Glamour Says The Darndest Things: June Edition
Why was I pretty much bawling my eyes out while perusing this month’s issue of Glamour? Maybe it’s because I’m totes going to be surfing the crimson wave soon, but everything was breaking my heart. From the realization that I’ll never look as amazing in a red swimsuit as Olivia Wilde does, to reading the article about how four women are killed every day by abusive partners, to the story about a man who is living with HIV after both his mother and sister died from AIDS…ugh.

10 Best Things About a Perfect Spring Day
I have come to the final decision that Thumper was right all along. As soon as spring arrived, he could only think about thumping that big foot of his so all of the animals would hear his mating call. I feel the same way as Thumper. Spring is here and so are my raging hormones. Boys and their forearms crawl out of North Faces and down comforter coats…and I can’t get enough.

As finals start to wind down and graduation looms closer most graduates will be reminiscing about the memories they had with their besties. The late night chats, the embarrassing moments, the day you met freshman year as you walked in a giant mass of people to the nearest frat party. But those girls and guys aren’t the only ones you’ll have to say goodbye to come graduation day; there’s also all those randoms you’ve met along the way that added a little spice to your college career.
Even University Presidents Wonder if College is Worth Anything Anymore
I was brought up believing that the world consisted of two groups: people with degrees and people without degrees. I went through life thinking that the people with degrees ran the big businesses and drove fancy cars, and that the people without degrees worked at McDonald’s (unless they got lucky and invented Apple computers or Google instead).
The Best (and the Worst) New Celebrity Hairstyles
Today’s celebrities have one goal (and one goal ONLY): to stay relevant. If recording a new album, starring in a summer blockbuster, filming a reality show, or promoting a new line of designer lollipops doesn’t help to achieve this goal, there’s one other trick that never fails to make gossip blog headlines: drastic hairstyle changes.

Versatile Style: Topshop Orange Cutaway Halter Dress
The other day I was browsing the Topshop website and came across a dainty little number with so much potential. The Orange Cutaway Halter Dress (yeah, real original name, Topshop), is, like you guessed, an orange, halter-style dress made of flowy chiffon. Besides the knockout color, this dress also features a stunning cutout in the chest area, giving it a sexy ’70s feel and a very thin break in the fabric on the back, which will be evident when you’re moving around.
Sex is a Hot Bed of Insecurity
Sex. It’s a love-hate relationship. While it should be “love at first orgasm,” all the bending and unflattering positions have me thinking more about my body than about the big “O.” And then there’s my ability to perform – am I good? Am I bad? Am I so bad that he tells all his friends about it? Does he notice me lying there thinking about all these things?
Current Events Cheat Sheet: Let the 2012 Presidential Race Begin!
The race for the 2012 Republican presidential candidacy is on! There have been murmurings for a while, but this week, a few politicians made things official. Firstly, Mike Huckabee, considered a far right-wing front-runner, bowed out of the race saying that “all the factors say go, but my heart says no” (do you think he meant to rhyme?)

College is all about finding yourself and carving out your own path in the world. Right? Well, look at any college campus and you’ll probably disagree. Sometimes it even seems like there’s a on-campus uniform. Northface fleece? Check. Uggs? Check. Leggings? Check.
Body Blog: Post-Workout Recovery
For the past few weeks and even months, I have been bombarded with finals and papers and work and group projects, all of which didn’t allow me enough time to properly train. I mean, the last run I did was a 2-mile warm up the week before. And my last run before that? [Crickets.] I honestly can’t tell ya. As I lined up yesterday morning to run, I felt completely unprepared.

It’s official. It’s summertime. Okay, so I know that technically it’s not officially summertime, that’s not until sometime in June, but for us college girls classes are over, finals are done, and summer is in session.
