	Fashion Blog: It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, How Can You Wear Pink? By Nicole Andrews October 29, 2012 - 12:40am If you’re anything like me, your wardrobe hasn’t seen much pink since eighth grade. This would be totally fine, except October is breast cancer awareness month, meaning that you’re expected to wear pink! There’s no need to panic though; there are endless ways to incorporate pink into any outfit without actually wearing pink. Perhaps the best way to include pink into an outfit is by accessorizing. Ladies love to accessorize, from their headbands, to their belts, to their tights. Accessorizing is also a great way to recycle an already worn dress or outfit to make it look fresh. Plus, it’ll save you money! And who doesn’t love an extra few dollars in their pocket? Thanks to the cooler weather, accessorizing is even easier!...

	A Designer Apartment (On a College Budget) By Alexa Mellardo October 25, 2012 - 1:14pm Today, more and more colleges and universities are not guaranteeing housing. Suffolk is a perfect example of such a school. My two best friends and I started apartment shopping mid-freshman year in Boston. It was originally just a back-up plan, but then it changed to the real deal. We found an adorable apartment, close to campus, with tons of character and charm (which translates to older and on the smaller side). Complete with hardwood floors, exposed brick, high ceilings, and large windows, we knew it had the necessary elements of a first apartment. Our goal was to incorporate lots of comfort, provide an open feel for entertaining, and for it to simply have a great look to it. READ MORE...

Other girls spent time looking around the school and meeting people, but I knew I needed to check out the rooms immediately. After all, this was where I would be living for the next four years, and I had to make sure I wasn’t making a huge mistake. READ MORE

	Stop Tweeting Sh*t By Alexa Mellardo September 29, 2012 - 3:27pm When will tweeters learn that certain things are simply bad ideas to tweet? Seriously, nobody cares that you’re stuck in traffic, hate your roommate, or are bored in class or at work. People care even less about a nasty shot you’re sending “indirectly” to a friend. Well, gossip is usually loved by many. But seriously, grow up and stop living like you’re still in high school! READ MORE
	"Why Can't We Be Friends?" The Dangers of Friend-Circle Inbreeding in College By Megan Ho & Mackenzie Newcomb September 27, 2012 - 8:34pm Who hasn’t hooked up with a good guy friend or some guy within your close group of friends? We’ve all "been there" and "done that." This is an issue many girls have to deal with. You meet that group of friends you hang out with during the day and go out with at night, and then you end up hooking up with one of them. While in the moment it may seem like the stars have aligned, but you're usually making a big mistake. No Longer Platonic: READ MORE
	How to Avoid Becoming a Fashion DON'T in the Classroom By Matilda Ivarsson September 27, 2012 - 12:23am Moving away from home and the safety of mommy and daddy is not an excuse to loose your sense of style and let yourself go. In college, if anywhere, it is important to keep in mind that you are constantly meeting new people and making impressions. Would you want to meet your next date or next boss running around in oversized sweatpants and crocs? Make time to dress to impress. Stilettos Everybody loves a nice pair of heels, and there's nothing better than strutting your stuff and showing them off, but skip the stilettos for class. It looks tacky and out of place, especially if you cant walk properly in them. Now if you do want to wear heels or have a special pair in need of use, then keep it simple. Boots or wedges are easier to dress down....
