National Rum day is coming up on Saturday, August 16th (that’s this Saturday!), and I for one could not be more grateful. I mean, what better way to stew in denial that the summer’s almost over, than by day-drinking my go-to summertime liquor, amirite? Thankfully Captain Morgan has come through in the clutch with their new White Rum. It’s slightly sweet with a hint of fruit, and its light and crisp flavor is perfect for your National Rum Day celebration, whether it be poolside, lakeside, or backyard-side. Okay, so now thatRead More

I’ve always found the concept of breaking up with someone both unsettling and sad. Whenever I hear of a friend or family member’s relationship coming to an end, I feel somewhat disappointed that another love has failed yet again. Coming from a family where my parents met and fell in love at 15, I grew up believing in the whole “fairy-tale” ending phenomenon. I just didn’t understand how if two people loved each other so much they could even fathom ending things. I think this is part of the reasonRead More

-McKayla Maroney- Twitter: @McKaylaMaroney Instagram: mckaylamaroney Known for: Starring for the USA Women’s Gymnastics Team, notably winning one gold and one silver medal at the 2012 Summer Games.   -In the Summer Olympics of 2012, McKayla Maroney captured America’s hearts by winning one gold medal, and perhaps just as memorably, providing a facial expression that generated a thousand memes when she showed her displeasure at finishing second in a different event. But since the 2012 games, the then-16 year-old has grown up a bit, and turned from a precocious young gymnastRead More

Recent events have inspired me to web wander into the atrocious abyss that is OkCupid and create a profile. Recent events include but are not limited to: being the third wheel to friends and their brunch dates, realizing my sexual activity rate (0%), and watching my relatives celebrate the legalization of gay marriage in this state because they think I am a lesbian. Browsing, messaging and, essentially, applying on OkCupid is a combined concoction of a depletion of one’s soul and visionless hope. It is like applying for your dream jobRead More

They’re back, America. After last year’s chart-topping, breakthrough single, “Football on Your Phone,” the Manning brothers have returned to the music biz with their latest smash hit, “Fantasy Football Fantasy.” Watch below as everyone’s favorite awkward, white quarterbacks get straight ill on the track. The rap game will never be the same again.    Read More

Since I’m going to be one of many that are posting about Robin Williams over the next couple days, I’ll let you read other articles to find out about his life, his work, and his influence on the world around him.  He was obviously an awesome human being and one of the funniest to ever live.  His comedy was on another level, and truly something that nobody else has been able to emulate.  He was a unique individual, and had the ability to make anything into a funny situation.  IRead More

I once met a wonderful couple at a wedding that had been married for nearly 50 years. When I asked them what the secret was to a long-lasting marriage, the wife paused, looked at me and said, “Alcohol.” It happens: We meet the person of our dreams, fall in love, wake up smiling and go to bed feeling perfect. We make a conscious effort with our appearance and stay up late talking on the phone. We shower each other with surprises and spontaneous adventures. We take our love into considerationRead More

Rant: I am so tired of seeing “# Signs You Don’t Have a Grip on Being a Lady” and other shitty titles with 5 million likes and tweets accompanied by messages of understanding. Just because you can’t make a pie, you like to wear pants, and you are comfortable going several days without shaving or plucking a single hair does not mean you’ve lost your grip on femininity; perhaps it means you define it differently. Or maybe you just don’t care about societal expectations and gender roles. You do you.Read More

Noah Ritter apparently hasn’t been on live television before, but he is a natural! If this little ginger hasn’t made his way into your heart yet… be prepared. Not to sound dramatic — but he is the most adorable 5 year old on earth.   “Aparentllyyyyyyy I went down the super slide and I was nearly scared haf to deaf!” I love this kid. I mean I would feel the same way going down the Super Slide! Then he got interviewed by Good Morning America and the cuteness continued…   HisRead More

Television has a way of getting to us. After season upon season spent investing time, energy, and emotion into the development and nuances of the characters in a given series, we often connect to TV characters in a way that we do not to fictional people in other forms of media. Watching heartbreaking things happen to characters you have come to know intimately often feels personal and devastating. Here are my picks for the ten saddest moments in television history. Oh yeah…and SPOILER ALERT!!!!!, obviously.   #10: The Fresh Prince ofRead More

  -Skylar Diggins- Twitter: @SkyDigg4 Instagram: skydigg4 Known for: Ballin’ out for the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock, and previously for the Notre Dame ladies’ team.   -When I think of WNBA players, the word “sexy” isn’t one that usually comes to mind. Most WNBA players aren’t exactly the type of women that get heterosexual males like myself excited. Skylar Diggins is the exception – a gorgeous guard for the Tulsa Shock, Diggins is a hell of an athlete, and a pretty beautiful lady. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter for sure, butRead More

Just as some men are better off on our TV screens, these fellas are definitely better off on the Silver Screen… Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings Relationship Status: It’s Complicated with Arwen Aragorn is a handsome Prince who is loyal and brave, not to mention he has a big sword and knows how to use it. But chances are all his brooding would get old fast. He’s constantly in mortal danger and like, yeah, it’s all for the greater good to save the world whatever, but can you imagine how stressful it’d beRead More

When you open the door, you’re welcomed with a cool jazz number, the overwhelming aroma of the daily brew, and the enticement of little french pastries that cost close to minimum wage. Ah, Starbucks. I spent six years calling out names, multi-tasking drink orders, donning the green apron, and being considered “stupid in three different languages.” (Thank you, everyone who finds that joke to be original.) My time as a barista with the company was nothing short of rewarding, as I was able to make solid friendships and learn theRead More

Unless you’re a trust-fund babe living in a coked-out fantasyland, you have a job.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 15.7 percent of us work in wholesale or retail trade.  In other words, 15.7 percent of the workforce doesn’t remember what a weekend feels like.  For some people, it’s the job they hope to have for years.  For the rest of us, it’s simply a job we work while keeping our eyes wide open for bigger and better possibilities.  While it seems like most of my friends have movedRead More
