Are you heading to the beach this summer? Aside from your adorable new bikini, your hair is another key aspect of your overall beach look. After an especially unattractive hair situation at the pool this past weekend, I decided a post on beach (or pool) hair was necessary. Learn from my mistakes and enjoy a [...]
“I just do not have time!” “There are not enough hours in the day for me to squeeze in a workout!” “I am just so tired at the end of the day I do not have any energy to go workout!” “Go Workout!? I have barely had time to eat something today!” The above are [...]
Two years ago I graduated college. I woke up, put on my cute flowered dress, threw the ugly ‘recyclable’ black gown over it, and headed downstairs to take pictures with my roommates outside. It was early and I was hungover. I was about to say goodbye to a college campus full of people that I [...]
My boyfriend and I moved in together two years ago this month, and that fact kind of blows my mind. How did we get so old? Why am I not in college anymore? What is going on? Seriously. When we first moved in together, I was pretty nervous we might kill each other over who [...]
In honor of National College Graduation Month (aka May… and yeah, we totally made that up), we will be posting ‘Where Are They Now‘ articles written by recent grads and graduating seniors. We will be adding new articles and 20-somethings to the list all month, so keep checking back for more! Just Graduated: Bisola J. [...]
One of my greatest fears in life, ironically enough, stems from one of my greatest passions. As a writer, being generic is something that everyone is desperately seeking to avoid. We read the classic authors, study the famous literature, and immerse ourselves in the historical culture of a time when “generic” had no meaning. We [...]
Author: Kelsee Hankins Congratulations Graduates! Or congrats to those of you who are soon-to-be-graduates! You’ve worked your butt off for four (or more) years at this point and you are ready to take on the world! Lots of huge changes may be happening, but that’s ok, you just graduated and you’ll know how to handle [...]
Two years ago I graduated college. I woke up, put on my cute flowered dress, threw the ugly ‘recyclable’ black gown over it, and headed downstairs to take pictures with my roommates outside. It was early and I was hungover. I was about to say goodbye to a college campus full of people that I [...]
‘What do you want to be when you grow up?‘ I remember being asked this question constantly when I was a little girl and always knowing the answer. First, I wanted to be a cat (yes – the animal)… Then, after I realized that wasn’t going to happen (ever), I thought up other ideas. I [...]
Author: Lauren Stewart This December it will be two years since I graduated from college. At times, I feel like it still hasn’t hit me. My life doesn’t feel a whole lot different since I graduated last. Perhaps it will feel more real when my boyfriend graduates this December. I think back to where I [...]
Author: Taylor Craven About a year ago this time, I was stressing about final exams, and sorting out the final details of my quickly approaching graduation. As I was finishing up decorating my rhinestone incrusted grad cap, I was far from the mindset of “I should probably start looking for a job.” It never occurred [...]
Middle School and early high school were defiantly the glory days for TRL, in my book, and like Sam had mentioned, rushing home from school to watch a countdown the rarely changed was the most exciting part of my day. And remember when BSB or N*Sync would show up, and actually shut down times square?! [...]
Back in the day, long before people could watch videos on the internet, MTV actually used to play music (yes – as in more music than the 10 second clips they play at the end of Jersey Shore and Teen Wolf). Sure, they aired a random cartoon here and there (Daria anyone?), but they also [...]
Author: Samantha Matt As a kid I cared about very few things. I cared about what teacher I was assigned to for the next year. I cared about getting to dance class on time. And I cared about going to Toys R Us on a weekly basis to purchase toys. From stuffed animals to board [...]

Author: Jennifer Barackman It sneaks up on you slowly. Then you start to see the signs and wham it’s upon you…your first friend’s engagement. Suddenly, the simple act of signing onto Facebook can seem like an attack, you never know what new engagements lurk around the corner. And trust me it’s normal to have that [...]
The past week has really been an eye opener for me. I do not want to grow up. In fact, I am very happy where I am right now – sitting on my girly bed, watching a Lifetime movie, surrounded by pink, black, and white decor – and it would be ideal if I could [...]

Author: Maggie Voelker As if the myriad of denim options wasn’t confusing enough, in addition to options like skinny, cropped, flare, wide-leg, boot cut, acid wash, dark was and distressed, colored denim is the newest trend to have been thrown into the mix. In fact, my search for new jeans is beginning to sound a [...]
Author: Erika Sloan Hi 20-Somethings! As part of a “Freaky Friday” idea that we had over at TwentyTweets, your founder, Sam, was gracious enough to guest post on our blog. Be sure to check out Sam’s That’s So 90s post on TwentyTweets! Like Sam, I’m a recent college grad. When I started working last June, [...]
They’re back. The boy bands are back. And as a 23-year-old, I’m not ashamed at all in the fact that I’m happy about this. This is probably also because I’m a self-declared Britney fan and blast “Call Me Maybe” an inappropriate number of times as I weave my way through the Chicago suburbs each day, [...]

In honor of Mother’s Day, we are recognizing moms in a slightly different way than you would think. Today we are bringing you the world’s worst moms! Vote in the comments on which mom you think takes the crown for absolute worst mom ever: The Tanning Mom: She looks like she just baked herself in [...]
Two years ago from today, I asked myself probably 100 times while wiping my eyes with a full pack of tissues where the past 4 years went. Now, exactly two years later, I am asking where the last 2 years went (minus the tears, tissues, and college friends). May 23rd 2010, I graduated from Ithaca [...]
I have big plans for myself. We’re talking huge; which is why I am currently living in number 62 market, Fort Myers, Florida. I graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania one year ago with a degree in Communications, specifically broadcast journalism. Philadelphia is a number five market. When I say market I mean how [...]
Author: Cathy Kirch To talk about my year since graduation, I have to back up a couple months before Pomp and Circumstance blasted through soccer stadium speakers. I was just finishing up the long application process for a summer job in a non-profit organization I had worked for the summer previous. Since my supervisor and [...]
