Ode to the Bro’ Style: A Broem by a Chick
For all the dudes out there that can’t stand poetry, there’s a new art form for you. It’s called Broetry. Yes, poems for bros. Popular broet Brian McGackin has compiled a collection of his own works in a book cunningly titled Broetry, which he calls a “literary chili cheeseburger.”
WTF Friday: Really? In a Public Pool?
I get it. It’s hot. It’s so hot that you’re willing to take a dip in your town’s public pool. That’s okay, a little pee in the pool has never hurt anyone. But you know what does hurt people? Sex in the pool.

Are You An Annoying Couple?
Everyone has either been a part of, party to, possible enabler of, and/or wished they had food poisoning in the presence of, that couple. We’ve all encountered that couple. It’s hard to find the right adjective to adequately ascribe to them. I mean, seriously, whenever you think of them you just think of them as that couple.
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.
Tricks and Tips to Feeling Confident in Your Swimsuit
It’s time. That moment when you are standing on the beach, or a yacht in Miami if you’re annoying and you have to find a sexy way to take off your maxi dress (which sounds impossible might I add) and debut your healthy and freckle-less skin. To the rays of sunshine. And all of the men ogling at your fun bags and all the girls admiring your creativity to mix-match your Target swimsuit.

Baggin’ Out: Volcom According to You Bag
Not only do I currently work in an office (okay, it’s an Athletic’s office, but still!), but I’m also working in a few psychology labs this year for course credit. That means potentially dealing with participants and clients, so I need to dress business-casual at all times. I have a few bigger, business-y bags, but not many. So I set out for a business-casual purse that I could bring to a lab and stuff silly with all my textbooks. Behold, the Volcom According to You bag!

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?
Sexy Time: Let’s Stop Stigmatizing STDs
I’m sure we’re all aware of the shame and stigma associated with sexually transmitted diseases and infections. I mean, you’d have no qualms sharing that you missed class the other day because you had a cold and wanted to get it checked out. But how comfortable would you be sharing that you skipped class the other day to pick up antibiotics for your chlamydia infection?
5 Celebs That Are Probably Tons of Fun
Even though we stalk the sh*t out of our favorite celebs all day long and plaster pictures of them all over our rooms, you could say that we don’t really know them at all. What if you met Bradley Cooper in real life and he just kinda sucked? I know I would be sad, but at least he’s still beautiful so it wouldn’t really matter.
33 Celebridogs!
Isn’t it just the cutest thing when celebrities tune out of their crazy lifestyle to spend time with their furry companions? Even though they have to put on some ridiculous disguise just to walk their pup around town, I don’t think there’s anything more adorable than seeing Ryan Gosling carry his dog, George, through the airport or watching Nick Jonas kiss his Golden Retriever, Elvis, on the forehead.
Ask A Dude: Why Do Guys Show Interest Then Bail?
Welcome to “The Dude Code.” Here, we’ll decipher the age old mystery of how a guy can seem completely consumed with interest and then vanish into the abyss of ass*oles without so much as a post-it note: “I’m sorry. I can’t. Don’t hate me.”
In Our Makeup Bag: Liz Earle Toner & Moisturiser
Clear skin is truly key in any beauty routine. If your base isn’t good, your makeup can only go so far. Washing your face thoroughly and targeting your skin’s problems is necessary. And quality skin care products are just as important as quality makeup!
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Leighton Meester is Pretty in Peach
I’ve gushed about Leighton Meester before, but what can I say, I have my faves (I even paid to see Monte Carlo the weekend it came out…and legitimately enjoyed every cheesetastic second of it). I fell totally head over heels for the outfit Leighton recently wore on the set of Gossip Girl.
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)
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.
