The time’s come. You lean in for that first kiss. You’ve known each other for years/months/weeks/days/hours. There’s this connection between you, he understands you, every moment together is stress free and sexual tension filled! Just as your lips are about to reach his…he turns the other cheek…which is the equivalent of taking a shat in your hat then offering it to you for wear. WHY? What happened? Did you grow another head? Was there not enough Dewars? Is he self-conscious about the fact he uses more tongue than Gene Simmons? Then it comes, “I think we should just keep it as friends.” *fire the boxing glove gun to his groin*
Don’t blame yourself…necessarily. Look, you don’t know until you try. I mean, there was no way to predict he didn’t want to take it further, right?
If he introduces you to his buddy that just got out of a long-term relationship…he probably just wants to be friends. Read More »
In the week following the last-minute debt deal, the stock markets plummeted, giving many flashbacks to the dark days of the 2008 financial crash. The steep dive took place Thursday, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by 513 points, or 4.3%, which doesn’t sound like that much, but it’s a lot, a lot, a lot. In fact, it’s the biggest one-day percent drop in the past 2 years. The other averages that are used to measure the stock market, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, fell by 4.8% and 5.1% respectively that day. This obviously isn’t good news for our not-so-hot economy, as the stock market is used to predict what will happen financially in the future, and you can bet this will be THE (somewhat boring, but important) topic on the tongues of the Republican presidential candidates.
I think we can all agree that technology and social media have made our lives easier and more connected than ever before, but along with all that convenience comes a whole new set of embarrassing moments, drunken regrets and digital faux-pas to watch out for. Before you decide to tell someone (probably the wrong person) all your deep, dark secrets over IM or before you upload your Nicki Minaj lipsync video to Youtube, check out these internet slip-ups we’ve made quite a few times down the line. Let our embarrassing mishaps save you from yours.

What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you online?
Without question, Friday Night Lights had to be one of the most underrated television dramas of the past several years. If you’ve never watched an episode (gasp!) or never heard of it (double gasp!), get your tush over to Netflix right this instant. The seasons are available on instant stream…and you don’t even have to like football! FNL was all about the well-written plot lines and seriously hot actors.
For those of you who were fans of the Dillon Panthers, you know alllll about my boyfriend Taylor Kitsch, who played Tim Riggins on FNL. His broody stares, his love for Texas, his amazing abs, his tortured soul. If such a man existed outside of tv land, I’d be all over that. (Just sayin’.) But since we live in the real world, I (and you) will just have to settle for some glorious pictures of Tim, instead. Read More »
We mock them, trash talk them, tweet them and get sucked into their lame plot lines. Usually we tell our friends we only watch them as a joke, but secretly we live for that half hour or so when we get introduced to someone else’s problems. Not only do we then feel better about ourselves after, but we had the pleasure of secretly (well pleasure might not be the right word) watching someone else’s life.
And in reality, isn’t that something we all love? People watching? Reality TV just amplifies that up a bit. Which leads me to my article, reality TV celebrities I kind of want to be for a day. Nothing more than a day mind you, just a quick little 24-hour test drive to see what their life is really like…you have to agree it would be kind of cool to see the inside of Tyra Bank’s closet.
You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate. Take a stroll down memory lane and revisit these Disney classics. We’ll be back to the days of slappy bracelets, nap times and dunk-a-roos before you can say ’90s.

Check out the latest gear that’ll get rid of those restless nights, pesky extra wires and low quality tunes. We’re hooking you up with the latest gadgets, gear and devices to help with a successful (and less stressful) semester.
Okay, so I guess I’m a gym rat. I am the one who loves to get to my campus fitness center when it opens at 6:30 in the morning (and who was infuriated when the opening was delayed from 6:00 a.m.). And I have tried just about every class and machine offered on the commercial market. At various times in my life, I have been the yoga class-clown who slips out of downward dog — and eventually the student fellow classmates look to as a model.
I like to say I’ve seen a lot of different ways of exercising and done a lot of different exercises, which means I’ve made every mistake imaginable along the way. So, whether you are prepping to take advantage of your school’s gym in the fall or you want to work off some summer puff while the sun is still shining, I offer you a few suggestions to make your return to the gym a great success: Read More »
