Let’s Get High…

On running, that is.
I’ve come to realize that while working a high stress job in the city that never sleeps, moments of pure “zen” are few and far between. I go to bed at night lulled by fire engine sirens and cars honking and then wake up to fight the crowds of people in order […]

Wine is Wreaking Havoc on Your Brain…More than Beer

I always thought I was the health smarty pants throughout college when I would opt out of the calorie-heavy beer for the “healthier” wine option. Beyond just watching out for calories, I always figured that any form of wine was somehow better for me than good old Bud Light.
Now, I have recently found out that […]

Never Went On “Spring Break”…And Proud Of It!

For college students everywhere, mid-March means the glorious time to break away from the monotonous second semester daily grind and go buck wild on sunny beaches for a week. Although I participated in most “college-esque” activities; sororities, student organizations, etc, having the stereotypical balls to the wall spring break was something I never did. […]

Must Read Dieting Blogs for Any College Girl

One of the hardest things about committing to a diet and staying on track is remaining motivated throughout the tough times. Going through a break up or just didn’t do so hot on a big exam? Eating junk food and sweets is a really easy way to deal with your emotions. But, unfortunately, they are […]

A Good Reason to Eat Whole Grains: You’ll Lose Belly Fat!

Let’s banish this idea once and for all: Carbs are not the devil! Although past fad diets like Atkins dwell on depriving yourself of carbohydrates, other healthy diet lifestyles such as Weight Watchers insist that it’s okay to include carbs in your diet, as long as they’re the right kinds (even the Skinny Bitch lifestyle […]

Your Health = Your Last Meal…Even if it Was Half a Pizza at 3am

“My diet starts tomorrow…right after I devour this pizza, plate of chicken tenders, and a six pack of beer today”
How many times have you been in this situation in college or heard one of your friends say they are going to start eating healthy at a certain time in the future? Everyone always assumes that […]

Tell Your (Modern) Love Story and Get Published in The NY Times!

The infamous Modern Love column in The New York Times is looking to the college demographic to find out what love and relationships are like in this age bracket. They’re sponsoring a contest with an end result of being published in the paper, as well as $1,000!
I’m sure that many of you have stories […]

Becoming A “Skinny Bitch”

Okay, before you all jump down my throat for that title…This post is in reference to a real book that has been published, and is actually on the New York Times Bestseller List.
Although I find the title mildly offensive, it has truly changed the way I eat, helped me drop those pesky extra post-college pounds, […]

What you NEED to read: Valley of the Dolls

A wise person (Dr. Seuss) once said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” I know it sounds cheesy and the thought of reading for pleasure while in college is often daunting, but hear me out.
When you stop and think […]

Stop Forcing Happiness and Embrace Your Blues!

College overall is a great time and once you’re done (take it from me), you will miss it terribly. The fact that you have all of your friends around you at all times, endless social opportunities, and things like paying rent or worrying about health insurance are not even on your radar yet add […]
