  • Street Style to Die For

    Clubs practically beg for passersby to take their product and half the time students can’t even take out their headphones to say no. Students really don’t take full advantage of all the amazing things just being handed out to them. For example, Miami’s library offers a whole database of free subscriptions on its website. There’s access to the New York Times, EBSCOhost and even ancestry.com. My personal favorite is Fashion Snoops. Companies pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for access to this trend forecasting website, and Miami offers it for free. The website has everything from boys fashion to women’s trends to beauty favorites to the latest runways all over the world. I love looking at the galleries of street style to from Fashion Weeks worldwide to get inspiration and see what trends are popping up. It’s really a great way to procrastinate while also sharpening my fashion sense!

But, you're not alone and it's not weird.

  • Cult Classic Movies You Need to See

    By definition, a cult classic is “typically a movie or book, that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society.” You can usually tell something is a cult classic if college dorm rooms are covered in posters of the movie, book, etc. when mainstream media consumers don’t know anything about it. Here are some of my personal favorite cult classics you definitely need to see.

  • Easiest Curly-Hair Routine Ever

    Having curly hair is a blessing and a curse. Sure, you have volume, body and curls can be super pretty, but they can also be a real bitch. They have a mind of their own and if you even look at your hair wrong, they’ll do something wonky. Thankfully for you, I’m a naturally curly girl and have perfected my hair-care routine. Even better, it’s quick and easy!

  • Lettuce Recall Disrupts Vegetarian’s Diet

    On April 15, the United States Department of Agriculture issued a recall of iceberg lettuce infecting about 50 people with E. coli. Miami University sophomore Shelby Lau knows many safe, alternative foods she can consume since she has been a vegetarian for three years. “We don’t just eat salads all of the time. There’s plenty of recipes out there that we can make,” Lau said.

  • The Coolest Cooler

    You heard me, it’s formal season baby! For us girls, this also means cooler decorating. That aspect of fraternity formals is both exhilarating and daunting. By simply painting and filling a cooler with refreshments, you’ve earned yourself a free weekend getaway! However, if you aren’t particularly artistic (like me), the thought of handing your date a poorly made cooler – especially next to those impeccably painted ones – can be a real nightmare. Here are some semi-easy coolers for inspiration this formal season.
