I get it, Kate Upton is hot. But hotness has its limits, and Kate is getting dangerously close to weird in the video she released for Easter. At first, I assumed the video was a commercial for something. And it is “presented” by Love magazine, so I guess it’s a promo of sorts for them. But it just keeps going and going. There’s no product here, only Kate Upton dancing around dressed as an Easter bunny. A very adult Easter bunny, of course.

This was the first time it really sunk in for me that Kate Upton is younger than I am. Not by that much, and she is over 18. But still, it made me feel weird to watch her dancing around in a barely-there bunny costume. Especially because Easter is a holiday that I associate so much with being a little kid. I don’t really do anything to celebrate Easter now, but when I was little, I loved it. I used to decorate eggs, get Easter baskets (candy!), and go on Easter egg hunts. So watching Kate Upton – and her very prominently displayed boobs – writhe around in Easter grass and decorate eggs really, really creeped me out. Read More »

I decided to go home for Easter weekend because most of my friends at school were dipping out to spend time with their families so I knew it would be a ghost town. My family doesn’t really celebrate Easter, but some of my friends from other schools mentioned they would be home as well. It’s always nice to see old friends. Well I got a text from one that said, “I want to do an adult Easter egg hunt. Somehow also made into a drinking game,” to which I replied, “Jello shots in plastic Easter eggs that we have to find!”

This isn’t the first time I’ve run into a let’s turn a holiday into a drinking game situation. We seem to create drinking games out of everything we can. I once played a Secret Life of the American Teenager drinking game, which didn’t end well for anyone. I love having a good time, and as a senior I seem to have reverted back to my freshman year habits of going out all.the.time and still making it to class. I’m having a lot of fun now because I know it won’t last when I have a real job and am too old to stay up past midnight. Read More »

If you are lucky and have a long weekend for Easter, I am jealous. My friends and I were reminiscing the other night about the epic Easter egg hunts we used to go on as kids, and it really made me miss those days. Remember when you were a little kid and holidays were so exciting? And getting lots of candy was the greatest thing ever?

Well, now you can recapture those days! Check out these awesome Easter crafts and celebrate like a little kid again. See the photos here, then head over to our Pinterest board for the directions.

Does anyone else find it creepy when kids are pictured with adults in costume? No, not always, but when the costume is something like the Easter bunny or a clown, the resulting picture is usually pretty creepy. There’s something about kids and full-grown adults in Easter bunny costumes that freaks me out a little. With Easter coming up, there are bound to be additions to this list, but here are some of the creepiest examples. If I was one of the kids in these pictures, I definitely would have cried. Wouldn’t you?

I wish I were still a small child, so that on Easter morning I could wake up to a basket full of candy. Alas, now I’m an adult, and I have to buy my own Easter candy. But that’s ok, because I can still enjoy the adorable animals that have somehow become the mascots of the holiday. To help you get ready for Easter this weekend, here are some adorable pictures of baby animals. Read More »

Happy Easter, College Candies!

I don’t know about you, but on a scale of early morning Church in panty hose to eternal bliss, Easter treats rank pretty freakin’ close to the top (and almost make putting on panty hose worth it). I’m not sure if it’s the pastel colors, the bunny shapes, or the peanut butter to chocolate ratio in those Reese’s eggs, but there’s just something special about the snacks that pop up this time of year.

And you know what’s even better? Getting to enjoy them without having to risk gaining the Freshman (or Sophomore/Junior/Senior/Super Senior/Depressed Grad) 15 with only a few weeks left in the school year. So I put the best of the best into this here gallery.

Enjoy.

Just don’t lick the screen; do you have any idea how hard that is to clean? (Note: I do. Don’t ask.)

Today is Good Friday, which for many Christians means the a day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. But that doesn’t mean the holiday is only for practicing Christians. Nope. Whether you’re celebrating the holiday for religious reasons or not, it’s a great reminder to turn your Good Friday into a GREAT FRIDAY. And let’s face it: with the spring semester quickly coming to a close, we all need a good 24 hours to just do something, anything, that doesn’t involve work or exams or extracurricular activities.

So here a few ideas to make those 24 hours blissful and entertaining!

1. Go on a reality TV binges
There’s really so much to choose from. Jersey Shore, My Life As Liz, or my personal favorite, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, or any other offshoot of that show that has to do with the Kardashians. (I simply love that family. They’re just too entertaining. It should be illegal…but I’m really glad it’s not.) There’s really nothing better than watching impossibly raunchy boys, a strong-willed indie redhead, or amazingly chic girls while lazing about on the couch with a bag of chips and a blanket. Nothing.

2. Check out a buy one, get one free at H&M
“Buy one get one,” “free,” and “sale” are three of my favorite phrases. They’re even better when they’re applied to stores I actually like shopping at! Like H&M, for example. Have you seen their spring line?! Gorgeous. Plus, they’re always having sales and discounts (and I’m sure they’re running an Easter sale today), so it’s hard not to feed into the shopping frenzy that leaves your wallet lighter and your hands heavier (bags don’t carry themselves, you know). Clothing is a necessity, after all! Read More »

I spy with my little eye a whole lot of pastels.

And no, I’m not talking about those tasty Cadbury mini-eggs (even though I’ve got plenty of those too – they’re so cheap after Easter!).

Pastels reminiscent of the colors of everyone’s favorite chocolate Easter treat have made their way onto store shelves and I am excited!  Pale blues, pinks, yellows, greens, etc. have a way of lifting the spirits, like a warm spring breeze or the smell of flowers on your way to class.

I love how pastels are shamelessly girly and flirty, especially when found in the form of ruffled tops or floral prints. But what I love even more is how seamlessly they work with edgier pieces, adding a feminine flair without making you look too sweet.  With pastels appearing on accessories, in makeup routines (pastel nails are perfect for even the most conservative setting!), and on many, many other items of clothing, there is no excuse not to add a few dainty pieces to your spring wardrobe. Here are a few of my favorite pastel incarnations. Just looking at them makes me yearn for a beer and a patio.

I don’t celebrate Easter, so I’m not 100% sure what the bunny is all about. But he’s not supposed to eat puppies and instill fear in children (and fully grown website editors) around the world, right? Because I’m scared. That bunny’s got crazy eyes.
