Alright, lets get real. The minute I saw the headline, ‘Sofia Vergara’s Little Sister’ on the cover of September’s Maxim, I got a little lady boner. Sophia Vergara has a little sister? Fall always brings me great little surprises in the form of crunchy leaves and new-found saucy women to look up to.

Yes, I just said I look up to women in Maxim. Hey, if anyone can pull off a mesh, wet, white swimsuit and slicked back hair, they deserve a nod on my behalf. She must have had sworn off toast for over a month. Golf clap.

Anyway, as I began to plow through the magazine looking for a little Vergara heritage, as usual I came across a few questionable articles. Whenever I read Maxim, along with staring at hot chicks, I learn the most random facts in the world. I never knew men were so interested in totally irrelevant and pointless information. Here’s a few random facts for you: Did you know Illinois recently passed a law that allows residents to pick up roadkill? Did you know the worst smell in the world is actually human fecal matter-according to a cross-cultural (real) study? Um, gross. That means human poop smells worse than, say, a dead beached blue whale. Humans really are disgusting. Read More »

It’s finally here! Once again, we’ve been knocked to the bottom of the totem pole, but this time, it’s not a big deal. While looking like a major n00b around campus for the first month or so is far from fun, there’s certainly more of a welcoming vibe from the upperclassmen. If you have yet to move in and make your mark in your classes and social circles, read carefully.

Move-In Day can either be a hit or a miss. The worst part is over when you finally chuck the deuces up to your parents as they get back in the car (“Later, guys! No, I totally won’t give in to peer pressure. I’ll def study hard. Love you too!”). Trust me, missing them won’t be as bad as you think. It’s like ripping off a bandaid. Don’t do it slowly or you’ll both cry.

Now, may I be the first to remind you: just because your new friends take full advantage of the free beer and meal plan doesn’t mean you should, too. Keep that cute lil ass of yours in check!

That said, rest assured that everyone is friendly. So be outgoing, Hang out with your God-fearing RA’s rather…um…interesting roomies. Don’t freak out if you don’t instantly click with someone- you’ve got four years to make another impression. And also- this is important!- don’t be weirded out by the idea of tagging along with the crew you meet heading out at the same time as yours. Bigger crews = better fun. By doing this, you’ll make connections for next week as well! Read More »

How many times have you been on the “feminine hygiene” aisle in your grocery store thinking “Pads or Tampons? UGH I really wish there was another option. Like a cup for my vagina!”

Well, you’re in luck because menstrual cups are the newest craze for that time of the month. You just insert the cup into your vagina and you’re covered for 12 hours (you can even have sex). One writer from Lovelyish actually tried them (and actually liked them). See what she has to say here.

What do you think? Would you try a cup?

Newsweek just released their 2011 college rankings, and they’re pretty useless for prospective students. Top Schools for Activists? Boring. Best Schools for Foreign Students? I could just study abroad. Most Rigorous? Why would I want to challenge myself?

Here are five categories that Newsweek should have included on their list that prospective students would actually need to know about. Read More »

[There comes a time in every girl’s life, (usually after a third or fourth martini), when she realizes “Damn, I need to do something… travel to Europe, take up Chinese, get married…someeeething! I need to change my life.” Finding myself in one such rut and without the cash-flow for a capricious jet-set to France, I decided to live by the book, take the plunge, and tackle the Benrik challenge.]

Week 8 – Task 1

Day 220: A huge meteorite is about to hit the Earth, blasting it into smithereens. The world’s main governments left weeks ago for a secret base on Pluto, leaving their look-alikes to keep the populace placid. Only owners of the Book are allowed to be in the know, so please keep this information to yourself. 

Alllllllright… I’m just going to go with this one.

Options: There are four main ways of reacting to the news.

I. Go on the rampage

Wait. By “rampage “do they mean that I should pillage like a pirate and  steal all the loot?  Why would I want to spend my last night in jail? That just doesn’t seem like the greatest idea. Read More »

Lately, I’ve been enjoying wearing pants when I go out, as opposed to skirts and dresses. Pants are a fun and unexpected option for a night on the town that also keep you mega comfy! Harem pants made a comeback a few seasons ago and since I’ve never featured them, I figured it was about time!

This pair from Forever 21 features a fun, tribal-inspired print in girly rose pink. As they are harem pants, they’re made from comfy, lightweight rayon and come to capri-length. These are a great option for summer, as they will keep you cool and looking chic and polished. This week, I decided to show you how to wear harem pants for a night out and a day at the office. Forever 21′s prices are so affordable that it doesn’t matter if this piece is super trendy – you’re getting your money worth with only a handful of wears. You can’t expect amazing quality for the prices, but you will have at least a season to wear out your piece. Read More »
