I mean if you truly think about it, what other group of people would enjoy saving money without having to leave the house/ dorm? Not only does Black Friday limit those who don’t have cars on campus, but more often than not the Cyber Monday deals are better than the in store Black Friday ones. …
Despite the expensive rent, mobs of people, rare silence and utter chaos, I want to move to New York City. Each year on Thanksgiving my mom, sisters, and I sit in front of the television and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while silently kicking ourselves for not going yet again.

A college senior? Over college? Why isn’t she failing her classes to stay? Switching her major to force her to stay for longer? Could she really want to be kicked off the payroll? Live by herself? Become immersed with the horror of the adult world and work? Well… Yes please. I’ve never been particularly excited…

Spring break of our sophomore year of college and I’ve realized there’s a trend to our get togethers. I figured a few people might be able to relate… Thus, read on. 1. Prom talk Believe me when I say we remember that the DJ sucked and liked the weekend at the beach more than the…
It seems as though people take pride in saying they’re exhausted or tired of something or have absolutely no motivation. It could be true, it could be a joke, or it could be an excuse to be lazy. Whatever it is though, finding a way to cope with it can be difficult. A popular line…
Wednesday before finals and I’m writing to you from my bed with a pint of chocolate brownie fudge in my lap urging myself to not turn on my television to watch Private Practice on Netflix all while scolding myself for not following my initial plan of going to the library at 3:30… It’s now 6:30. …
