You probably have the day off today. If you don’t, you likely only have one or two classes to go to, so it’s like a day off (especially if you skip). Being that it’s Memorial Day, I got to thinking about things I think there should be memorials for, things that we college students love or can’t live without. Obvious things that won’t be on this list: Final exams, 7:30 a.m. classes and dining hall food.

Maybe with your day of freedom you can go outside and start building a memorial/statue/garden for these awesome things: Read More »

Lately I’ve been eating really bad food. I just graduated, moved to a new city and have zero dollars. My dinners have consisted of SpaghettiOs and macaroni & cheese. My lunch is a turkey sandwich. I thought that once I graduated my eating habits would change and I would no longer be living the college life. Wrong. My meals are almost exactly the same as what I ate in my dorm room.

So whenever I see a friend check in at an amazing restaurant on Foursquare or when my boredom leads me to Pinterest, I start to crave better food than SpaghettiOs and meatballs. Food like this: Read More »

Every day, I feel like I need to find SOMETHING to look forward to in order to get me through a long class or to motivate me to finish a 10-page paper. While I’m no celeb and can’t look forward to a Grammy after party or a five-course meal by a celebrity chef, I am a college student.

College students have pretty awesome lifestyles, and we have a lot of stuff to look forward to during the day, week or year. If you’re having a bad day and need some motivation, look forward to this: Read More »

In less than a month, I will be a college graduate. It seems like four days ago rather than four years ago that I went to my college’s orientation and had a panic attack about picking my major. Now I have panic attacks every day about my impending graduation/real world life.

There are so many things about graduating that scare me. I feel like there are a lot of adult things that I don’t know about yet that I will automatically need to know about right when I walk across the stage.

Can someone please teach me about this stuff in a month? Pretty please? Read More »

I am so jealous of all of the women in music right now. They are all gorgeous, talented (most of them) and they all have unique looks. But no matter how unique their look, these ladies always manage to look HOT.

I’ve found each woman’s hottest look ever. Try not to get too jealous when looking through these photos (remember they get the clothes for free, and I always tell myself that they probably look horrible when they don’t have their hair and make up done by professionals). Read More »

As a senior in college who is graduating in one month, I’ve spent a lot of time these past few weeks reflecting on my life. I’ve been thinking about all of the things I have never experienced in my pre-real world adult life.

I’m glad that I haven’t experienced some of these things, but I’m sad about the other ones. I feel like as a working adult, I won’t have the time to do these things, or it won’t be acceptable for an old, working woman to partake in these activities. Read More »

I will admit that I am not a rational human on my period. While many women like to say that they are completely functional and refuse to let their period mess with their mood, I will not say that because for me that’s not true. I turn into a crazy lady who wishes sweatpants were perpetually in style.

There are ten things that always happen to me when I am hanging with Aunt Flo (we’re BFF). While I know some of these things are typical to a lot of women, I hope the rest are too or else I’ll feel like a monster freak. Read More »

By the time you read this, I will be relaxing on the beach drinking margarita after margarita. I’ll be covered in tanning oil (I know, that’s bad for me), and rockin’ my brand new swimsuit. As a senior in college, I’ve experienced three awesome spring breaks so far, and I know how to make sure I have an AMAZING TIME.

Since I’m all about spreading the love, I want all of the CC readers to have an awesome time too. I’m not going to preach about safety because I’m sure you hear it enough and know not to drink and drive, but I am going to tell you how to prepare for spring break so you have the best one ever. So here it is from me, a spring break veteran, to you, a girl looking to have an awesome week away from classes, studying and waking up early. Read More »

While many of you may not have to go to class today, I do have to go to class. Why do I have to go to class on Mr. Washington’s birthday? Because my school obviously hates presidents, duh. But for those of you who have the day off, I have compiled a list of presdential themed things you can do today. You can also do these things if you decide to skip class (in honor of all the presidents, of course). Read More »

When the grey clouds start becoming a regular appearance in my weather pattern, I always find it harder to get out of bed, harder to smile and harder to step away from the pint of ice cream and brownie sundae waiting in my freezer. It’s days like these when not even Starbucks can cheer me up. So, because I always think ahead, I bought a day-by-day calendar all about being assertive and basically saying “No, thank you” more (but without the ‘thank you’ part).

And by “assertive,” I mean it’s filled with hysterical quotes about how it’s okay to be super-bitchy, because we all have those day/moments/weeks/lifetimes…when we need to insert an extra NO! into one thing or another. Or because we just need an excuse to make fun of the people still wearing leggings as pants.

So to help you out of this grey funk we all are stuck in, here is a weekly dose of the daily bitch. If this can’t encourage you to get out of bed and  go make fun of someone…I’m not sure what will… Read More »
