Dating shows, there’s "The Bachelor," "The Bachelorette," and  many more. But, those are the two most popular dating shows on today, with good reason. American women and men get to be on an unscripted reality television show with more than a dozen other hopefuls who want to find true love. NBC’s “Ready for Love,” which is co-produced by Eva Longoria, and hosted by Guliana and Bill Rancic, was recently “canceled” due to low ratings. The dating show depicts modern dating strategies, and gives advice to both women and men. It is a bit cliché but nevertheless, entertaining. Everyone wants love, right?

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past seven years, you've probably heard a song by Taylor Swift. You may have even seen her walking around campus last year with her friend who went here. And you probably have some sort of opinion on her. Either you absolutely love her and every song she writes is totally you and your life and ‘oh my goodness you would die to go to her concert,’ or you probably cannot stand her songs and thinks she’s so whiney and should probably write a song called “Maybe I’m The Problem.” Love her or hate her, I have found that a lot of her songs have good lessons to be learned for the average college woman.

Say hello to 2013 and gas is above $3 per gallon.    But, wait, does it have to be? No, if you take advantages of great opportunities you can make the price per gallon shrink.   READ MORE

Midterms are upon us. We just got three snow days in one week, and that cramped all of my tests together way too close. Maybe snow days haven't affected your schedule recently, but you've probably experienced some tests that happened a little too close together at some point in your college career.  When this type of thing happens to me, I freak out internally for a few days, and you might do the same. Eventually, I realize it's all going to happen despite what I do, so I might as well just embrace it. The hours are going to roll by regardless of how much I panic.  READ MORE
