Having Trouble Choosing A Major?
You know those “What I Want to Be When I Grow Up” essays you were assigned in sixth grade? Some kids wrote about wanting to be a rock star, a teacher, a mailman, a professional Sega Genesis player, an Olympic Pog champion…and you sat staring at your blank paper.
Sinning Will Save The Economy
With the recession guilting me into sacrificing unnecessary luxuries (oh, multiple, daily Starbucks runs, how I miss you!), I’m wondering how others are handling their own sacrifices. Our daily indulgences have now become something to shake a finger at, but many industries are still thriving by playing into our addictions.
Intro to Cooking: Muy Delicioso Meatloaf
I love to have a big, hunka meat right in my face, teasing and seducing me. I'm talking about dinner, you dirty birdies! My fave plate of anti-vegetarianism is without a doubt the beloved meatloaf. But that's one meal that can easily turn bland and pack in the saturated fat like Brit Brit on a junk food binge.
My Life As An Army Girlfriend
When I tell people that my boyfriend is in the Army, I usually am met with the same response: “Oooh really? I don’t know how you do it. I couldn’t be with someone in the military.”
Can You Be a Semi-Feminist?
Remember Natalie Dylan, the girl who wanted to auction off her virginity? She had a degree in Women’s Studies and herself a feminist. Kind of contradictory, huh?
Hitched or Ditched: America Says “I Do” To Hypocrisy
Hitched or Ditched poses the ultimate ultimatum to a rocky couple: Get married in a week or end it for good. Viewers are drawn to the drama and suspense of whether a couple will say “I do” or be publicly humiliated with rejection. This all or nothing, sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot attitude cheapens the idea of marriage.
Good Books That Make You Look Bad

When you spot an intriguing book that you cannot wait to read cover to cover, you may or may not have the cajones to bring it up to the counter. Why, you ask? Hmm, maybe because its entitled The Going Down Guide: Tongue Tips and Oral Techniques for Men and Women!
Earth: Polar Bear Butts and Rainforests
Did you do your part to celebrate Earth Day this year? Maybe you showered with your man to conserve water or skipped the cardboard sleeve on your Starbucks to reduce paper waste. As for me, I went to a showing of DisneyNature's new documentary film, Earth.

Body Blog: Take Your Workouts Outdoors
The sun is shining, the breeze is warm and Spring is in full swing. Who wants to waste such a beautiful day slaving away on a treadmill indoors? Research shows that sharing your sweat session with Mother Nature decreases your stress levels and ups your calorie burn due to the varied terrain and fluctuating temperatures. It's time to lace up your Nikes and head to the nearest park.
Is It Worth It?
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. And in the game of Bad Habits, you will always come out a loser. As I laid in a tanning bed, I thought about how this bad habit was going to affect me in the long run. Even though I love the immediate benefits of this vice (golden, sun-kissed skin!), I can't help but worry about my future as a leather-skinned freak.
Tough Love: “Friends Don’t Let Friends Date Bitches”
It was Sunday night, which means a spread of Diet Root Beer, a chopped green apple, a turkey sandwich and my TV tuned to VH1's Tough Love. Last night we saw Steve challenge the girls to be low maintenance.
