	Laguna Beach: Where Are They Now? By Maya Wong May 17, 2013 - 6:08pm Listening to Hilary Duff’s “Coming Clean” while slapping on a black choker and a denim, mini skirt can only mean one thing…LAGUNA BEACH! You would be lying if you said that you never enjoyed “the Real Orange County”. Hook ups, house parties, high school drama–it was all too good to miss! Whether you were Team LC (Kristin was such a sloot) or Team Kristin (LC needs to stop pretending to be so innocent), I think it's safe to assume that we are all wondering where our favorite Laguna teens ended up.

	A Letter to the Not-So-Prince-Charmings of IV By Kate Slaughter May 14, 2013 - 2:49pm It's no secret that Isla Vista is home to some pretty ill-mannered bachelors, but this "hook up culture" we're living in has gotten ridiculous. No, I don't want to meet up at your frat's "late night," and I definitely don't want to "hang out" at midnight. It's come to the point where casual has shifted to confusion. Who is initiating what? Where is the line between "casually hooking up" and "exclusivity"? Do I seem too available? Is he too available? It has snowballed into a game of "who can care less," and, I for one, am tired of playing. READ MORE

Every day our dignity trips over our second left foot, steps in gum, and runs into screen doors, allowing embarrassment to yet again prevail. Welcome to another week of our unfortunately awkward lives: READ MORE
	Julep Nail Polish Beauty Review By Lauren Briand May 8, 2013 - 1:39am The hot, new beauty trend that is “in” right now is a box of beauty products (for a subscription price) that is delivered to your doorstep monthly. There are numerous, blooming companies that give their members the best, new products in cute, sample sizes to test out, ranging from perfumes to makeup to hair accessories. While I personally have a subscription or two (beauty products + snail mail (so fun!) = obsessed), the newest one I decided to join is called Julep—a monthly box of the hottest nail polish colors and other fun accessories! Let me just preface this by saying, I AM IN LOVE… READ MORE

	The Over-Thinker's Guide to First Date Food By Helen Irias May 6, 2013 - 11:34pm So here’s the situation: You are Taylor Swift, and the hot, older guy in the leather jacket says he’ll pick you up at 6, and no subsequent questions are asked. He will somehow zoom up to your driveway, sitting at the wheel of a gleaming Stang...even though you never exchanged addresses. Nevertheless, your evening is about to be whimsically romantic. However, before you can “dance around your room til the night ends,” you’ve got to get through the first date--and part of this probably involves eating food. On a first date, participants are usually at their peak confidence level, but messy meal disasters can sometimes put a damper on one’s ego. READ MORE
	HC’s Summer Countdown: 4 Ways to Spend Summer 2013 By Maya Wong May 5, 2013 - 2:16pm It’s already Week 6 of Spring Quarter, and it’s about that time in the quarter in which all of us are SO over it--the midterms, the 8:00 a.m. sections graded on participation, and the realization that we will always be behind on our class reading.

But, don't fret--Her Campus is here to help you avoid a summer spent watching ABC Family Nicholas Sparks marathons on your couch with your two boyfriends Ben & Jerry. Instead, just pick one (or more!) of the following active and exciting HC-approved Summer 2013 activities: ...
