8 Essential “Smart” Books You Should Read For Fun
The hype surrounding the On the Road movie got us thinking about books we read in school. There’s nothing that kills a great book quite as much as a boring high school English class. But it turns out that lots of the books your high school teachers made you read were pretty awesome. On the Road is one of them. Here are 8 more books you probably got assigned in school that are worth a second look if you skipped over them the first time.
Fashion Inspired by The Hunger Games
I’m definitely planning on seeing the Hunger Games. It looks pretty awesome from the preview clips that are floating around the internet right now. And to get ready for the premiere, our friends over at College Fashion have put together some great fashions inspired by the movie.
Friends With Kids Looks Awesome…and Predictable [Video]
The trailer for Friends with Kids came out today and it includes an all-start ensemble cast of hilarious people. Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, and Maya Rudolph alone make me want to buy a ticket right now. Throw in a few people from left field like Adam Scott (hello Parks and Rec people making it big) and Edward Burns and I’m already waiting in line at the theater.
An Open Letter to Sex & The City
We city dwellers and big-city hopefuls would greatly appreciate it if you didn’t create another Sex & The City movie. Ever heard the term “three’s a crowd?” Yeah, well, however cliché it may sound, it’s incredibly appropriate for your dreams of a potentially disastrous third movie. So, since we’ve been hearing rumors that it’s a possibility, we thought it was a good time to sit down and talk.

Dear John, I Want To See You
Tomorrow’s a big day. The big day. The day that I’ve been dreaming about for months. Yes ladies, tomorrow marks the release of Dear John and I. just. can’t. wait.
Save The Planet, One Snack at a Time
As I was researching for what was supposed to be a post on green snack foods, I realized just how eco-harmful the food industry can be. Looking at Newsweek’s Green Rankings for 2009, only 28 of the top 500 companies are from the food and beverage industry. Yes, a measly 5%. Plus, the best ranking food company (Brown and Forman) ranks in 374th place overall! In other words, the large-scale food industry blows.
Pull Yourself Out of That Rut!
For a few weeks, I was in a rut – a big, blah rut that I couldn’t seem to find my way out of. I was grouchy, apathetic, and basically bored with everything. My self-esteem was not at its usual high-point, and I had no idea what the heck was wrong with me.
Let It Rock: Which Way Do You Love It?
Chris Daughtry I love in a good-boy rocker kind of way. Jack White I love in a creepy weirdo fascination kind of way. And the 500 Days of Summer I love in a Zooey Deschanel kind of way. I love music in lots of different ways and this week is a prime example of how much my love can vary.

I Love You, Man: If The Tables Were Turned
I Love You, Man was funny (duh). It made me laugh till I peed a little and also reaffirmed my love for Jason Segel. Any man who can make fun of man Uggs but still pull them off gets bumped up on my list. For real. (P.S. Jason, I’m a NJG (Nice Jewish Girl); call me. My mom makes a mean matzo ball soup. True story.)
High School Movie Heaven: Part 1
We curl up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, a Diet Coke and soak up every minute of teenage nostalgia, especially the angst-y, heartbreak-y, hormone-driven parts that come with the High School Movie.
