As a self-professed health nut and calorie counter, I had a hard time in college justifying the amount of empty calories I was intaking with beer. I never was a big beer drinker, even though everyone told me I would get used to it after awhile. I always thought it tasted horribleand wasn’t worth the calories.

Well, girls, it’s time to REJOICE because Miller Brewing Company has just now caught on to the calorie cutting trend. A 64 calorie beer …

Every college girl has been alerted to the fact that they should detag incriminating pictures or take down inappropriate quotes from online profiles because it could harm the status of a future internship, job, or even college application. That’s all common sense at this point.

But now, common problems for young females such as eating disorders are being used as evidence by an insurance company to not insure them. An article in the New Jersey Law Journal details …

My love-hate relationship with the Pill is something I have come to accept.

I always feel as if I technically should be on it for the generic reasons of being a 23-year-old female. But, then, when I am on it, it makes me super-emotional (which is out of character for me), moody, bloated, and just plain not myself. Now, that could just be because I haven’t found the “right” brand of pill, as my gynecologist rudely told me. But I …

Yes, I love(d) television.

I considered myself a huge fan of certain shows like Gossip Girl (my guilty pleasure), Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, The Office, etc (the list goes on and on). So, when the strike first began, I was devastated and wondered how I would function in my tiny cable-less studio without network shows putting out brand new episodes each week. What on earth would I look forward to at night?

Well, the months …

In light of the recent tragic death of Heath Ledger and the controversy surrounding it, not to mention other celebrities’ drug habits being thrust into the media spotlight, prescription pills are a hot topic right now.

While reading up on all the latest news, I stumbled across a statistic that I found shocking. According to the Los Angeles Times, accidental poisoning deaths, 95% of which are overdoses, rose sharply from 12,186 in 1999 to 20,950 in 2004. Prescription …

Ever think that stars like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears are just being big babies when it comes to complaining about all the attention they get? I mean, who wouldn’t be flattered that people want to constantly take pictures of them?

Well, to be honest, I can’t say that I’m entirely jealous of their lives, but for those who are, don’t worry, you can just buy your own paparazzi! No, seriously. This is an actual company, and for our celebrity …

In 20 years, I will be sitting around with my girlfriends reminiscing about the good old days when we had to actually diet and exercise to whittle away those extra pounds gained from beer and late night pizza runs, if miracle cures such as the new “lipodissolve” actually work.

Apparently, this procedure is being marketed towards people that are “too busy to exercise.” Come on, is anyone really that busy…or just extremely lazy? Lipodissolve consists of a …

Being a calorie conscious college girl made it hard for me to slurp down alcohol without feeling even the smallest pang of remorse for all of the empty calories I was ingesting. Hitting up the school gym on a regular basis made that guilt slightly less. After a big night of parties, nothing made me feel better than sweating it out on the treadmill. Even though I’m sure the calorie exchange was not equal (i.e. I consumed more than I …

Yes, it’s true, the period from late December to Valentines Day is officially known as National Break-up Season. According to a study done by Yahoo, couples are twice as likely to think about breaking up now compared to any other time during the year. And speaking from personal experience, as a case study of this break-up phenomenon who has recently become single for the first time in awhile, it’s true.

I realized that my situation was not just an …

Although some girls may argue that finding love and being in a relationship rank number one on every “normal” girl’s priority list, a recent trend shows a lot of young women are starting to wake up and avoid making career mistakes like that of Lauren Conrad from the Hills. For those who don’t remember, or the 2% of college girls out there that don’t watch the show, she chose to move in with a boy (which didn’t work out, surprise …
