Things That Should Never Be At a Frat Party
I’m all for theme-parties but this story out of the University of Pennsylvania is ridiculous. Having attended almost as many frat parties as classes during my four years, I can tell you that these kids don’t know the first thing about how to throw a great rager. As a wise and learned scholar in the art of drinking, I feel compelled to tell these ivy-kids what not to do, just in case they get caught again.
Intro to Cooking: Blueberry Salad
Yesterday, it was almost 80 degrees in my college town. Today, it’s supposed to be in the mid-70s. This is my favorite kind of weather: not too hot, but warm enough to traipse around in a sundress. The unfortunate thing about this weather though is that it makes me want to eat summer foods. You know what I’m talking about: watermelon, fresh strawberry pie, raspberry anything…

One-Month Challenge: No Fried Food, Week 2
I’ll admit it. I cheated. On Wednesday, I had 13 fries and two chicken nuggets from McDonald’s.

I Snooped On My BF And I Totally Regret It
I’m about to admit something that I’m not even a little bit proud of: I’ve been going through my boyfriend’s phone and reading his text messages. And before everyone gets all judgmental on my paranoid ass, I’m sure that more than half of you can admit to doing the same exact thing at least once, if not on a regular basis. The thing is, I’ve recently realized that completely disregarding my boyfriend’s trust and going through his phone like a crazy woman isn’t helping me feel any better about anything.
7 Reasons Why You Should Grab You Girlfriends and Go See Bridesmaids
Now, normally I’m a tough movie critic, especially when it comes to movies which target women. Often those movies are predictable, one dimensional, and full of supposedly comedic moments which tend to fall flat. So when I went to see Bridesmaids, one of the most anticipated female movies in a long time, I was hopeful but also skeptical.

Single Girl Society: Summer and Single Go Hand In Hand
There’s nothing like finals time to stress you out enough to make you forget that your last few dates were total flops. Caught up in the chaos of studying for a cumulative exam created by the most cruel of professors, there is a sigh of relief in knowing that your single life is the last thing on your mind, if only for a week. But what’s a girl to do with a suddenly cleared up summer schedule and no summer romance lined up?
10 Celebrities and The Scandals We’re Nostalgic About
Maybe it’s because I’m done with finals and I have nothing to worry about. Maybe it’s because all of my favorite TV shows are going on hiatus. Maybe it’s because I zoomed through my blogs too quickly this week, but I have to say, I’ve come to a sad realization. Celebrity scandal is dead.
The Best Places to Shop… Online!
Online shopping has become almost a hobby as it is almost too convenient to scroll through an entire store, easily click the size you want for a cute shirt and have it shipped in a few days. Yet in a world where there’s an unlimited amount of online stores to shop at, how do you know which ones to skip over and which ones are worth looking at?
WTF Friday: Alicia Silverstone Gives Her Baby a Normal Name
I know, I know. You’re all like “Bear Blu is a NORMAL name?!?! Where are you from…Insane City?” But bear with me.
The Situation’s Got Himself a Confrontation
So we all know that The Situation is a grade A douchelord. He stirs up sh*t, he treats women like garbage and he takes off his shirt everywhere he goes. (Come on, now! There’s a time a place for those sorts of shenanigans.) And it looks like we’re not the only ones who think that.
