As they encourage the independence of young women, modern day realities leave us lost on what to do when situations don’t go the way the magazine pictured it for you. How do you deal with real life when it slaps you in the face?...

Normally we are cool, calm and collected collegiettes. We breeze through the week, effortlessly balancing our academic and social lives. Then, the inevitable happens.

After placing tiny check marks in your planner next to all the goals you accomplished this past week, you turn the page and your stomach drops. Squinting to decipher some meaning through the scribble marks and smeared ink, you finally come to that miserable realization: It’s your Hell Week.   READ MORE

Throughout time, the letters D-I-Y have become more than just an acronym for the term do-it-yourself.

It’s that time of the year again. The air is crisp, the leaves are crunchy and Collegiettes everywhere are preparing to parade around campus in body-baring costumes.

It’s us who let the stories get get our attention over more important things that actually affect our live like current events and world news? READ MORE
