The 5 Biggest Drunken Faux Pas
It’s Sunday morning, you sit up slowly in your bed, vision blurred, hair lookin’ a hot mess, and attempt to take note of where everything is. After seeing a dress and shoes laying on the floor, you decide that’s enough and fall back into your bed. A second later you pop up and that”oh crap” light bulb pops in your head.

Sage Advice from a Post-Grad Success Story
So, graduation’s over. College is done. You got nothing to your name but a new set of luggage (thanks, Uncle Steve!) and a lot of uncertainty. And anxiety. And drunken photos that you have to un-tag because you’re trying to get a job.
Intro to Cooking: Grilled Watermelon and Pineapple Salad
As the end of May gets closer, I start to crave the summer foods of my childhood: potato salad, greasy hamburgers, funnel cakes, Push Pops… It can’t just be me, right? However, a lot of those foods aren’t exactly, um, healthy. To lighten things up a little bit, let’s talk about fruit.
CC Beauty Live: Loose Waves
Waves are great. But I’m not talking about the beach, which I love. Minus the sand. And sea critters. And old men in Speedos. Whatever. Waves are always in, and there are oh so many ways to style them. You can do the beachy surfer girl crunch, the old Hollywood glamour, the pincurl wave, or this: the loose wave.
One-Month Challenge: No Fried Food, Week 3
For the first time in weeks, I don’t have any dreams about mozzarella sticks. I don’t wake up longing for the crunchy taste of hash browns in my mouth. I don’t even want a chicken wing….that much.

The Pubic Problem
A few weeks ago, CollegeCandy posted a piece on How to Have the Best Vaginia in Town, a post that featured a number of ridiculous, but real vajazzling techniques (which by the way was not supposed to be taken as serious suggestions). But even with so many crazy options to choose from, the issue that really took over the comments was the idea of waxing at all.
Saturday Read: The Passage, by Justin Cronin
The Passage was originally released last year and maintained its hardcover form for quite a while, so I had to pass. It wasn’t the price that bothered me – I can handle the occasional $15 book – it was the weight!
How to Put Together a Cute Outfit in Under 10 Minutes!
I have a confession: I love my snooze button. Unfortunately, though, sleeping in doesn’t always allow me ample time to put together a well-thought-out outfit. Because of my love of both sleeping in and fashion, as soon as I got to college, I knew I needed a plan.

For the Class of ’11: The best of your birth year, 1989
We’re not Dr. Seuss up in here and we’re not going to try to send you into the world with Oh, The Place You’ll Go! and BS advice and chase your dream metaphors. Because at the end of the day, no amount of A-List commencement speakers (no matter how awesome they are) will make up for the fact that you’re leaving college and most likely moving back home.
Single Girl Society: Nicholas Sparks Is Not The Author Of Your Life
If you have yet to endure the torture that is a Nicholas Sparks movie marathon, I highly suggest you look into it purely as a service to yourself. Though the sappy movies seem out of place in single girl world, they’re actually a pretty effective learning tool – of what not to do.
Budget Stylista: From The Gym to the Street
Let’s face it, looking cute for a workout is often a challenge. Actually, it’s a total after-thought. You wake up, grab the first oversized t-shirt you can find and stumble to the gym in a haze, never giving much thought to what you look like or what your plans are after you tighten your core.
WTF Friday: Are Junderpants a Joke?!
Um, so remember that time you spent 9 hours defending jeggings to your boyfriend (they’re super comfy jeans!). Well, get ready to feel like he must have felt when you first said jeggings in a non-sarcastic tone.
How Far Would You Go for Free College Tuition?
Going to college costs a lot of money. And if you pay for it by yourself there is a pretty big chance (like 100%) you’ll leave with a hefty debt. And if you are in college now, there’s a good chance you won’t be able to find a good job to pay off all that debt.
