We love the internet for 2 main reasons:

1. We can do just about everything (shop, date, job hunt, talk to professors) in our underwear
2. We can procrastinate on everything in favor of the endless entertainment the inter-webs provide.

The sheer number of blogs and awesome websites out there is astounding…and nearly impossible to navigate. Which ones are good? Which ones are bad? Which ones will flash giant naked men on our screen? (Editor’s Note: Those are my favorite!) Which ones talk about all the stuff I want to hear?

That’s why we are here.

There are so many great college blogs out there and we want to share them with you. Because, after all, we college kids gotta stick together. So, here are a few of our favorites for today: Read More »

There are so many great college blogs out there and we want to share them with you. Because, after all, we college kids gotta stick together. So, here are a few of our favorites for today:

1. Kill Jill Goes to College: This girl is just awesome. We wish we knew her in real life. Wait, is that creepy?

2. Bwog: Those Columbia kids are as funny as they are smart. We know we didn’t go there, but that doesn’t mean we can’t live vicariously through them.

3. Dorm Wars: Yeah, so we think this site is meant for the college boys, but sometimes boy stuff is funny.

4. Brokeass Student: We are all poor, so maybe this blogger can help us get by?

5. College Sex Talk: Only because we think it’s funny to ask this woman questions about anal.

Which blogs are your faves?

Shopping can be hard work. How many times have you walked out of a store or clicked off a website saying, “I’ll come back later to see if it goes on sale”? And how many times have you actually remembered to go back and check? Wouldn’t life be so much easier if you had a personal shopper?

Well, now you can have your very own personal shopper with just a few clicks of the mouse. The new website, Shop It To Me, is your web-based personal shopper, helping you shop the best deals with barely any work on your part. Shopping where I can sit back and relax (and possibly even nap) and still find good bargains? Count me in! Read More »

Are you desperately searching for some last minute gifts? Really last minute, as in they’ll-probably-get-it-after-Christmas-but-whatever gifts? Or maybe you’re kind of thinking you’d like to reward yourself for being so good this holiday season…a way to say “good job keeping away from that holiday fudge, self!”?

Well, if either of those two things are true, than you need to check out the SpoonSisters.

Known only as “Little” and “Big” (“that’s based on age, not size” they assure), the SpoonSisters have come up with an awesome little website that caters to the funny, crafty, and thoughtful girl in all of us. Read More »

Ok, I confess. I went to Macy’s on 34th street this weekend. I did a lot of shopping. I spent a lot of money. On myself.

The guilt set in and now this weekend is all about shopping for my family and friends.

Then I found hautelook.com. Sh*t.

Avert your eyes! This site is amazing but a total drain on your wallet (due to selection–not prices!). Just in case you’re willing to spend some cash on some discounted designer duds here’s the lowdown:

Hautelook.com is a member-only site where the user can sign up to receive discounts on major designer apparel–up to 75% off!

You gain access to sample sales days before everyone else. And if you know anything about real-life sample sales…this is a Godsend. No more elbows to the face, disgruntled bitches, and long lines! It’s a Christmas miracle! Read More »

Getting a debit card might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to me; compiled with the internet, the two opened Pandora’s Box, rowed me across the River Styx and into Dante’s Inferno.

My parents were always adamant about me not having a credit card and I actually agreed with them. It would just be too dangerous. But the debit card still enables me (and I wouldn’t hesitate to say it encourages me) to online shop unabashedly. Or at least until the honey pot runs dry.

In today’s New York Times, there was an interesting article about unintentionally buying/signing up for things online and then being charged for them for months, even years, without noticing. While this specifc problem might be contained to a specific generation (cough, your parents, cough), online shopping can be a different kind of issue when you’re just too good at the internet, like me.

Or so I thought. Ebay, I have found, is the greatest evil on the internet. I find one million things I want, usually designer and usually from China, and somehow I can justify paying ridiculous sums of money for them because they are still cheaper than they would be off-the-rack. Read More »
