Say whaaaat? Look, my “healthy” snacks barely make it under a hundred calories. How in the world can my dinner top that?

Introducing one of my absolute favorite foods – spaghetti squash. Now, this gourd was introduced to me about a year ago, but I never actually bought into it. I thought it was just another one of those healthy food items that tasted really bland and would just be a phase. Boy, was I wrong!

It’s called spaghetti squash because it is the perfect substitute for pasta. It has a medium-heavy texture that looks like spaghetti and tastes a little sweet. Want to know the best part? Here are the nutrition facts for one cup of this delicious squash:

42 calories, 0g fat, 10g carbs, 2g fiber, and 1g protein

Ummm, amazing! It tastes great paired with marinara sauce and turkey meatballs. Due to my crazy work out schedule, I have to eat more than one cup (which is a huge splurge, I know) but it’s so fulfilling. If you ever have a food cheat day, this will easily put you back on track.

I’m not a homemaker, so anything that involves lots of preparing and waiting is not my thing. Fortunately, it’s super easy to make this. Here’s the quick and easy!

1. Purchase spaghetti squash. It’s only $2.99 at Trader Joe’s and I think it turns out to be a similar price at other supermarkets.

2. Cut the squash in half or poke 10 holes in it. If you can get it to cut open, it will look like a pumpkin inside. Simply pull out all of the seeds.

3. MICROWAVE it! I know, right? It’s like making cup of noodles. Microwave the whole squash on high for about 15-17 minutes (depending on how big the squash is). You can also steam or bake it, but it takes much longer.

4. Take it out of the microwave. Use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash. It will come out in strands, just like spaghetti! So fun. It’ll be extremely hot, so just be careful.

5. Serve with marinara sauce, meatballs or sauce up your own creation.

So easy, right? I’m not skipping any steps – I promise! Try your miracle 100-calorie dinner and let me know what you think. I’m so addicted to it and I hope you love it too. Remember, a healthy body is comprised of 80% nutrition and 20% fitness. Fill your body with only the best.

Whitney Port is definitely my favorite blonde fashionista to come from The Hills (sorry, LC!) I’ve always admired her mix of boho, preppy, vintage, and contemporary pieces. She’s trendy, but still very much true to herself. Her looks are always fresh, never seem too contrived, and could easily be worn by an ordinary college girl.

Loves it.

Blazer, Pants, Ruffle Tank, Sandals, Bag, Necklace

Blazers have definitely remained a staple item in spring collections, but now they’re a little less structured and a lot more bright, including more colors and patterns. Striped blazers are casual, but still bold enough to add a little extra visual interest, especially when combined with a ruffled tank, which always looks cute when peeking out from underneath.

Now, I must confess something – I had never seen ruched pants before seeing this photo. I don’t think I’d ever even heard of them. I feel like my fashion blogger card should be revoked. I mean, ruche is everyone else these days – shirts, dresses, purses, shoes…why not pants? While Whitney makes these look amazing, I’m sure they could easily be hot mess central. These work because they’re a basic black, so the ruching isn’t too overpowering, but still more interesting than a pair of skinny jeans.

Silver sandals are a great addition, as they’re shiny, kind of glam, but still perfect for everyday wear. And a black saddle bag is great for carrying around your entire life without being too bulky. Perfect.

Whitney may not be the best fashion designer, but her personal style is always inspiring.

[It's a new year (which I am having trouble remembering when I have to write the date on anything), meaning it's the perfect time to wipe that slate clean and start anew. And we're gonna help you out. Every Thursday in January we're bringing you advice from experts on ways to improve yourself and your life. From mental health to making the most of your workspace, we'll all work together to get our lives, health and GPAs back on track. First we feng shui-ed our rooms to make them happier, more productive places. Then we centered ourselves so we could handle whatever comes our way. Now let's get our finances in order with Fool.com's Dayana Yochim.]

Let’s face it, “the talk” is awkward for everyone: You, picturing your parents at your age; your parents trying to cover all the bases (protection, safety, responsibility and the long-term consequences of your young-adult actions) before letting you leave the nest.

You know we’re talking about the “money talk,” right?

What’s the big deal? Well, unlike the mechanics of procreating (which, if you’re reading this, we can assume your mother and father mastered at least once), there’s a good chance that your parents made a mess of their own finances back in the day. They might even feel like they’re still unqualified to offer sage advice. After all, this stuff isn’t taught in most schools, which leaves most folks learning money lessons the old-fashioned – and very expensive – way: At the school of hard knocks.

I’m here to do your folks a solid and give you six money management tips that will help you avoid graduating with a major financial hangover.

1. Sweat the big stuff.
Here’s something you won’t hear from most money gurus: Go ahead, enjoy your daily latte. If that’s what gives you the will to face each morning, then far be it from me to admonish you to skip it and sock away that $3 daily splurge into a savings account.

The gurus will point out that your small indulgence robs you of a $1,000-plus in savings annually. I’ll point out that denial and deprivation is what leads to spending benders that can put you in the hole for a lot more than a thousand smackaroos.

The trick to having your latte and enjoying it guilt-free is to slash your spending on big-ticket items to free up cash for that coffee (or whatever small treat brings you joy). In other words, sweat the big stuff – find cheaper alternatives or price-cutting strategies for the those double-, triple- and quadruple-digit expenses.

For example, if you brought your car to campus but never drive it, return it to your parents’ driveway and tell your insurer to slash your premiums. That’s hundreds of dollars in savings right there. Rent your textbooks instead of buying them outright. According to Chegg.com, the average student saves $2,000 over the course of their college career by renting books they don’t intend to keep after they graduate.

2. Don’t bother with budgeting.
Sounds like heresy, right? Okay, it was a bit of a bluff. But the truth is that “spending plan” sounds a lot more palatable than “budget,” right? So think of your – ahem – spending plan as a guide to making sure you have enough money at the end of the week to go out dancing (or whatever it is you kids do these days).

Your spending plan can be as high-tech or low-tech as you want:

High-tech: Mint.com is a free tool that links up with your accounts (just to get the balances; it doesn’t allow any transactions to be made) that can keep you up-to-date on your every dollar move.
Low-tech: The envelope budgeting approach is like an instant spending plan. The idea is that you carry around just the amount of cash you want to devote to various spending categories (lunch, entertainment, cute shoes) for that week. If the envelope is empty before it’s time to re-fill, you’ll need to start getting creative with ramen noodle recipes.

There’s no right or wrong way to do it – just use whatever method works best for you.

3. Say “no” to plastic.
Lucky you, it’s a lot harder these days to get a credit card than it was for last year’s incoming freshman. Seriously, the new laws that prevent anyone under the age of 21 from getting a credit card in their own name without proof of income or an adult co-signer is going to save you years of financial trauma.

Ask just about any grownup about their biggest financial regret from college and the answer will be: “Plastic.“ (I know people in their 30s still paying down debt they rang up when they were co-eds. We’re talking about pizzas that end up costing hundreds of dollars because of the interest that racked up over the years.) Don’t be in such a rush to prove that you‘re creditworthy. Building credit takes time. Ruining your credit is a piece of cake.

All that said, mom and dad may want you to have a plastic safety net for emergencies (e.g. actual “I‘m stranded roadside and need to pay for a tow“ emergencies, not “awesome sale at Abercrombie!” quote-unquote emergencies). If so, here’s a 60-second crash course on credit — how to establish a squeaky-clean credit and avoid the shackles of debt.

4. Avoid late fees like the plague.
It’s one thing to sleep through a Tuesday morning biology lecture. It’s another to hit snooze when bills and other time-sensitive money matters come due. Your mea culpas are no good in the real world. (And, no, last-minute cramming won’t get the electricity turned back on.) Messing up leaves a mark – and this time, it’s your money and reputation that’s on the line.

- Make a few too many ATM withdrawals this week? Feast your eyes on the litter of rubber checks and overdraft fees multiplying in front of your very eyes! (The remedy: Sign up for low-balance alerts. And decline pricey overdraft protection programs and link your checking account to a savings account or just let the bank deny purchases you don’t have the cash to cover.)
- What’s another late payment to Visa? Yet another late-payment fee as well as a nasty bruise on your credit report that won’t completely fade away for the next seven years. (Just automate your payments so at least a check for something is in the mail on time every month.)
- Watch in amazement as that crumpled $25 parking ticket at the bottom of your messenger bag morphs into a $100 one (special for last-minute callers: a free lovely safety-yellow car boot!).

If that’s not enough to convince you to hit your due-date deadlines, then think about what you could have done with the money you instead blew on $35 late fees, $20 expedited payment surcharges and $100 fines for defacing campus property.

5.     Mooch rides as much as possible.
It’s not just about saving money on gas. If you’re under the age of 25 insurance actuaries assume you’ve got a lead foot and an “I Drive Like I am Invincible” bumper sticker. Maintaining a clean driving record (for at least three years), and paying for small claims out-of-pocket are still the best ways to keep insurance costs in check until you age into better rates.

However, there are some ways that college students can still drive a better car insurance bargain. Let your insurer know if:

- You’re parking or garaging the car in a different location (a low-crime zip code or secure garage, for example)
- Acing your finals. Good grades may earn you a “good student” discount on your premium
- Are in the market for renter’s insurance (if your stuff isn’t covered under your parent’s homeowner’s policy). Buying coverage from the same insurer can cost less than purchasing separate plans from different companies.

6. Bonus tip!: Make everyone wonder if your new beau just loves you for your money.
You’re young, scrappy, and while you might not have a lot of extra money lying around, you do have one thing in spades: Time.

Time is an investor’s best friend. And right now you’ve got enough of it to make your elders spitting jealous. (Most elders will say that the second biggest financial regret behind racking up credit card is not starting to save and invest sooner. Seriously, just ask.) When you’re young you have time to weather the stock market’s ups and downs. You have time to let whatever money you can squirrel away compound and multiply.

While that $2,000 you saved on textbooks is indeed a lot of beer money, what if I told you it could be worth $15 grand by the time your 25^th reunion rolls around — or grow to an extra $70,000 by the time you’re ready to retire. That’s the power of compound interest — a concept they do teach at colleges, but most students fail to put it to use in the real world when they have the chance.  (Here’s how to get started investing even if you have mere dollars to do it with.)

Make saving a lifelong habit by starting now. Get into the habit of watching expenses, saving and investing now while time is really, really on your side. The sooner you start building wealth the richer you’ll be in the end.

Confession: I miss hot-mess Nicole Richie. You know, 2003, fresh out of rehab, best friends with Paris Hilton, multi-colored, slightly raggedy extensions rocking, flashing boobies at fashion shows Nicole. I mean, sure, the babies are cute, her hair always looks silky and glorious, and the same antics that a 22-year-old engages in are a lot less cute in a 30-year-old. But still. I’m always a little bummed when not-Lindsay-tragic hot messes start domesticating themselves, because their uninhibited messiness is kind of admirable.

But it’s no big, because now I can admire Nicole for her banging sense of style. She’s the reason we all know who Rachel Zoe is, because Ms. Zoe is the one who gave Nicole a makeover even Cher Horowitz would be impressed by. And after Nicole became a style icon, suddenly every Hollywood starlet under the age of 30 was in Rachel’s care, but while they all looked like clones, Nicole always stood out. She has a strong sense of self that comes through in the outfits she wears, so while she may be uber trendy, she never looks dull or uninspired.

Shopping Info: Shorts, Shirt, Vest, Tights, Pumps.

Okay, upon first glance, you might look at this outfit and then give me major side-eye through your computer. It is one of those outfits that only someone who walks a red carpet regularly should be wearing, but I mean, college is basically Hollywood, and the quad/bar/classroom is your red carpet. This is the only time we can can get away with wearing anything we want before we eventually (economic climate permitting) acquire real jobs with enforceable dress codes. So why not take the opportunity to wear slightly crazy ish?

I completely love this whole “9000 ’80s trends threw up on me but I make it look hot anyway” aesthetic Nicole is rocking in this outfit. Adding pizazz to an oversized button down with a shiny black vest. Without a vest, this would still be a hot daytime look, but with this cute sequined one from Forever 21, now you’re ready for a chill night out. And I know I’m not the only one aching to rock some summer clothes, so why not throw on a pair of shorts (distressed or not) and winterize them with a pair of tights. This look is best with short-shorts, and luckily, every single store only seems to carry the hoochiest of shorts (or do I just have freakishly long legs? bah). Then, to add some major pizazz, throw on some suede stilettos, the highest ones you can teeter strut comfortably in, and bam, you’ve got yourself a super trendy, fun, fabulous outfit that Rachel Zoe would literally die over without her so-high-you’ll-die budget.

I have such a girl crush on Blake Lively and her sense of fashion it’s borderline unhealthy. She possesses an incredibly eclectic style that is grounded in a love of all colors, combining different textures, and emphasizing her 10 feet long stems and fabulous cleavage. I personally applaud the fact that she even wears clothes, because if I had her body, I would probably never not be naked. I’m just saying.

Anyway, so New Year’s Eve is over. The hangover has finally passed. You’ve been tagged in 100 photos, but only half of them are still associated with your name (there was no reason for the almost nip-slip or the midnight kiss with the random to be documented, right?). As you click through all the party photos, maybe you’re still in awe of the outfit you’ve put together, and how well it photographs. Maybe you’re wishing you could always be so sparkly. This week, I’d like to offer a resolution that would actually be fun to keep – incorporate more sequins into your wardrobe. Granted, my love of sequins is probably a little bit excessive, but seriously, why should sequins be reserved for New Year’s Eve and that one other random cocktail party you go to each year?

Try this Blake Lively inspired look on a random Thursday night, and see if you don’t feel approximately 30 times more excited about the night ahead of you.

Budget Shopping Deets: Button Down Shirt – 6pm.com, $25.08; Sequin Skirt – Forever 21, $17.80; Belt – ASOS, $10; Booties - Wet Seal, $17.25.

I am pretty infatuated with looks that have elements of menswear. I find them beyond sexy. So I’m totally loving the oversized button down. (Note: Although I’m not 100% sold on it peeking out the bottom of the mini-skirt….) Keeping the top 3 or 4 buttons open definitely shifts it away from masculine and more into “damn-she’s-a-sexy-bitch” territory. Add a simple nude belt around your waist to create a more feminine silhouette and pair it with a sassy black sequined skirt to add an uber-glam touch. These studded stiletto ankle boots add a touch of edginess that completely ties the look together. If you need some extra warmth, you can throw on your favorite black blazer/leather jacket, and get ready to turn some necks with this amazing outfit.

So what have these ladies learned from the unfortunate demise of their no-budget lifestyle? Here are their top 10 tips for saving money, without skimping on style:

1. Shop at stores like the Goodwill, Plato’s Closet or Buffalo Exchange. Get the whole stigma of wearing someone else’s hand-me-downs out of your brain. These stores sell gently used name brand clothing at very affordable prices. If you’re patient and open-minded, you can find really great and unique things for your ever expanding wardrobe.

2. Only buy sale items!! You’d be shocked to see how fast most items make their way to the sale rack. At the end of the day you will be happy you waited it out a bit when you get that sweater at 50% off.

3. Map out your shopping trip in advance! Every girl loves a day of shopping just for fun, but this often leads to unnecessary and impulse purchases. Knowing what you need (which is different than want or even “oh my god, I want that SO BADLY!”) before you hit the mall is a great way to curb a wandering eye!

4. Buy clothes out of season. (Especially the basics that you know you’ll need every season: t-shirts, tanks, solid sweaters, winter boots.) They are usually on sale!

5. Turn your old jeans into shorts for the summer season.  Hey, it worked for Jessica Simpson!

6.Turn in used clothing for money at consignment stores and places like the Goodwill or Buffalo Exchange. Beyond shopping at those stores, sell at them! They’ll either give you cash back on the spot or you can opt for a higher exchange rate for store credit. There isn’t a better deal out there.

7. Share clothing with family. Note: this is different than simply stealing from your mom’s closet when you’re home from college for a weekend. In our family, we share our clothing. And not only with each other, but our two younger sisters and our step-mom. It allows for more options, and hey, 5 closets are better than 1! If you don’t have siblings, just share with your friends. You’ll get double, triple or quadruple the wardrobe without spending a dime.

8. Leggings are good for any season and cheap! To make your summer clothes work year round, put leggings underneath shorts or a dress and viola, your summer clothes just turned into a winter outfit!

9. Set a budget monthly to avoid overspending on clothes. Yes, budgets are boring but they are also the best way to keep you honest….and out of debt. They are also the best way to get you really thinking about your shopping so you prioritize what you need, REALLY want and just sorta buy because it’s cute and you’re bored at the mall.

10. Avoid credit cards. And only bring enough cash with you to get what you need.  You can’t spend cash on random things if you don’t have it!

I adore Selena Gomez. Her face looks as if it were lifted from a porcelain doll. Her hair is so luminous and luxurious. Her music is perfect for those times when you’re dancing in front of the mirror in your PJs with your hairbrush (in contrast to those times when you’re dancing in front of the mirror in your highest stilettos and a bottle of Smirnoff). She is the personification of rainbows and unicorns and puppies and everything that is fluffy and G-rated in this world. I love it.

Selena’s style is just as unpretentious and down-to-earth as the rest of her image. She’s totally youthful, fresh, and laid back. She is that girl who swears she “isn’t even into fashion,” but she always looks current and hip, and you never see her wearing the same ensemble twice.

She is essentially every friend I’ve ever had and secretly resented totally admired.

Luckily, this easy-breezy style fits perfectly into the college style scene and, even better, is not at all difficult (or expensive) to emulate.

Product Information: Blazer, Sweater, Jeans, Boots, Scarf, Bag

Boyfriend blazers have been in for the past few seasons, and this fall is no exception. This particular one is corduroy, which is so quintessentially fall, and can be a staple for years to come. Adding a black/white shirt adds a little bit of flair to an overall very neutral outfit. You can throw on any sort of solid scarf, but I love the idea of mixing prints in the same color family for a little extra visual interest. And don’t be afraid of pairing a black bag with brown boots. If Selena’s outfit teaches us anything it’s that it can totally work.

This is such a great look because it’s fashion-forward but still sticking with clothes you most likely already own. By mixing and matching colors that clash, but still fall under the realm of “neutral”, you can create an adorbz look that is so easy to customize and personalize.

For most normal college grads, the time directly after the cap tossing/couch burning/heavy drinking of graduation weekend comes a period of extreme depression mixed with a tinge of confusion that leads many to make rash decisions.

For some, this means getting a job in Investment Banking or getting (gasp) engaged. For others, this means getting a pet.

Whatever choice they make it is important to remember that college does nothing to prepare us to make such decisions, or for any sort of real life interactions and experiences after we move out of our student housing, clutching our hard earned (ha!) degree.

So, for those of you just entering college or currently enjoying the amazingness that it is, allow me, a recent college finisher, to shed some light and expose the truth.

College is awesome.
College is drunk.
College is staying up all night in the library trying to find someone to hook up with in the stacks.
College is all about making friends and doing stupid things together.

College, however, is not about preparing you for life. Below is a list of things that four (or five/six/seven if you are smart) years in higher education neglect to teach you:

1. Relationships: Late night booty calls? Open relationships? Drunken mistakes? Not only were these accepted in college, they were celebrated: “You hooked up with three guys in one night?! I’ll drink to that!” Not in the real world, people. Apparently staying monogamous is huge out here in the land of taxes and mortgages. Take it from me, going on a date with one guy and going home with another is frowned upon out here.

Not that I stopped…I just get frowned at a lot.

2. Responsibility: “Sorry, I was totally wasted” is not a valid excuse when you forget to file your taxes or pay your electricity bill. News to me, of course, because that was my only excuse in college. “I slept with your boyfriend? Sorry, I was wasted.”

3. A Job: Sleeping through class is totally acceptable, especially if it is an Art History lecture. Sleeping through work is not, especially when you are an Emergency Room doctor.

4. Balancing a Budget: In college “balancing a budget” meant calling my parents and asking for more money. Now that I am in the real world, my parents have started this awful trend of saying “No” and “Get a job that pays instead of spending all your time writing for that dumb site” to my weekly money requests. In the two months since I left college I have grossed $232. On a lighter note, I have been to happy hour 40 times and have a fabulous new pair of jeans!

5. Starting a Family: College life consists of drinking till you pass out, sleeping through class, and cleaning your sheets when you accidentally wet the bed. Family life consists of waking up in the middle of the night to wait on a screaming baby, cleaning, cooking, and hanging a child off your breast for a year. Not only are we not prepared to start a family, but no normal college student would ever want to.

Don’t get me wrong; college teaches us many things. Just be warned that a degree in Art History with a minor in Psychology is going to do nothing in the ways of preparing you for life on the dark side… er… life in the real world.

Likey? There’s more. Check out some of our favorite posts!

Unfortunately the classes that actually will help you down the road are few and far between.  Sure math is important and English is pretty essential, but what about:

Intro to Hangovers on the Job
So you went on a weeknight bender and now you’re dealing with the aftereffects.  The real world isn’t like college where you can just curl into the fetal position, skip class, and ride out the storm.  Oh no.  You’ve gotta put on that pencil skirt, slide on those pumps, and look like you’re ready to get sh*t done.  Do you know how to not puke in a board meeting?  Or how about not falling asleep on your keyboard?  Skipping greasy hangover brunch?  This class would open your eyes to all those things and more.

Whole Foods is Not Your Friend
When I graduated college, I was set on “being an adult”.  And what spells out “adult” more than Sunday trips to the organic market where you store up on granola and fresh-baked muffins and wild salmon?  Unless Martha Stewart is coming to dinner (or footing the bill), go to the cheapy place around the corner and buy Cheerios like everyone else.  Someone needs to tell you your small salary will quickly deplete with these new dietary extravagances and you’re seriously never going to make that salmon.

Dating 101
We’ve said it before; dating post-college is a horse of a different color.  The rules change.  The guppies in the pond are suddenly suit-and-tie-wearing fish in a sea of beer that costs more than a dollar.  Guys’ backgrounds are a lot more difficult to suss out.  When you meet someone, you can’t just run to his frat bros and ask for his romantic resume.  Dating in the real world actually requires work (and a working knowledge of Google).  The books for this class would be invaluable resources and you’d keep your notes forever.

Graduate Level Facebook
You hear it all the time, but the things you post on Facebook in your naive collegiate years need to be filtered out as soon as that diploma is hanging on your wall (or shoved in the back of that closet).  That picture of you slung over a bouncer’s shoulder needs to be immediately untagged, as does the one of you making out with your roommate’s little brother.  Employers don’t want to know how great you are at beer pong or how many condoms you can drunkenly steal from Student Health.  Paying attention in this class is mandatory for anyone who doesn’t want to be a member of Future Degenerates of America.

Living at Home for Beginners…Again
In this economy, it happens.  Regardless if you simply couldn’t find employment right off the bat or are looking to save a little cash on rent, moving home can be a necessary evil.  Re-assimilating into domestic life can be a tough one, full of screaming matches of over unmade beds and messy bathrooms.  “I’m not your maid!”  Get comfortable with that phrase, because your mother will be tossing it at you quite a bit.  Learn early on to pick up your socks and not come home wasted and the sailing should be marginally smoother.

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble (even for comfy, everyday outfits!) you don’t have to. All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire look. For cheap. Yes, we know - there is a spot for her in heaven.]

I’m convinced Blake Lively is one of those women who was genetically engineered to make 90 percent of the female population feel woefully inferior in one way or another. Her hair, her figure, her relationship with Anna Wintour, her relationship with Penn Badgley, her thriving acting career, her work wardrobe, her beautiful personal style… there’s something for everyone to hate on.

And the worst part is, she has the audacity to seem really sweet and fun, so you can’t even really hate her. In short, she is perfect.

And so is this outfit.

Skinnies, Tunic, Cardigan, Boots, Bag

This outfit is all about the details. How else could Blake mix a variety of neutrals to construct a stylish, but super low key ensemble (and not look like a big, gray storm cloud)? It’s so simple yet so chic….and so easy to recreate for a college girl on a budget.

Combining an oversized, drapey cardigan with some skinny jeans makes this outfit casual without being sloppy. And all the fun details – from the slight sheen on the tunic to the lace up booties that match the sweater to the studded bag – make this more than just your typical, everyday casual look.

Blake’s ensemble is comfy, cute and cozy; perfect for a crisp fall day or a chilly winter night.
