Your Awkwardness for the Day: Breathable Chocolate

As my Sunday was winding down last night, I came across Mo Rocca’s show on the cooking channel all about chocolate. Yes, I am that cool - that's what I was doing with myself on a Sunday night . . . Watching a show about insane chocolate desserts and anything else you could possibly think of that...

Parents: Check Your Kids

Today I was enjoying some delish post-workout grub at Whole Foods when I spotted a parent being absolutely owned by her kids. Here's the scene: me sitting quietly at my table eating my sushi, mom being distracted and not watching her children, said children taking things of mine off my table. I'm...

Ultimate College Apartment

I thought college students in Boston had the most pride for the college life. Guys mostly, hang posters of their school's football team (or cheerleading team), flags in their windows, a whole basket full of ping pong balls in the entry way, a stack to the ceiling of solo cups, and if you're lucky a...

Don't Try This At Home

Or really anywhere, ever. But don't roll your eyes at this just yet. Apparently there's some new activity called "Vodka Eyeballing" that is garnering a lot of publicity because of it's, obviously, horrifying nature. Unfortunately it is pretty much what it sounds like, pouring a shot of vodka into...

Just to Clarify... Taylor Swift Is Not Country

...Taylor Swift is NOT country. Saying "I love county!" when a Taylor Swift song comes on does not exactly count. Saying "I love shallow pop music by a creepy boy obsessive 21 year old whose intended demographic is 13 year old girls" would make a little bit more sense. Taylor Swift was at one time...

Put Your Sushi In my Burrito

Sushi is possibly the most well-known form of Japanese cuisine in America. From its humble beginnings at a Los Angeles restaurant in 1960, sushi has rolled its way up the charts, with restaurants charging upwards of $75 for a piece of Japanese eel. With so many restaurants offering sushi, (I’ve...

Are You Average?

If your college life isn't drunk or stoned enough to post on textsfromlastnight.com, no fear there's a blog site just for you. My Life Is Average is a blog site similar to TFLN except it's normal, kinda quirky thoughts made hilarious when said out loud. WARNING: This is just another time-...

Filthy.

This morning I had a gross-out epiphany. Have you ever noticed when you get to the end of the roll its all torn up with scraps of TP hanging off it? Think about it... how vile. Someone legitimately scratched up the remains of that and used it to wipe their butt. Are you clean after that? I...

High End Bunk Bed

I wish I had this when I lived in a dorm. Class up your space with a convertable bunk bed by Resource Furniture.  Complete with integrated ladder, the space saver is easy to use (so says the site). Simply flip it open, like a futon and Ta-Da! Bunk Bed. Save space, and make your dorm a little...
