Loading ...For some reason, all the men I encounter lately consider awkward to be the new hot thing in the art of pick-up lines. I’m not sure who these work on, or if they really do, ever, but something must be inspiring people to come up with gems like the following. Maybe it’s that crappy Pick […]

Knowing Your Wingman Limits
July 7, 2008 - 9:30 am
If my alma mater offered a degree program for being a wingman, I’d have graduated valedictorian, magna cum laude, and have seven thousand honors cords around my neck commemorating my achievements.
Instead, I have friend-couples (you know, the couples you were friends with before they were couples) sprinkled through my social calendar, all with their own […]

Comments (0) Why Yes, There IS Such a Thing as Too Small
July 2, 2008 - 10:30 am
There are some attributes to the summer season that make it less than perfect. One of these is the prevalence of muffin top sightings, and I’ve just got to vent.
It’s not so much the muffin top in and of itself that irks me. It is OSTS, or One-Size-Too-Small Syndrome, afflicting so many girls that […]

Comments (13) Keep Cool With Do-It-Yourself Yogurt This Summer
June 29, 2008 - 12:00 pm
I’m a huge fro-yo fan, and my dream job may be taste-testing at the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Vermont, but sometimes it’s good to keep your calories in check when you’re craving something chilly for the summer. You know…with bathing suits and super tight dresses, and all.
And so, I bring you a ridiculously […]

Comments (0) Going Natural… with Peanut Butter
June 27, 2008 - 12:30 pm
During my vegetarian kick this winter, I was determined to get enough protein and, ironically, fat in my diet. Cheese was good, milk was fine, and I cannot say enough about my obsession with avocado, but what I needed was something of the nut variety to add a little to my meals. […]

Comments (4) Foolproof Sunless Tanning Lotion
June 26, 2008 - 4:30 pm
As soon as summer announces itself with its warm winds and bright, shiny mornings, I want to lay out and bake in the sun. Nothing feels quite like floating in a pool - book in one hand, ice cold beverage in the other - absorbing those delicious rays. And nothing looks quite as […]

Comments (9) Groceries on the Cheap
June 22, 2008 - 12:00 pm
When budgeting, I have two primary concerns that I think many college students share:
1) Pay rent to keep a roof of some sort over my recently highlighted head.
2) Social spending, as in, how many nights a week do the remaining funds allow for.
Please note that these are not necessarily considered in that order, which can […]

Comments (4) The Hot Neighbor Situation
June 16, 2008 - 10:30 am
I was awakened at 6 AM by construction after the first night in my new apartment. I’m not much of a morning person until I’ve had about two cups of coffee (and the coffee maker has yet to be purchased), so needless to say I was a little disgruntled and unable to fall back […]

Comments (1) Get Loaded, as in, Loaded Baked Potatoes
June 4, 2008 - 12:30 pm
I’ve detailed my love for potatoes before, and here’s a recipe that never fails for a filling lunch.
You’ll need:
One large baking potato
Half cup mixed vegetables of your choice (Zucchini and yellow squash are great, bell peppers and onion are a good topping, or some people love broccoli)
¼ cup salsa
¼ cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons 2% […]

Comments (0) Top Three Foods I (and Maybe You) Can’t Live Without
May 29, 2008 - 12:30 pm
I’m an avid dieter, but that’s really only because I’m an avid eater. My love for food is more passionate than I’ve been in some relationships, and that’s okay. Now I write about it and can share my concept of the Top Three.
The Top Three are the very three foods I would choose […]
