	Healthy Food to Keep in your Dorm Room By Nicole Harris October 13, 2012 - 5:21pm Let’s face it: eating healthy in college is nearly impossible. With the all-you-can-eat buffets at the dining halls, restaurants that line Marshall Street and various cafes around campus, it’s easy to see how the “Freshman 15” is a very likely possibility. The excessive eating doesn’t stop when students return to their dorms, which are often stocked with foods that are good for the budget but bad for the body. However, eating well at college doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Here are some ideas of healthy foods to keep in your dorm room: READ MORE

	Winter Boot Wish List By Rebecca J. Shafer October 7, 2012 - 2:30pm It’s almost that time again – time to pack up the Sperry’s and sandals and break out the winter boots. I’ll admit that I surely plan to continue wearing my combat boots and lace-ups that I’ve already broken out for fall. However, once the snow starts falling and the colder months of Syracuse are upon us, appropriate footwear will become drastically important. When you’re trekking through feet of fluffy white snow to get to class, you’ll be thankful you bought a cute pair of duck boots. This fur-lined pair from Juicy Couture is cute, yet functional. I have a pair similar to this and they’ve definitely been one of my best purchases for the snowy months at Syracuse – of which we all know there are many. READ...
	The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: What Men Really Think of Women’s Fashion By Heather Siemienas October 4, 2012 - 12:43pm Female-friendly magazines like People, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour bombard its viewers with images of the latest women’s fashions: celebrities sporting designer trends, models “dressed to the nines” walking the runway during fashion week, and flashy advertisements of popular stores’ newest apparel. As a previous full-time employee of top retail chain Nordstrom, I often heard interesting comments from costumers when more “fashion forward” merchandise began to flood our sales floors; but the most interesting and sometimes comedic comments, I found, were from male shoppers viewing female fashions.

	No Escape from Royal Pains By Charlotte Lipman October 2, 2012 - 2:56pm On Friday, the world (literally, the world) was abuzz over photos of Kate Middleton, duchess of Cambridge, sunbathing topless while on holiday in Provence. Since then the royal scandal has graced the headlines of many, if not most tabloids. Papers in France, Ireland and Italy have published the photos incensing the House of Windsor and necessitating a reading of any and all privacy laws across Europe. As royal reps demand that France’s Closer hand over the files of pictures that they currently possess, the duchess and Prince William are touring the South Seas, dancing festively in Tuvalu and “smiling through scandal.” READ MORE
	Parties and Cardigans: How Much an Outfit Can Influence A Night Out By Anna Hodge September 23, 2012 - 7:51pm For a college girl, the weekend is synonymous with a tight skirt, eyeliner and “Never-Again-Will-I-Wear-These” heels. There is a certain excitement in wondering what kind of night you’ll have based on the top you choose. However, it was this past weekend that I wondered: how much does what I wear affect my night out? My first few weekends of college have been filled with memories that I’m sure are the direct result of what I was wearing. So, despite other plans for my Friday night, I decided to make an experiment out of it. I decided to test the two extremes of the “weekend-outfit-spectrum.” For the first part of my night, I wore a conservative outfit of a cardigan (with the top buttoned), crew-neck tee, jeans, and moccasin slippers....
