I’ve always been interested in knowing the things nobody tells you — or at least, the things not many people tell you. I hate feeling like I’ve missed a vital piece of advice that could have made something a lot easier, less stressful and frankly, just more enjoyable.
I was planning on writing something really great this week, but then I got addicted to Flappy Bird.
The multilingual song prompted #SpeakAmerican to trend on Twitter.

“(P)lease drop the ‘rape culture’ label because it’s an ugly label that our campus doesn’t deserve. At the very least, back up the use of this term with some evidence and convince me that our campus is as dangerous as these letters make it out to be,” Ohio Universty Senior Seth Miller asked in a letter published in Monday’s Post.

As if the frosty weather weren’t enough chill for me, I finally saw Frozen, Disney’s latest animated film, over the weekend.
Curling wands have become increasingly popular during the past year and I’ve heard from a few of my readers that they haven’t quite mastered the new hair tool. Everyone has different methods of styling hair, but for the beauty ’Cats who asked for my advice (and anyone else who may be curious), here is how I personally style my hair using a curling wand.
On Friday, the Board of Trustees approved the OHIO Guarantee Program (previously called guaranteed tuition), despite a student protest blockading its bus the day before in opposition to the plan.
Every week, I look forward to a new Jenna Marbles video. I can always count on them making me laugh, but this week’s did even more.
