By college, we’ve learned that sometimes the one that we want doesn’t always want us. And at that point it doesn’t matter that you would’ve loved him for the rest of his life, or that he promised you he’d never hurt you. Because the only thing that matters when your heart begins to crack again for the first time in a long time is you.
Lesson #51: Make Yourself Your Priority
We’ve all heard the advice from our best girlfriends in times of heartbreak—“Don’t waste tears on a guy who walked away from you when they were falling down your face,” “Don’t lose sleep over a guy who isn’t losing sleep over you,” and my personal favorite, “You were so much hotter than him anyways!” Whether any of it’s true or not isn’t the point, what matters is what you turn the situation into.
Rest assured you are not stupid, you are not a masochist, and you are not an emotional/psychological cutter. You fell hard. And then you looked up from your fall and realized you were alone. That’s all. Don’t look into it and try to make it some kind of representation of your overall personality. Take this one situation to deal with and move on from. It’s hard enough getting over heartbreak without being bogged down by your entire dating history simply because you’re desperate to make some kind of psychological breakthrough about yourself that probably isn’t even true anyways. Give yourself a real chance because heartbreak is hard enough to get through without you being hard on yourself. Read More »

We are all guilty of Facebook stalking. All of us! And I’m going to tell you that I think that’s perfectly okay. Isn’t that what Facebook is for? The hard part about Facebook stalking is that you can never let people know that you do it or else you will be known as a creep (even though the people calling you a creep Facebook stalk as much as you do, if not more).
If you’re reading this and you’re in denial that you are a Grade-A Facebook stalker or you think you’re a Facebook stalker and just want it confirmed, check out these five signs that you are a certified NORMAL PERSON BECAUSE WE ALL DO IT. Read More »

Polka dots had a big come back this season. Modern takes on polka-dots have been shown all over the runway by designers who were inspired by the vintage print. Polka dots manage to make a dress look chic without being too busy. They can also make a classic purse look up-to-season. This trend ranges from bold to understated, and is far from just black and white. Seen on the models of Marc Jacobs and Diane von Furstenberg, and now here on CC. Three looks with pieces for just under $35!

I don’t even really know what to say about this recent finding except for “what the f*ck?”
A new iPhone app has been introduced called “I Just Made Love” where people can share their sexual encounters with the world by just hitting a button. You can even share the exact location using the GPS in your phone and talk about which sexual positions you did.
I’m sorry, but there is no way that anyone should ever download this app and use it to it’s full potential. Who wants to hear about what sexual positions Randy from Scranton, PA did with his long-time girlfriend in the bathroom of a 7-11? No thank you!
And if sharing your sexual stories is your cup of tea, why not just tell a gossip-hungry friend or co-worker? Share the big news with your dog or something–not the whole world. Yikes.

Recently I was introduced to a website called Blind Gossip. On the site, people in Hollywood who may be close with celebs post what they know. They use code names for the celebrities and include clues in their description of the gossip. I know it seems sketchy, but a lot of the stuff posted on there has come true (like all of these juicy tidbits).
Lately on the site, people have been posting a lot about a star who is possibly faking her pregnancy, which would obviously point to Beyonce. One item of gossip claims that Beyonce is paying the surrogate mother to live in New York City while she is carrying the baby, and Beyonce is paying for a full-time nurse. The gossiper writes, “The Surrogate is well-cared for by a full-time staff person and there is always a doctor or nurse on call. She looks like she is approximately eight months pregnant, and is clearly much bigger than the Mom, who is simply playing pregnant.”

Our favorite pop princess, Britney Spears, is engaged! Her long-time boyfriend, Jason Trawick popped the question last night, and I am more than thrilled for Ms. Spears.

So here are a few things and people I think (and hope) BritBrit will definitely have at her wedding. Read More »

Neverending class work, nonstop relationship (or lack thereof) shiz, grad school applications, a dwindling bank account…the day-to-day worries of our college years often weigh us down. But too often, we stress about the big issues and totally forget about the little things that make our daily routines bearable…or even great!
1. A Cancelled Class
Your alarm goes off bright and early at 8 a.m. and you can barely open your eyes. You angrily hit the snooze button, roll over in bed and start thinking about what to wear. Then your mind runs through all the things you have to do today: 3 classes, gym, library, chapter meeting…ugh. You’d rather stay in bed. Then – BUZZ! – your phone vibrates and you wonder who the hell needs to talk to you this early. Lo and behold, it’s your study buddy letting you know that (gasp) CLASS IS CANCELLED! Your professor is sick/at a family function/whatever, and you can barely read the whole text before you reset your alarm, pull the covers back over your head and sleep for a few more (glorious!) hours.
2. Free Stuff!
Let’s face it, in this economy getting anything for free in college is right up there with Christmas and 21st birthdays. Free short stack day at IHOP, free condoms at Student Health, those Victoria’s Secret coupons for free panties that come in the mail, and (a personal favorite at my campus) free iced coffee day at Dunkin Donuts. And then there’s all those campus club meetings and fundraisers where they give out free food, and sometimes on hot days, free water bottles! It may not seem like much, but it doesn’t get much better than a free, ice cold water bottle.

When I was a kid, I had some pretty awesome toys. Pretty Pretty Princess, the plastic Polly Pockets with huge wardrobes, the Barbie Dream House and awesome outside water toys all kept me entertained for hours. While my toys were cool, they were nowhere as cool as the toys the kids have today. I’m seriously jealous. Maybe I’ll add some of these to my Christmas list this year…
