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

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.

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.
