	Art Notes: The Art of Happiness By Hillary Hoffower February 20, 2013 - 12:01am Art can mean many different things to many different people. To me, art is about meaning and skill. I love looking at a painting and admiring its detailed colors and deciphering its underlying symbolism, but pop art has never made the cut for me. Although it symbolizes the artist’s expression, I’ve never understood how some people interpreted any significance behind something so abstract or simple. And I’ve never understood why one guy can splatter a bunch of paint onto a canvas or paint a series of squares and become a renowned artist, while I could do the exact same thing. I just didn’t get it. READ MORE
	Winsome Warbles: (Somewhat) Guilty Pleasures By Rachel Walkover February 19, 2013 - 12:01am Hey there, Collegiettes! I hope your midterms are over (or almost over). Whether you’re still hitting the books for a test next week or celebrating the end of studying, the theme of this week will fit your mood very well: Michael Jackson and Madonna. Considering my parents were both in college in the 80s, I am surprised that it took me until last semester to find MJ and Madonna so appealing. Both are remarkable in their own ways: MJ for the astounding success of Thriller and Madonna for so skillfully adapting her image. Because of this, both artists have managed to stay relevant for three decades. READ MORE

	The Target Experience: Decorating in College By Melissa Guerra February 16, 2013 - 12:01am This week I thought I would explore a different section of Target; rather than clothes and accessories, I decided to look at the Home Décor section. As soon as I found out I was going to sign an apartment lease for next year, I (of course) made a Pinterest board to start pinning cute and creative décor for my new residence. When thinking about what I will need and what I would like to have in my apartment next year, I knew Target would have a great selection of what I was looking for. READ MORE
	Fitness with Finesse: Brown Bagging It By Valerie Crum February 15, 2013 - 12:01am Remember when our moms dutifully packed our lunches everyday, making us wholesome meals with the staple sandwich, fruit, chips, and maybe even a cookie if we were lucky? I miss those days. This semester, I can hardly catch a break between my blocked classes to even eat a granola bar. There are only so many granola bars I can fit into my backpack without looking a little too excited about chocolate chunks. And let’s not talk about the number of times I bend to the temptation of Freshens or Starbucks. Oh, and those vending machines? I never thought trail mix could look so good. READ MORE
	Savory Scenes: Valentine's Day Cooking By Kerry Elkins February 14, 2013 - 12:01am Hey, collegiettes! As you’re all aware, today is Valentine’s Day (or Single’s Awareness Day if you’d prefer). So, in the spirit of the day of love (or not), I have two film recommendations this week. READ MORE
	UFashion: Valentine’s Day Style Guide By Caroline Josey February 13, 2013 - 12:01am On Thursday, couples will flock to restaurants, picnic in the park, and cuddle up to their loved ones. I know my biggest worry on Valentine’s Day is what to wear. Different dates call for different outfits, but whether you're going on a hike or out to a pre-fix dinner, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to look cute and festive! Don’t stray away from the classics, it’s Valentine’s Day — wear red or pink! There are countless shades of red or pink. My personal favorite is rose; when wearing pink or rose, stay away from black heels, instead try nude, or dark brown. The dark brown still gives you the dark contrast, but it is less severe. READ MORE
