You know what happens when college kids come back home to visit for the first time? We eat. A lot. We’ve got to get our hands on as much of the delicious food in our fridge as we can before we’re back in the car on our way to school.

My mom is a phenomenal cook, so when I would come home from school there was no stopping me. So what, they called me an animal a few times but really, who cares? I didn’t eat nearly as much as my older brother, so any insults they could think of didn’t really faze me.

It wasn’t until after I graduated that I started to feel a little uncomfortable when I was still scarfing down platters of mom’s home cooking. It was then that my animalistic nature started to really surface. And bother me.

While I’m still dealing with my own animalistic intentions (I’m sensitive, alright?), I’ve got a little somethin’-somethin’ for all of you currently enrolled animal-like college kids: animals behaving like people!

If you thought we were bad, wait ‘til you see some of these out of control photos! Then ask mom and dad which they’d rather deal with. Read More »

What’s that, you say? Cardio? In my dorm? But I don’t have a treadmill…or an elliptical…or any space to run!

Ladies, I’m here to tell you that it is totally possible to get a great cardio workout without ever leaving your dorm. So put down your books and take a heart-healthy study break.

1. Run Up the Stairs

This is a simple, easy and effective workout. You know that running will get your heart rate up, and running up stairs will also tone your hamstrings and butt. So not only will you build endurance and burn fat, you’ll also look great in your jeans all winter. You should run for about 10 minutes, as running up the stairs is a little more intense than running on level ground.

2. Body Builders

Also known as burpees, these are great for cardio as well as for full body strengthening. Start standing with your feet hip width apart. Bend down and place your hands on the floor by your feet. Jump out into plank position. Then jump your feet back in to your hands, and finish by jumping up into the air and reaching your arms over your head. Remember to engage your abdominals to support your back in plank position. Repeat four more times.

3. High Knee Runs

To keep your heart rate up, try this move. Run in place, but bring your knees as high up toward your chest as you can with each step. Try to keep your spine straight, and don’t hunch down toward your knees. Do this for 30 seconds.

To complete your workout, repeat the sequence of five body builders and 30 seconds of high knee runs three times.

Ever get dressed for class and find yourself standing in front of the mirror thinking something’s missing, but you just don’t know where to add that last minute accessory? After going through the whole day, you’re now headed out on a manhunt with your girls and you’re looking for an easy way to make your almost there outfit scream ‘do me!’ But instead of being super excited to get out and (hopefully) get some, you’re stuck standing in front of your mirror.

I’m that girl that’s always standing in front of the mirror, waiting for the missing piece to my outfit to magically appear. I’m entirely ready to go but there I am, just clicking my ruby red heels together, knowing that I’m not totally there yet.

You don’t have to raise your hand and tell me that you, too, are like me…there’s no punishment here for being short an accessory. Instead, I did some researching (a.k.a I looked at pictures of the most fashionable babes on the internet and just copied their really good ideas). The best part about most of these awesome last minute add-ons is that I’ve probably got all of these pieces laying around my closet somewhere, dusty from their lack of use.

Now that I’ve scanned the internet (and the deepest, darkest gallows of my closet) here are the top 10 last minute accessory ideas that take any outfit from drab to fab… Read More »

Lately, I’ve found myself using canvas tote bags a lot. When I can’t fit all my textbooks, notebooks or other awkwardly-shaped junk into my gorgeous purses, I opt for a tote. Most of mine are quite boring and were free at various conferences or academic events, so I wanted one that I wouldn’t be slightly embarrassed to be carrying. And I found it in the Out of Print Book Bag! Read More »

With all of their money and designers at their disposal, you would think that celebrities would be dressed well all the time. You couldn’t be more wrong. I mean, we all have those days when nothing looks right and you hate everything in your closet. But if I had a celebrity budget, I wouldn’t have that problem. Some celebs just don’t care what they look like and have some serious style issues. I’m not talking weird like Lady Gaga because she actually puts in effort for those wacky outfits. She’s making statements. I’m talking about celebs that just have awful style. all.the.time.

Every once in awhile, I’ll hear dudes lament how handjobs became obsolete past high school. It’s true enough, I suppose. At some point, oral and intercourse replaced the handy. In theory, I totally understand why some dudes miss the HJ – I still enjoy a good fingerbang probably more often than is “normal” for someone over the age of 17. But I refuse to do my part to bring handjobs back. Occasionally, my boyfriend asks for one, and I’ll oblige, very reluctantly. But honestly, they suck. And here’s why…

They’re hard work.
Blow jobs have the reputation for being arduous, but either my hands/wrists are weak, or my mouth is unusually strong. Seriously, within minutes of commencing a HJ, my hand starts cramping, my wrist gets sore and I’m not mentally engaged enough to want to continue. I can’t help but look around the room, think of my grocery list and wonder if Ryan Gosling asks his ladies to endure such torture. Read More »

No one likes being the roommate who has to chase after everyone for money to pay the electric, cable and water bills. Even worse, no one likes being the person being chased after for these things. I mean, sheesh, don’t they know I just bought an amazing pair of heels!? There’s no time (or money) for taking care of trivial utility bills!

But alas, some things are inevitable: death, taxes, freshman year 8am classes. In light of this depressing fact, it’s best to have an organized bill-paying system in place at your apartment. Luckily, in this week’s Ask a Roommate, Marysa throws out some fabulous tips for keeping everyone prompt with their payment and keeping your lights, cable and water on. Read More »

A little while ago, we conducted The Most Epic Facebook Survey Ever. We asked you guys about everything from how annoying sonogram photos in your newsfeed are, to how many of you have broken up with someone simply by changing your status. We also asked you about Facebook stalking (don’t act like you’ve never done it). If you took the survey, you’ll know that we asked you to define Facebook stalking.

And you guys gave us weird, creepy, hilarious and wacky answers. We learned that some of you are really weird and will probably be arrested soon if you continue your stalking ways, and we learned that some of you are practically undercover detectives when it comes to finding info on your crushes and exes.

Here are 50 ways you guys defined Facebook stalking. Read More »
