    College Candy Takes Back the Word Spinster

    We’re at our wit’s end with this country and their improper use of the word spinster. Once, a very long time ago (or maybe not a very long time ago, I’m no history buff), the word spinster actually meant something. And that something was NOT an unmarried woman living with cats. It was a woman who spun — and as a country we owe these original spinsters a big apology for stealing their professional title and turning it into something dirty.

  • Getting Over The Death Of An Ex

    Getting Over The Death Of An Ex

    You know that guy you casually dated for a few months a few years ago? That guy you really, really, really liked but you didn’t know how he felt so things just never worked out for you two? And then after things ended, you were both really awkward around each other but you always wanted another chance with him? Imagine if he died, completely unexpectedly.

  • Happy Birthday, Barack Obama!

    Happy Birthday, Barack Obama!

    Obama has endured a ton of criticism in his presidency. While I proudly voted for him in 2008, I will freely admit that I feel he’s dropped the ball on important issues. That said, today is his birthday, and I’d like to take a moment to point out some of the great things he has done in the last 2.5 years.

    Behind the Scenes with Celebs’ Nannies

    It seems like we’re constantly ooh-ing and ahh-ing over those cute celebri-kids hanging out with their famous ‘rents. But then we notice the giant designer purses, skinny jeans and 4 inch heels some of these moms are wearing. Or the general look of disinterest on these dads’ faces. Are these people really looking after their kids, or are they just in it for the family photo op?

  • Is Kate Middleton Responsible for The World’s Body Image Issues?

    Is Kate Middleton Responsible for The World’s Body Image Issues?

    Ever since Kate Middleton stepped into the public eye, there has been much scrutiny surrounding her weight. The 5 foot 10 in. tall duchess is rumored to weight in at just under 100 lbs which, according to her BMI of 14.35, is seriously underweight. (Anything under 18.5 for women is considered underweight.) Now, once again, everyone is worried about young girls and how they’re going to respond to Kate Middleton’s body.

  • Men Are Dirty

    Men Are Dirty

    And I don’t mean dirty in a good way. I mean gross, like they don’t wash things. And I’m not just making this up because I know a few dirty boys. Clorox did a study and found the proof. Here’s a few reasons why men are disgusting…

  • The Ultimate Dorm Hall

    The Ultimate Dorm Hall

    Who lives on your hall in the dorms can make or break the experience. For example, if your neighbor consistently knocks on your door asking if you can turn down your TV while you’re just trying to watch Fresh Prince, you will probably want to pull out your own hair and slap the neighbor in the face by the end of the first week. But there’s always the chance that you’ll somehow end up with the most amazing people on your hall, and your year will magically turn into the best college experience anyone has ever had. That’s right people, the kids on your hall can make all the difference.

  • The Dehumanization of Celebrities

    The Dehumanization of Celebrities

    I don’t know what it is about celebrities that makes us forget that they are actual people. Is it the over-the-top lifestyle? Is it the way they live their lives so openly in a way that would mortify most of us?

  • Welcome to the Real Word: No Such Thing as an Endless Summer

    Welcome to the Real Word: No Such Thing as an Endless Summer

    The best part of school is not going to school. Or so you thought, back in the days of recess, friendship bracelets and raising your hand to use the bathroom. The stray feigned sick day was enough to hold you over until you hit the real jackpot: summer vacation.

    23 Weird & Fun Facts About James Franco

    This mysterious actor always has some buzz surrounding his non-traditional lifestyle. From an admirable yet incessant desire to learn (the same thing, over and over again) to his choice not to sleep (but then to fall asleep unexpectedly and have his photo taken), it’s always left us wondering: what’s this guy’s deal?

  • The Celeb Secret That No One Wants To Talk About

    The Celeb Secret That No One Wants To Talk About

    Ever stop and wonder who these people are that camp out in front of the celebrity homes, waiting for them them to emerge, on the slight chance that they could snap a pic that could possibly be worth thousands of dollars? Ever ponder if those people actually know when the celebs are coming out of their homes? Uh huh, I do too. Don’t you think it’s weird that the paparazzi always know when Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez are going to kiss, or where Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are going to be shopping today, or what time Shia LaBeouf is going to take out his trash tonight?

  • Liar Liar(exic)

    Liar Liar(exic)

    There’s a new buzzword in town: Liarexic. Apparently the dozens of other “exic” expressions just weren’t getting it done, so someone decided to throw this one into the mix. Because what’s an eating disorder without a proper classification? This “new” disorder is meant to address people who lie about their food intake.
