	Pretty Little Liars Review: (1/22) By natashasears January 28, 2013 - 10:49am The entire PLL fan base felt Spencer’s pain this past week after it was revealed that Toby was part of Team A. The fact that this happened on their one-year anniversary made it so much worse. The bigger question: What’s up with Meredith? The ex-mistress of Aria’s dad has gone crazy. We now have a suspicion that she is helping Mr. Montgomery cover up his tracks with why and when he met up with Allie, the night of her disappearance. She’s drugging Aria, stealing her phone, and at one point, had the intent to stab her with a broken piece of glass. The well-being of Aria remained unknown by the end of the episode after she was hit over the head by the psycho blonde. READ MORE

	The Little Things By Emily Gruss January 20, 2013 - 12:00am All too often I get caught up in the hustle and bustle of my everyday life. Between working, classes, homework, and preparing for graduate school, I feel like I am going a million miles an hour all day every day. Lately I have been trying to slow down and enjoy the little things. When we are so busy it feels like it is so easy to get annoyed when something goes wrong, or when you forget to do something important, or you run out of time to get something finished; it doesn’t have to be like that if we slow down and appreciate whatever happens. I no longer want to be that student that pulls all-nighters and lets herself get stressed out on every little detail. Stress can cause premature aging on the face, and nobody wants wrinkles at 22 years old!...
	St. Pete Glow Run - A Unique Experience By Sarah Laffin January 20, 2013 - 12:00am 5K races are, to some, a big part of being a runner. For me, running on treadmills and on trails by myself makes for good workouts, but sometimes I feel isolated from the rest of the world. Running 5Ks not only helps me see how my running has improved, but it puts me in the running community, where I can meet people to run with me and motivate me. READ MORE
	How To: Give Gifts at Work By Emily Gruss December 1, 2012 - 2:00pm I don’t know about you guys, but knowing whether or not to give Christmas gifts to my coworkers is a very tough decision. There are thirteen people that work at my job (not including myself and my sister), which adds up to a lot of money spent on gifts. My boss always throws a Christmas brunch in which we do a gift exchange with a $25.00 limit, but I inevitably always get gifts from people after the fact, which compels me to want to buy everyone an individual gift on top of the secret santa gift exchange.

Whether you are just starting to accumulate boots or you are like me and already have way too many, here are some tips for buying the right boots for the right outfit.
