	Makeshift Family for the Holidays By karriebradshaw123 December 3, 2012 - 6:46pm “The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself.” As I check my phone after a grueling workout, I’m distracted by the gleaming reflection of Mcdonald’s on my screen, but more importantly I’m baffled by the missed call from “home.” An empty phone contact rarely used except for school advice and money, I wondered what the call could’ve possibly been about.

	Black Friday and Cyber Monday By Madison Fewox November 20, 2012 - 1:10pm With Thanksgiving right around the corner, that can only mean one thing... Black Friday shopping! One thing to remember while shopping and pushing your way through the crowded lines is to be patient and keep your cool. The lines will be long and the people will be rushing to get the same deals that you are.

By karriebradshaw123 November 15, 2012 - 4:55pm In true Carrie Bradshaw fashion, Carrie simply sums up every girls view on the perks of being in a relationship, “Monogamy is fabulous. It gives you a deep and profound connection with another human being, and you don’t have to shave your legs as much.” Girls have an unfortunate habit of loosening the reins once we get that title, meaning the makeup comes off, the hair goes up, and the sweatpants become a staple item of our wardrobe.
