Win a Nikon COOLPIX P300 camera (giveaway)
Music is great. Am I right or am I right? It’s the best thing when you’re having a bad day (cue the emo playlist) and even better thing when you’re having a great day (cue the Glee showtunes! Only me? Okay, whatevs). It’s just amazing how songs are able to capture exactly how you’re feeling, but in a better, more lyrical and more talented way. And that’s why we’re teaming up with NikonLive to celebrate the magic of music by giving away a camera!!

The Best College Loungewear
Living in a dorm means that your mom and dad aren’t the only ones who’ll see you in your flannel onesie. The days of absolute privacy are likely behind you.

Or to the computer lounge to print something. Or to the grocery store.

Intro to Cooking: Ravioli in Brown Butter Sauce
Ravioli is one of my favorite dishes, because it is comforting and warm.

Saturday Flashback: Life Lessons from the Spice Girls
’90s parents all over the globe were distraught about their little girls being influenced by the Spice Girls.
