The Real Way vs. the College Way: Theme Parties
There are always those girls who will use any excuse to get a little skanky, and college parties are generally their go to moment. Halloween is the one night a year Theme parties are the few nights a month when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it… Well, only a few snarky comments anyway.
Campus Landmines Waiting to Blow Up Your Relationship
When you’re dating someone new, it’s obviously good advice to be wary of their exes. But since college is a fishbowl, exes aren’t the only type of people you need to be worried about. There’s tons of people who can make your life as miserable as possible or just ruin it all together.

Fashion Innovations We’ll Love Forever
As industy “pros” weigh in on what premiering styles they’re excited for, I say, “Guess what, fashion weeks? We don’t need these crazy, new high-fashion designs!” We have the old ones. These past innovations are taken for granted now, but they still remain a college girl’s best friends. I can’t even remember how I lived before…
17 Reasons Why Pippa Middleton is Better Than You
Our friends at Tres Sugar outlined the 10 signs they’re crazy about Pippa (And did a great job- bringing back nude tights? That’s no small feat!), but we thought we might one-up them. Or rather, seven-up them. After taking a long look in the mirror (and crying over our flat butts), we present to you the 17 Reasons Why Pippa Is Better Than You…and us.
Movies That Were Good As A Kid, But Kind of Suck Now
Movies are all magical when you’re a kid. Things are on screen, and they’re moving, and a lot of times they have jokes that you think are absolutely hilarious and repeat thousands of times a day for weeks after seeing the movie. At least that’s what the kids I babysit do. But that’s beside the point.
Hot Men Laboring (Happy Labor Day!)
It’s Labor Day so we simply could not resist putting up smoking pictures of men, well, laboring. We really don’t need an excuse to drool over sexy men, but this was just too easy. Please kick back, grab a beer, and celebrate your day off with these hard working hunks.
The Most Uncomfortable Clothing Ever
Even though most people claim to dress with their personal comfort as a priority, I think it’s safe to say that fashion trends are never based on how “comfortable” an item is, but how original and flattering the piece is to the body. Sure, beauty requires a little pain, but some of the things people wear today are not only unfashionable, but they’re also super uncomfortable.

Five College Rankings We Actually Care About
Newsweek just released their 2011 college rankings, and they’re pretty useless for prospective students. Top Schools for Activists? Boring. Best Schools for Foreign Students? I could just study abroad. Most Rigorous? Why would I want to challenge myself? Here are five categories that Newsweek should have included on their list that prospective students would actually need to know about.
College Students Blame These 8 Things On The Alcohol
A presentation by the American Psychological Association on college drinking recently released some statistics that may make you spit our your beer: 1. College students intend to drink to get drunk, and 2. College students use alcohol as an excuse for hooking up. Yeah. When I said you were going to spit out your beer, I meant because you’d be laughing with me.
The Best College Loungewear
Living in a dorm means that your mom and dad aren’t the only ones who’ll see you in your flannel onesie. The days of absolute privacy are likely behind you. Even when you’re planning a hermit study day, someone will usually stop by your room. Or there will be a fire drill. Or you might have to make a quick run to the basement for laundry. Or to the computer lounge to print something. Or to the grocery store.
Saturday Flashback: Life Lessons from the Spice Girls
’90s parents all over the globe were distraught about their little girls being influenced by the Spice Girls. But almost fourteen years later, I still value the life lessons that I learned from their British Invasion. Their die-hard chanting of “girl power” ironically accompanied by their iconic minidresses is an attitude that I still channel to this day.

Old School School Supplies
Back in the good old days, returning to school meant one thing: new school supplies! Colorful binders, cool erasers and general shenanigans made going back to elementary school that much more exciting. Lisa Frank, how I’ve missed you. Now, if only I could justify purchasing gel pens and bright colored notecards for college…
