9 Celebrities who Share WAY Too Much
Celebrities will do practically anything to keep their names in the news these days. If their album flops or their movie doesn’t do so well at the box office, they turn to the world of expose’ memoir books, VH1 reality shows, trashy clothing lines, and tweeting multiple times per hour. Some of them even go as far as to reveal some disgusting, shock-worthy story about themselves just to gain a page in the tabloids this week (yes, I’m talking to you, Florence Henderson).

The Scams That Are “For-Profit” Colleges
We’ve all seen those cheesy commercials promising students who enroll in hassle-free online classes at these for-profit institutions a guaranteed job within the lucrative careers of their choice. What these commercials forget to mention, though, are the incredibly steep tuition costs, the even steeper debt that students should plan to graduate with, and the statistics of high dropout and low success rates of graduates from these institutions.

The Weekly Ten: My Favorite Words
I like words. That may sound like a strange statement but it’s true. I like words. I like reading them. I like writing them. I like speaking them. I love how words often sound like their meaning. How certain ones flow off the tongue effortlessly and others are succinct little chirps.

Alex McCord, Gov. Cuomo and the 2011 Gay Pride Parade NYC [135 PHOTOS]
The Village was ablaze with celebration and excitement Sunday as the 42nd Annual Gay Pride Parade took to the streets of mid and lower Manhattan. The parade comes only two days after the New York Senate voted to legalize same-sex marriages in the State of New York. NYC Gov. Andrew Cuomo was the obvious hero of the day, leaving the McCords from Real Housewives NYC as the obvious zeros. Alex and hubby hugged the outer edge of the route in extreme effort to assure camera’s like ours caught it.
Easy Ways To Be The Best Intern Ever
In my accumulated two years as an unpaid intern at a variety of different magazines and websites, I have learned a LOT about the art of interning. I’ve worked with super nice people, but have also had horribly scary bosses who think they’re better than you — and I have spent countless hours trying to impress and suck up to those same people. And, well, I kind of rocked those internships. I worked hard, stayed organized, and tried my hardest to stand out in the crowd.

I Always Hated My Summer Birthday…Until Now
I’ve never liked my summer birthday. It’s June 30th, smack dab in the middle of summer. In elementary school I never got the chance to bring in cookies or cupcakes to celebrate, nor did I ever get the chance to be “Student of the Day” and wear the special birthday crown. In elementary school, that’s a BIG deal!
When Popsicles and Ice Cream aren’t Good Enough…
When it gets hot and humid out, the last thing I want to do is eat anything with steam coming out of it. While I usually turn to ice cold drinks, popsicles, or ice cream for my summer feasts, I was actually a bit surprised to learn that there are plenty of cool-down foods that aren’t 1000 calories each.
Intro to Cooking: Yummy Yogurt Parfait
I have a secret: it took me forever to fall in love with parfaits. I know! I know! For whatever reason, for a long time, I felt really opposed to mixing food… I was that person who kept everything on the plate from touching. Needless to say, discovering the deliciousness of yogurt parfaits was a groundbreaking day for me.
