Single Girl Society: Quirky Girls Finish Last
There are certain girls who can make guys swoon with nothing more than look, a switch of the hips and maybe a cleverly timed wink. I will never be one of those girls. Unfortunately, I trip over things, lots of things, and on any given hectic morning, I’m likely to leave the house with mascara smeared on my nose. Maybe I’m not charming or adorable and I assure you that no one will ever refer to me as “the sweetest little thing they ever did lay eyes on,” but I have to admit, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Budget Stylista: Flare Jeans
Store after store is showing off flared and bell bottoms of all widths, washes and rises. And I couldn’t be happier! While skinny jeans are great and still have their place, I love having an alternative for days I feel more like Thunder Thighs and an excuse to always channel my inner Raquel Welch circa the 70s.

WTF Friday: May I Water Your Lawn?
The puking man water sprinkler is the best piece of gardening frippery any child will ever have the opportunity to be horrified by. It even says right in the ad- your kids are going to love running through the “barf” on hot days! Guys, I really think we can redefine some classic summer memories with this one.

Is Kate Middleton Responsible for The World’s Body Image Issues?
Ever since Kate Middleton stepped into the public eye, there has been much scrutiny surrounding her weight. The 5 foot 10 in. tall duchess is rumored to weight in at just under 100 lbs which, according to her BMI of 14.35, is seriously underweight. (Anything under 18.5 for women is considered underweight.) Now, once again, everyone is worried about young girls and how they’re going to respond to Kate Middleton’s body.
Friday Faves: The Feminist’s Dating Dilemma
Recently, a few of my friends and I got into a bit of a disagreement over who pays on a date. Although a few people agreed with me that if the relationship is long-term, the couple should split the costs for practical reasons (after all, especially if you’re on a college budget, it’s hard to bear the burden of all expenses), the overall consensus was that the guy should always pay at first. Some said the first date, some the first three dates, and others advocated up to the first year.
Just Some Celebs Looking Homeless
Sometimes it seems like the more money they have, the more homeless celebs think they should look. Like, I know you have tons of beautiful clothes in an effing huge closet in your fabulous house. If you’re not going to wear them, at least give them to me.

Summer in the City: Summer Lovin’, Having a Blast
There’s nothing quite as sweet as a summer love. Summer flings happen at the best time, on the cusp of classes ending when summer fearlessness sets in. Throw the city into that equation and the possibilities really are endless. So spend your free time this summer on dates that you’ll remember even if the guy was less than memorable.
How To Be A Rockstar in College
Do you spend a lot of time playing Rock Band with your roomies and pretending like your entire town is listening and cheering you on? Oh, that’s just me and my roommate? Don’t tell her I told you. Anyway, there are plenty of things you can actually do (apart from pretend to be a great drummer on your Wii) to rock your college years. Like what, you ask?
