	Ten Years Later By Songine' Clarke April 20, 2012 - 12:16pm Recently, I've been reading the latest book of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. The book fast forwards ten years later in the main characters lives. As they are all in totally different places, it makes me think where I will be in ten years. What will have changed? What will still be the same? Even as a soon-to-be college graduate, questions about the future pop into my head pretty often. READ MORE
	HC Music Review: "Laserlight," Jessie J feat. David Guetta, UMG 2012 By Emily Ornberg April 19, 2012 - 10:46am “Seems like everybody’s got a price/I wonder how they sleep at night/when the sale comes first and the truth comes second…” Jessie J sang in January of 2011. Listening to the songstress’ “Price Tag” single after hearing her new single “Laserlight {ft. David Guetta)” is nothing but hypocrisy at its finest. READ MORE
	High on TV By Katy Krantz April 18, 2012 - 6:00am I’m the kind of person who falls in love with a television series in a big way. I get completely wrapped up with the characters, story lines, relationships, and just about every other detail that makes it a hit T.V. show. READ MORE

	The Benefits of Pinterest By Songine' Clarke April 13, 2012 - 6:00am During Spring Break I had a lot of time on my hands. Well, I allowed myself to have a lot of free time. Anyway, I decided to catch up with my Pinterest account. I’ve had it for a while, but I avoided it during school because it was so easy to get distracted with it. While I was on the website I found a plethora of recipes, style ideas, craft ideas and nail designs to try out that I never would have thought of. READ MORE
	HC Music Review: "Boyfriend," Justin Bieber, Def Jam Recordings, 2012 By Emily Ornberg April 12, 2012 - 10:04am Timberlake’s hip hop heartthrob status has questionably been replaced: there is a new Justin in town. And he’s cute, talented, and officially 18. Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber’s newly released song “Boyfriend” is a kitschy yet catchy R&B attempt that proves puberty has finally knocked on his door.

	I Do: Lovingly Committed to the Internet By Katy Krantz April 12, 2012 - 9:42am I vividly remember first getting my Facebook account. It was a few days after I had graduated from the 8th grade, and as an incoming freshman, I was finally allowed to use the sacred site. My sister (already a senior in high school) sat me down at the family’s desktop computer and created my account, doing all the work for me, acting as the seasoned veteran she was.

I would come home every day after school and hours of rehearsals, utterly exhausted but excited to check the activity that had occurred on Facebook while I had been gone during the day....

	HC Music Video Review: Katy Perry “Part Of Me (Music Video),” Sony EMI Recordings 2012 By Emily Ornberg April 5, 2012 - 6:00am The last person we would guess to be holding an M16 rifle while wearing (unflattering) camouflage would be cupcake-pop-princess Katy Perry. In her latest music video, the “California-Girl” ditches the blue wig for a boy cut and stands alongside actual US Marines, making a statement that women can be strong without a man. What a concept!
