Get Rid of The Roomie
Midterms are still weeks away, and
already you can’t stand your roommate.
Being forced to share such small
quarters as a dorm room with another
person can take its toll on one’s sanity.
Perhaps you got a random roommate,
and the two of you just never clicked, or
maybe you chose to room with a friend,
only to find that spending every waking
moment with her is a nightmare.
You want to do a housing swap, but
you’re settled into your room. Problem
is, so is she. The gauntlet has been
thrown; how do you make her move out?

Don’t Send Shady Emails From Work — Unless You Like Embarassment

womanchair.jpg

Email just isn’t private anymore.  Everyone knows that.  Big Brother is always watching — especially if you work at a giant company where CEOs have enough money to have you killed, stuffed into a bag, and “disappeared” forever.

Which is why it’s hilarious to read about people using their work email to send private messages.  How naive can you be?  Don’t tell your honey about all the bad things you want to do to him that involve chocolate syrup.  Don’t send a bitchy diatribe to your best friend about how your boss has constant armpit stains.  DON’T DO IT.

Unless you want to end up like these people.

The Top 20 Gourmet College Dining Halls

af0d41d6d5a7463ea935793a8adfa132.jpgI don’t know about your college, but the food at UMass is well, not the most scrumptious. The salad bar got old after the first week (of freshman year) and I swear the food is mixed with laxatives; I can never keep anything down (TMI, I know, my B).

Anyways, eating in the dining commons at my school was my least favorite option and I imagined it to be the same for every campus, until I came across an article on Yahoo about the Top 20 Rankings for Best College Food and became insanely jealous of these delicious treats.

At Wheaton College, ranked number one in this survey, Klaud Mandl, the General Manager of Food Services at Wheaton, who previously worked at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston, has a menu of Belgian chocolate homemade truffles, lavender-infused pork chops with onion gravy, and cumin-lime baked chicken with avocado cream sauce. Are you serious?!?! Homemade Belgian truffles??? The closest thing we got to that at my school was a help-yourself ice cream machine with watered down frozen yogurt. Read More »

Candy Dish: Heidi Montag Makes “Music”

Someone up above must hate me, because Heidi Montag released another terrible song. Perhaps this is what the U.S. Military is using in their latest foray into alternative forms of torture.

Don Imus seems to be back to his old ways. Shocking.

A lot of little children (and some really awesome college students…not me…ok, maybe me) spent their Friday evening at home with the Jonas Brothers.

The perfect breakfast for the morning after a late night summer Beer-B-Q.

To make money, or to make a difference; that is the question for many college grads.

Is your brain gay?

Some guys just can’t quite distinguish between fact and a cartoon from the early 90’s.

Weekend Candy Dish. The Perfect Hangover Remedy.

The point of a thong is the minimal coverage. Clearly not the best disguise.

Don’t know how to tell your roomie she smells? Get answers to some tough questions from the highest of authorities.

Picturing that friend naked every time to look at him? Wanna get…naughty? Yahoo tells you how.

3G iPhone announced pissing off the millions who bought the first one. Especially me, damn it.

Oil prices and unemployment rise, but, still, George W. says it’s all OK. So, it must be!

Don’t know what to do after college? Why not take a few years and change the world.

You can’t put it off any longer. How to buy a bathing suit (without the tears).

“Super Duper Life Changing Diet Tips!” …Yeah, Right

24349800.jpg

I have been watching my weight for as long as I can remember and am always on the lookout for new products and ideas that will make eating healthy a little bit easier. I love perusing the recipes on foodnetwork.com, learning about fun new products on hungrygirl.com and reading new food research anywhere I can. My years of research have taught me how to maintain a healthy lifestyle every day.

Not that I had a choice. When I was still in school, living a healthy lifestyle was impossible. From the drinking, to the partying, to the daily late night pizza runs; my body was begging for something green. And growing larger and more icky every day. I can’t even believe I made it out alive…and that my blood didn’t turn into some sort of vodka marinara sauce.

But that’s beside the point.

Today I was playing around on Yahoo and saw the headline: “Healthy Dining: Eating Healthy on the Go.” I immediately clicked it. Eating out is one of the hardest things for me; I never know what is going into my food and how to stop myself before downing a giant family-sized portion. I was so excited to read some real tips that would help me make better choices at restaurants.

And then I read it. Read More »

Tis the Season for Breakups!

22174938.jpg

Yes, it’s true, the period from late December to Valentines Day is officially known as National Break-up Season. According to a study done by Yahoo, couples are twice as likely to think about breaking up now compared to any other time during the year. And speaking from personal experience, as a case study of this break-up phenomenon who has recently become single for the first time in awhile, it’s true.

I realized that my situation was not just an isolated incident over the course of the past couple days after speaking to a number of different friends who (previously) had serious boyfriends, and enthusiastically said to me, “I’m single! Drinks this weekend?” I must say that it is comforting to know I am in good company.

Although this break-up season statistic may seem weird at first glance (wouldn’t couples be so in love after the holidays? and preparing to spend a romantic Cupid’s day together), it actually makes complete sense. Read More »
