Where Were You When You Found Out Osama Bin Laden was Dead?
So, last night was crazy, right? Here I am, sitting on my couch enjoying a bag of Pop Chips (yes, an entire bag. So much for portion control) watching NeNe Leakes flip her sh*t on Celebrity Apprentice when suddenly the news breaks in.
Win Money to Go on a Shopping Spree at PLNDR.com [Giveaway]
Spring is FINALLY here and you’re probably so sick of your winter clothes that you’re ready to throw a down coat bonfire party. I know I personally tried to put my Uggs through my paper shredder (poor idea, I admit now.) But what will you wear after you throw away all your turtlenecks and fleece-lined jeggings? And when will you have time to go shopping with laying out in the quad studying for finals taking up all your time?

Body Blog: Mid-Year Resolutions For a Healthy Life
When it comes to fitness resolutions, it’s hard to stick to every little detail. There are days when you may feel tired, a date comes up, or you find any excuse (“Judge Judy is on!”) to justify yourself. But that’s only hindering you, and while it may seem easier to just give up sometimes, sticking to a plan to reach your goal isn’t as hard as you think.

The Weekly Ten: Gleekin’ Out Over Guest Stars
Last week, the cast of Glee serenaded us for a full 90 minutes. And because of that extra half hour of musical enjoyment, I’ve had Glee on the brain nonstop. But not only have I been thinking about the Lady Gaga inspired episode of last week, I’ve also been looking ahead. Like way ahead. To episodes that have yet to be written and characters that have yet to be created. I’ve got a few guest star suggestions for you Glee…

5 Grad Games to Help You Pass the Time
Graduation Day. The most important day of your college career. (At least for your parents.) A day to celebrate. A day to remember. A day to cherish. A day…that can definitely get pretty boring. Because while our parents and professors may be up for a few hours of ceremony and speeches, I personally feel like I could do without the hours upon hours of speeches that college seniors have to deal with… but speeches we will have to endure.

Forget About Everyone Else – Embrace YOU
In today’s society, it’s hard to be perfect when outlandish images of flawlessness are everywhere. Singers, actresses and even our favorite bloggers conveniently have everything that we don’t. So do our cousins, classmates and the girls in our innermost circles. Instead of embracing our flaws and appreciating the redeeming qualities we have, we compare and contrast ourselves with anyone who’s “better.”
Intro to Cooking: Bruschetta
Tomatoes are one of my favorite parts of the summer. And I know it’s not technically tomato season yet (or, in most places, even spring-like at all). However, I like to be prepared to use as many tomatoes as possible for the summer.
How to Avoid the Pitfalls of Online Shopping
If you’re like me, there’s something mystifying and alluring about online shopping. Not only do you get to stay in your pjs (or, uh, undies), but you can visit multiple stores with just a few clicks of the mouse. And you don’t have to wait in long lines. Or blow a full day’s worth of calories on a Cinnabon that you can’t deny after you smell it’s cinnamony goodness from 6 stores away.
