Lindsay Lohan In The News For Assault But It’s Not Her Fault

Our Favorite New Musicians [Sundays Are For Procrastinating]
Finding new music and artists is when of my favorite things. It’s always such a cool feeling when you find music and artists that you can really connect with. I came across some of these artists on the rise through various websites, stumbling upons, and friend’s suggestions.
Need Cute Gameday Duds? Check Out These Stores!
Back to school means lots of college sporting events to attend. Showing team spirit can be tough – licensed sporting gear can be on the pricy side, and there isn’t always a lot of fashion-forward selection to choose from. Luckily there are lots of clothing stores that sell gear to deck you out for the next game. These may not be the real jersey deal, but they are budget friendly and cute!
Healthy Fast Food Options When You’re Pressed For Time
It’s hard to balance a healthy lifestyle when you’re a college girl on the go. Between crazy class schedules, team meetings, hang out time with friends and Toddlers in Tiaras marathons, finding time to buy real food, and make meals that don’t involve a microwave can get pretty difficult. We all want to stay healthy and fit (even if we do engage in the occasional tub of Ben & Jerry’s), but sometimes it’s hard to do that within the confines of a college dorm or cafeteria.

Do Blue Balls Exist? Ask A Naked Guy [Candy Dish]
We’ve all discussed blue balls with some manner of skepticism, ladies. Was that just a guilt trip ploy to ensure I get him off? Or do guys really get blue balls? And what the hell does ‘blue balls’ mean anyway? Gurl.com has all the answers for you, and they went straight to the source: A naked man. This was definitely an enlightening video.
Watermark Your Plain White Tee [DYI with CC]
I have about a bazillion plain white T-shirts in my closet at the moment, which takes me back to the days of middle school when we’d break out the buckets and rubber bands for tie-dye parties. This craft is a great way to use those plain shirts and customize them with your own designs, quotes – whatever you want. The result is an extremely cute end product that’s completely unique.

Escaping the Friend Zone [Diary of the Undateable]
