence on an issue. But what happened to common sense? What’s happened to listening to doctors and midwives for the last 30 years? I suppose I’m just frustrated, because there are so many things that could be studied about sex, and yet, the top billed news on sexuality is more or less just common sex.

So today, ladies and gentlemen, I bring you “stuff we should’ve already known”:

Sex during pregnancy is A-OK. This is the top billed hit on Google news for sex at the moment, and I can’t help but wonder why this study was necessary in the first place. Perhaps it’s my uncanny interest in pregnancy and birth, but for as long as I can remember it’s been common knowledge that unless you’re high-risk, sex is perfectly fine while you’re pregnant. Hell, does no one recall the awkward sex scene in Knocked Up that features Allison yelling, “the doctor and Debbie said it’s fine!” ?

Regular sex does not make you fat. I guess I never even knew that thinking sex would make you fat was a “thing” to begin with, but as this article points out — no! Regular sex will not make you fat!  Good to know, study, good to know.

Dear Dude,

I’m a college sophomore and still a virgin.  I’ve had my fair share of “almosts” and do enjoy the occasional heavy petting but I have yet to go “all the way.” I’m not waiting for marriage but I am waiting for a serious relationship with someone I can trust. I used to be confident in my decision (I mean, so what?) and felt no pressure to lose my virginity but lately I’ve been feeling like being a virgin is hurting my chances of finding that someone.

The problem is the handful of boys that I’ve started relationships with in college (emphasis on the word started because it never gets very far) initially say they respect the fact that I am a virgin. However, when that boy finds out that I’m REALLY not going to have sex with him (like never, ever) I don’t hear from him again. And when I try to hide the fact that I’m a virgin guys get mad at me for being a “tease” and disappear, too.

So basically I don’t want to lose my virginity because I’m waiting for “the right” relationship but I feel like being a virgin is preventing me from having ANY relationship. It’s a never ending cycle! Everyone around me is telling me to stick it out and wait for “the one,” but the thought of going through my college career without a real relationship is depressing. So dude, why do guys run away when they find out I’m a virgin? How does a virgin get a guy to stick around? Should I just give it up and get it over with? Or should I start filling out applications for the nearest nunnery?

Sincerely,
Not Necessarily DTF Read More »

….OK, so maybe I’m a little biased because my #1 is only number 44 on their list. Or that my idol didn’t even make it on there.

If you hadn’t heard, Askmen.com just came out with their list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women. And from my what I’m seeing (which is a screen full of sexy women….I’m getting weird stares from dudes in the library), I think they are missing a few great hits! Look, I too can appreciate an amazing woman’s body, but shouldn’t there be more to these men’s choices? Like talent (cough #46 cough)? or whether the sound of their voice makes you want to run and hide (ahem #90)?

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m sure most of your faves made the top 30 (wait until you see who dropped to #7!), but overall I think we can agree that our picks and their picks might be a little bit different. Because when I think about a someone who’s desirable, he or she has gotta have the whole package, not just a beautiful face and a perfect body like the bullsh*t #1 choice AskMen has picked.
