	Staying Warm Never Looked This Cute By Cornell Contributor March 24, 2013 - 5:37pm The winter season brings us some of our favorite things. The holiday season, Instagramable snow-covered landscapes, a good excuse to curl up with reruns of The Hills and a steamy mug of hot chocolate… and in Ithaca, winter seems to never end! However, the forecast does not look so great for fashion. Once the temperature begins to drop, layers become a must, and the cute outfits we spend so much time putting together get less and less time in the spotlight. This is where many throw in the towel and accept defeat, but not you, collegiette! We’re taking four of the most basic winter pieces and showing you how they will be the hottest (we’re talking Ryan Gosling hot) things in your wardrobe this winter....

And, since we are on a chocolate kick, I figured I might as well share it with all of you.

If you don’t have a gas stove to roast your marshmallows, call your friends. Have a s’mores party. Teach a foreign exchange student what a s’more is and how to pronounce it. READ MORE

	Cooking Off Campus: Super Pasta By Carly Britton January 28, 2013 - 10:31pm I have to tell you about this recipe. I’ve made it four times in the last two weeks, and every time I do, my housemates start whining. “What are you making?” “It smells so good!” “Is it that avocado pasta again?” Yes. Yes it is.

Today, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice turns 200. That’s two hundred years of Lizzy. Two hundred years of the quirky Mr. Bennet and the hysterical Mrs. Bennet. Two hundred years of Jane and Bingley. Two hundred years of Wickham’s charm and Lydia’s foolishness. Two hundred years of Mr. Darcy (swoon.) READ MORE

	Cooking Off Campus: Hungry? There's a Website for That By Carly Britton January 21, 2013 - 2:21pm Hello again, lovely collegiettes! Welcome back to Cornell! It’s my last semester, so I’m having lots of nostalgic flashback moments. Not to mention, I have a roommate who thinks it’s her duty to loudly announce whenever we do something for the last time. Some recent examples include: the Last Time We’ll Buy Textbooks, the Last Night Before Classes Start, and the Last First Day of Classes. It’s kind of traumatizing. I think I deserve some comfort food. READ MORE

Spring semester is a great time at Cornell- and because I was abroad last spring, I haven't experienced one in a while! On top of that, this is my senior spring. It's weird to imagine graduating. But it also means I have to seize Cornell by the horns and go out in style. (High School Musical style, perhaps?) READ MORE
