You’ve got your mattress cover, your mini-fridge, your XL twin sheets, and lots of garbage bags, but there is a whole category of dorm room essentials you are skipping out on.  DORMWEAR.  Because, if you’re like me, no matter how hard you try and fight the stereotypical college student walking round in pajamas and sweats thang, there are times you will break down.

I by no means encourage you to wear your sweats and pajamas out in public EVER, but a dorm is a whole other realm of the world.  Having cozy loungewear comes in handy when you want to fist-pump with the rest of your floor while catching the newest Jersey Shore episode.  It’s also handy when you need to do the L in GTL – because everything else you own is stuffed inside that hamper.

But don’t be fooled. Just because you’re lounging doesn’t mean you need to look like a slob. There are so many cute and cozy items out there for you to lounge around in.

And they’re perfect for sleepy time, too. If you’re sharing a bedroom, the person 10-feet away from you will appreciate you wearing pajamas to bed.  And if you’re a sleep-in-a-shirt and underwear kind of girl, try keeping a few of these pieces near your bed in case someone pulls the fire alarm in the middle of the night.  You’ll thank me for this advice later.  Trust me.

Love it, hate it or live it, there’s no denying that Jersey Shore fever has swept the nation. You better believe I almost went into full-on, panic attack, shortness of breath and reaching to call 911 on my duck phone for assistance when I saw the 10 minute preview of Jersey Shore 2. Point blank: It looks friggin’ amazing.

Okay, admittedly, I may have a slight infatuation (obsession?) with this show to the point of concern. Let’s just say, I filled out an application in my boyfriend’s name and submitted his photos to the casting company for Jersey Shore. They haven’t stopped calling him since that day. That day was in January. Regardless, I love this show. I think it eliminates all the phony and glossed over drama we see on the Hills, Gossip Girl and every other show geared toward 15-25 year old females. It’s raw, it’s raunchy, it’s the show you love to hate but can’t help but DVR every week.

Let’s count down the reasons I’m counting down to the premiere on July 29th: Read More »

It is that time of year folks; time to dig out your flippy floppies, cut-offs and prance off to class in a spring air bliss.  Seriously, this time of year makes me feel like writing poetry, listening to Bon Jovi , and sparking up conversation with the campus squirrels. Yep, spring makes me so beyond happy, it is borderline frightening. Spring is most definitely, in the air.

But before we bust out the Franzia and slap the bag on the porch, let’s look at the week that was:

- The government is putting a wrench in the ‘T’ of ‘GTL.’ We looked at how Jersey Shore is paying for our health insurance.

- Oh college hook-ups. Did you ever think about what it would be like with the opposite…er…same sex? We did, and didn’t find it so bad.

- As if you need an extra reminder that Ellen Degeneres is the absolute bomb.com, we’ve got you covered.

- We looked forward to the awesome TV coming our way this spring.

- We had the (absolutely amazing) opportunity to chat it up with Jason Wade, lead singer of Lifehouse.

- In our lovely edition of Cosmo Says the Darndest Things, we learn the silly reasons he must be hiding his deepest of secrets.

- We wondered why Tina Fey and Lea Michele are considered ugly and if their characters are good or bad for women. Read More »

It looks like America’s favorite Guidos and Guidettes want to be remembered for more than just GTL, fist-pumping and grenades. Now this Slammin’, Sausage Eatin’ Seven is branching out into the business world.  We’ve all heard about J-Woww’s clothing line, and now The Situation is also trying to cash in on his fame.  I know I’m not the only one who’d never purchase anything from J-Woww designs (unless it was for the Jersey Shore themed parties that are becoming so popular on campus), and I can’t imagine a Mike Sorrentino cologne being any more desirable.

The Situation wants his scent to smell like money. Yes, money. But when I think of El Situacion, the first scent that comes to mind is a gross combination of tanning oil, gym sweat, and herpes. Vom.  I mean, is there really a market for guys that want to smell like a douche bag?

And what’s next? A hair product line by Pauly D? Brass knuckles by Ronnie? A Snooki pickle line?

I’m all about making the big bucks, but maybe these Guidos should stick to what they know best: selling t-shirts and smushing women on the boardwalk.

With word that the fun-loving, tan-tastic kids of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ are renegotiating their contracts so that they earn $10,000 per episode in a new season, a few thoughts went through our mind. Firstly: Damn, that’s a lot of money (though with their ratings, we say they deserve it whether they’re buffoons or not). And secondly … what could/should they buy with their newfound wealth?

So, we broke down what could be purchased with one episode’s paycheck ($10k), including some recommendations we think would benefit their next summer in Seaside Heights. Read More »

Looks like MTV has got themselves a Situation.

The fist-pumping “guidos” and “guidettes” of the overnight sensation Jersey Shore are demanding more money for a second season of GTL and hair-poufing.  But wait a sec! Is MTV actually threatening to replace them with new overly muscular guys and shiny orange girls?

The answer is yes. According to TMZ, the network has offered each star $10,000 per episode for the second season and it’s not enough for our favorite juice-heads. I can totally see why; not only are gym memberships and tanning packages expensive, but these kids made a lot of money for MTV and they know it. Now that they’re so big (even Leo DiCaprio knows what GTL is!), they are in a position of power and can demand a whole lot more.

Or so they think.
Rumor has it, if our little Guidos don’t agree to the deal MTV will be replacing them. Read More »
