He Said/She Said: Decoding Text Messages
Sigh. The text message. So few letters, so many hours spent analyzing it. And throw in some punctuation? My god, you might as well have me solve a trig equation. Ambiguous text messages leave so many of us ladies staring blankly at our cell phone screens, a look of completely confusion on our faces (and not always due to auto correct).

Tuffy Luv Sez: Take Your Time and Just Date!
I’m a sophomore in college and I’ve recently started, um, “seeing” this guy. I don’t use “seeing” to coyly imply hooking up. What I mean is, we’ve been going on sort-of dates for the last three weeks and I have NO idea where we are. Let me back up. The guy, who we’ll call Hunter, plays on the same intramural team as me, and I met him riiiight at the very very end of spring semester last year, where we hit it off, but then parted ways for the summer.
The World Map of Penises
You know how people are always making generalizations about men and their sexual prowess based entirely on cultural stereotypes? Well, someone finally got tired of it. In what I can only assume was an attempt to put all those rumors to rest, someone actually did a study to determine which nations were the most well endowed.

Wow. Kate Winslet looks absolutely stunning on this month’s cover of Glamour. Her hair, her pose, her Top Model fierce expression (insert three Tyra snaps here…) I thought she she was the pinnacle of perfection when she was in Titanic, but she keep reaching new heights of gorgeousness.

8 Vitamins Every College Girl Needs in Her Diet
What are the first words you think of when you think of college food? Cheesy? Greasy? Carb-loaded? Do you ever think of how healthy your college diet is? Probably not. And if you do, it’s in a “See? I’m eating vegetables….on my 3am deep dish pizza that I’m dipping in ranch and washing down with a Natty Ice” sorta way.

7 Things You Need to Know About Your Pill
In this day and age, it seems like every one of my friends is on the birth control pill. However, unlike most girls, most of my friends went on the pill to have sex at the end of high school, and simply stayed on it to enter college. And while most people know the basics of birth control, few people ever bother to read the fine print.
We’ve All Been There: Spring Fever
You wake up for class and something is different. It takes you a moment before you realize that – OH MY GOD! – there is sunlight coming into your room! It’s not dark or dreary out!
A Few Things Guys Should Stop Saying
So we all know that guys constantly complain about how girls are always saying things to make them go running (you know, like “Wanna hang out tonight?” or “I like your jeans.”) But hey, NEWSFLASH, guys aren’t so innocent. They say and do plenty of horrendous stuff that makes us want to pack our bags and run in the opposite direction, too.
The Best Plus-Size Stores
Once upon a time full-figured women were forced to wear muumuus, oversized t-shirts and mom jeans. No one even considered the idea that plus-sized women wanted to be hip, fashionable, and trendy. But today, retailers are beginning to welcome bigger women with arms wide open.
Surviving Senior Year: Life Lessons
So just like with the very first column I wrote for Surviving Senior Year, it’s taken me a while to figure out what exactly I want to write for this one. My very last one. Actually I should say it’s “taking me a while” because I really have no idea where this one is going. So bear with me one last time. When I started this column back in September I was just starting senior year. I was both excited and terrified at the prospect of having just two semesters left of college, and now, two months away from the end of college I’m just as excited and just as terrified.
