For me, holidays never seem to go as planned; my best friend told me my Halloween costume made me look like a TGI Friday’s waitress, my crush didn’t ask me out for Valentine’s Day, and my parents decided this year that I was too old to still be getting presents from Santa. I’ve learned that usually my favorite days are the ones I don’t plan – and therefore don...

The Kardashian family is constantly one-upping each other with their mind-boggling performances—whether its Khole putting her sex life on national television or Kim crying like a 13-year-old girl because her sham wedding didn’t turn out like she’d hoped. Even the babies of the family—Kendall and Kylie—are sure to shock the world soon…we’re just not sure...

I’m a firm believer that every ambitious collegiette who strives to succeed should be educated in every way available to her; this means, among other things, having at least a vague understanding of major current events happening around the world. Many of us are aware of the Republican primaries and that Iran might be trying to build a nuclear weapon, but this news doesn’t affect...

I’ve never been one for spring cleaning.  I like to keep my room and closet at least tangibly clean all year long; what’s so special about spring? Everything.  Since I got to NU, I’ve lived in a small, cramped dorm for the past seven months and have had to share a minuscule closet with my roommate.  There is absolutely no extra space, and I found myself dying...

I’ve liked almost every genre of music at some point in my life.  I’ll listen to everything from Bruce Springsteen to Miley Cyrus to Hawthorne Heights.  And I’ll admit it right now, collegiettes: remember Rebecca Black’s viral song Friday from a year ago?  I love that song…not even ironically.  I know all the lyrics. To be honest, though, I get...

Co-op is a Northeastern tradition that everyone participates in at least once. Several of us collegiettes choose to stay in Boston, while some of us brave souls ventured out into unseen territory. I was one of the crazy people who decided to do a co-op completely outside of my comfort zone, and will be spending six months of my life living in New York City. I always planned to do a co-op here,...

If you’re like most collegiettes, you more than likely feel out of the loop when it comes to the latest movies. You go home, excited to watch the biggest hit, only to realize it’s so old that it’s no longer showing in theaters. It seems abnormal and infrequent now to take a trip to the movie theaters, but here are five upcoming movies that you should take time out of your busy...

I like to think I have good time management skills. Or at least, I do for things that 110 percent need to get done by a certain time. Lately, my slack has been to my online presences. My blog posts (personally and on Her Campus) are way down; my actually intelligent tweets are non-existent and my celeb-gossip and foodie blogs are sitting unread. Where did my time go? I’m on co-op four days...
