Confirmed: People in Relationships are Less Slutty

As common knowledge goes, single guys are wired to want to have sex with as many people as possible, while single women tend to withhold or avoid sex so people don’t think they’re big whores.
But according to a recent study done at the University of Florida, feelings trump societal gender expectations in monogamous relationships. When […]

Cheese Heroin NOT Low - Fat

A shocking new drug epidemic has emerged in Texas. Since 2005, 21 Dallas - area teens have overdosed on “cheese heroin,” a potent mixture of black tar heroin and Tylenol PM. The highly dangerous combination of downers is highly accessible and frighteningly cheap. In Dallas, where a gram of cheese heroin sells for $10 (a […]

Sell Your Stuff, Soothe Your Soul

Last semester, I woke up one day and realized I was completely out of money. I guess going to the Ralph Lauren Outlet a weekend earlier had been therapeutic for my mind but not my wallet. What’s a girl to do?
Instead of freaking out and starting to dumpster dive, my anxiety mobilized me to act. […]

Asking A Guy Out: Do I Have to do Everything?

I don’t really have a problem with asking guys out. It’s pretty simple. You go up to them, compliment them on their shirt, and then say, “hey, let’s hang out sometime,” although who are we kidding — it usually comes out as: “Coffee? I like coffee. Do you like coffee? Tuesday. Let’s drink coffee […]

Accessory of the Summer: the Friend - Twin

Face it, there’s nothing worse than going out with a large group of girls. It’s social death — you inevitably get swallowed by or end up chained to your posse, most of whom probably look and dress similar to you. This summer, I suggest slimming down. Cut the fat and drop the entourage. They’re only […]

Make the Most of Your Fake ID

Every once in awhile I like going out to bars, clubs, you name it. Buuuuut, I am not yet 21 and I nowhere near look like I am. Because of my short stature, people frequently ask me if I am in high school (and one time even junior high). I know, I know: in 20 […]

Playing with Knives is Not a Photo Op!

I’m not a big fan of photography. Let’s just say I’m not very photogenic and don’t have much time to practice my skinny poses. In about 80% of photos taken of me, I bear a strange resemblance to Weird Al Yankovic. Thus, anytime someone pulls out a digital camera, I bolt.
Perhaps Lindsay Lohan and Vanessa […]

Love the One You’re With?

My friend has a hot boyfriend, but she hates him. What “Stan” has in looks he lacks in personality. Needless to say, they’ve been together three years. Ridiculous, right? I’d ditch the guy before he knew what hit him, but I have a remarkably short attention span.
Every time I see my friend, I give her […]
