Unless you are a martian or a homeschooled jungle freak, I can assume that you have seen Mean Girls and have realized it’s the greatest thing to happen to mankind since Diet Coke. The first thing I do when I meet someone is slip a Mean Girls quote into conversation to see if he or she is worthy of my time. If they do not immediately get the reference, I know they are not a person worth knowing and that I should avoid them like I avoid the bathroom of an MIT frat house. READ MORE

AMANDA PLEASE! Once upon a time there was a beautiful young girl named Amanda. She first stole our hearts with her recurring role on All That in her “Ask Ashley” sketch before cementing herself as the funniest kid in America (take that Christina Kirkman) with her skit show, “The Amanda Show.” She entertained and delighted us with her excursions to Blockblister, frequent run ins with Penelope Taynt and trips to Moody’s Point. And let’s not get it twisted- she showed us the inner workings of the girl world with her “Girl’s Room” sketch before Mean Girls ever did. So what happened to our comedy queen? Unfortunately, it seems she has decided to take her life in a different direction. READ MORE...

Finals are coming up, which means extended hours at Snell, lots of coffee, all-nighters, and…. Facebook? It’s the ultimate procrastination tool, and, if you’re like most of us, you’ll probably spend more time stalking your old neighbor than studying derivatives. Here are some tips to help you stay off Facebook and maximize your study time: Have your friend change your password If you like studying with friends: Grab a friend who’s good at focusing, and change each other’s passwords without revealing the new passwords!

Lizzie McGuire Life Lessons

Zetus Lepetus! Maybe I’m just nostalgic but today’s Disney Channel is just not on the level of what it used to be. Seriously, A.N.T. Farm? What is this a center for ants? How can we expect to teach children to read if they can’t fit in the building?  Maybe most lovable was our life guru of the early 2000’s Lizzie McGuire.  Lizzie was an awkward, average B student who was called out for being an outfit repeater and ripped down the curtains at Graduation. Yet she was still way cooler than us as she got to go to Aaron Carter’s “Party” (Remember the Duff vs. Lohan feud over dating Carter?) and date Frankie Muniz before he got ugly/irrelevant.  Aside from cartoon Lizzie only having four fingers on each hand, everything else about her was so fetch....

Although I do believe pale is the new tan, it’s nice to have a little color as it starts to get warmer and we strut around campus in slightly skimpier clothing. I am not talking Jersey Shore level here people. In fact, I don’t recommend ever stepping foot in a tanning bed. No one wants to be a wrinkly old (sometimes young) person. Plus, your skin is too fragile to be messed with. So, to get a little color this Spring/Summer, try these quick and easy solutions. (Notice Jergens doesn’t even make the list.) 3: The lightest shade of a spray tan. READ MORE
