The Students' Lifestyle

I never heard of Coco Jones before, but thanks to the ads on Youtube I now know who she is. Her latest music video "Holla At The DJ" refreshed my memory of Coco Jones. She starred in the original Disney Channel Movie Let It Shine. Many preteens and Disney fans may know her. The video is pretty simple and cute.

After watching the Dark Knight Rises, I fell in love with  the adorable baby faced Joseph Gordon Levitt. While looking up his dating history, I was surprised that he dated Megan Good for six months.

Cassie is back! After being featured with the over-sized overrated so called Barbie Nicki Minaj on her song The Boyz, Cassie had to leave that childish ish behind and head to the desert to clear her mind. What's a girl to do in the desert but sing her lungs out while flipping through her mohawk hair to prevent dirt from touching it.  Cassie is not my cup of tea, but some of you may like her song "End Of The Line". I would rate the song a 2 out of 5 stars. Not that it's bad, it just takes some time to grow on me. In the meantime enjoy the video.

There are less than two weeks left to get your Christmas shopping done, and I'm sure that some of you have at least one person you haven't crossed off your list. Maybe you don't know what their size is, or not sure what they would like. Since we've already posted suggestions on gifts that you could gift,  it's time to post ones that you shouldn't. I like to assume that most of our readers are very reasonable, but this is a "just in case" post for any of you who may be tempted to give one of these bad gifts.

Saying Kim has a cute shape doesn't mean I want it myself

I'm not even sure why anyone would gift this, but here's a word of advice: DON'T. Unless the person you're gifting for specifically asks for this for Christmas, leave these bottles on the shelf. It sends the message that the recipient is may be just a tad bit over weight. It's not good for the self esteem, and may even be dangerous to your own health. The same rule applies to gift memberships to Weight Watchers and the gym -don't gift it unless they ask (or they're a fitness junkie)!

"It's funny how someone who was a stranger last year, can mean so much to you now. It's terrible that someone who meant so much to you last year, can be just a stranger now. It's amazing what a year can do."

This quote above describes the friendships that I've experienced in college. My first year in college I've met amazing friends. We hang out everyday, but now, this being my second year, I'm not around the same group of people. What happened? How can the people who were once so close drift apart so suddenly?

Do you these happy parents had any idea that their little kids would grow to be stars? Can you guess who these baby faced beauties grew up to be? Take a guess, and see the answer after the break!

The mother of mid life crises, Demi Moore was dipping it low at the Chanel beach side BBQ. Like most people who get a little bit tipsy, Moore got a little loose and started getting down like it was nobody's business. However, Lenny doesn't seem to be too happy with her being so close. Well at least she's enjoying herself. I love how she's the only one dancing...

Meet Your New Professors

Finding a gift for your significant other can be hard. To help eliminate some stress, we put together a few items that can be a perfect gift on Christmas.

Many of you may have known about my past celebrity crush Jesse Williams. However, Jesse is now married to his long time girlfriend. After giving my heart time to heal, I finally found a new crush. His name is Diego Boneta. You may know him from his current show on MTV called Underemployed.

I'm in love with New Zealand singer Kimbra. My favorite song is "Two Way Street". I didn't think anyone could top Kimbra's song, but a Youtuber who goes by the name Lakyn does an amazing job on the song. Ladies, don't you just love a man who can sing and play an instrument? Check out his cover!

It's been a while since I liked a song from Ciara, but her recent single, "Got Me Good", is unexpectedly good. The video is actually pretty refreshing. She does the complex choreography that we love to see her do. I really wish she can be the hit that she once was before. The video was released three weeks ago and only gained 3 million views. I had no clue she even released a new video. I think she needs a better promotional team. Anyways, let's help Ciara gain viewers. Watch and tells us what you think of the new video.

After having exams all this week, I've decided  to rest my brain. After seeing the trailer once, I was anxious to see "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", which is based on a book by the same name. Coming into the movie, I didn't know what to expect. Some of my thoughts while waiting for the movie to play: "Is this going to be a predictable teenage movie? What exactly is this movie about? I hope this isn't a waste of  time." The film opens with the main character Charlie, played by Logan Lerman, who is writing a letter to "a friend" about being nervous on his first day of high school.

Really appreciate everyone who voted for us! Shineh and I will keep working on bring you great content, and a better blog as we continue on our journey.

Just a reminder to our PLL fans, tomorrow at 8/7ct  on ABC Family a new Halloween episode will air. Like many of the previous seasons, you can expect the usually chaos. I'm pretty sure A will not be reveal, but someone does die in this episode and singer Adam Lambert will make an appearance. Tune in to see. 

 Even though it doesn't feel like it here in the South, Fall is in full swing! Many of the stores and magazines have been rolling out their fall looks.We know that you're just itching to grab the latest styles, but read these tips first to get the most out of your money.

Brandy's newest single" Let Me Go" samples the weird but lovely singer Lykke Li. Brandy is not the first singer to sample Swedish singer Lykke Li. Drake sampled her music in his song "Little Bit". The song is a head banger, but I don't see it topping any charts. I love Brandy either ways. The song is great, but not my personal favorite... maybe it has to grow on me.

Sometimes what we need and what we want can cause inner conflicts in our hearts. Many of us want a boyfriend or girlfriend, but are unsure if we need it. If you're single the advice you've heard too many times is to wait and your true love will find you. Waiting is the hardest thing to do because many of us grow impatient. It's like standing in a long line waiting to find the love of our life at the end, but some of us tend to stop waiting and walk away. Once we walk away, we may settle for what's in front of us. If that someone in front of us appears  nice, sweet, and thoughtful we may give them a chance. However, when their bad qualities start appearing we may turn away thinking how naive we were and become a bit scared to open our hearts again to someone new. Some of us may even become a bit jealous when we see other couples together or our friends finding love.  What to do when you're feeling a bit blue about being single?

A  congratulations goes out to singer Tiffany Evans and her husband Lorenzo Henderson for the birth of their first child! Their gorgeous baby girl was born Tuesday, September 25.

Ladies, have you ever wondered how a guy looks when he's dancing behind you? Dormtainment gives us the answer in this hilarious video.

The 2012 elections are quickly approaching and campus voter registrations drives are in full effect, on my campus. I'm happy to see so many people excited to be able to vote, but I'm also concerned about how they vote. I've seen and heard many claims from the two parties camps that the public has accepted without a fact check. I'm not here to endorse a candidate or tell you which party is the best, but I do want you to make an informed decision about who you select in the November ballot.

One of my favorite shows while in junior high school was Nick Cannon's Wild N Out. I was sad that it ended, but now the show is coming back!

Orange Caramel released a new cutesy song and video called "Lipstick". Sidenote- I love the groups name. The song was sorta annoying to me at first, but it later grew on me. The trio wore very girly and feminine clothing. These girls are far from the bad girl image that we usually see from artists like 2ne1 and Rihanna.

I'm forever thankful to my Facebook friend for sharing Kimbra's music on his Facebook page.Thanks to him I've fallen in love with her music and I can't get enough of her. So don't be surprised that I'm listening to her as I write this post.You may recognize Kimbra from Gotye’s Somebody that I used to Know video, but she is so much more than just a featured artist.

We're happy to announce that The SLS has been nominated for Best Teen Blog in the Black Web Blog Awards! We are super excited and would love for you all to support us. Shineh and I would be so honored to win.Once voting starts , we'll post the link so you can vote for us! 

Before entering college, I fantasized about my college experience.  I often thought that college would be a lot like the movies. In reality college was far from a Hollywood production movie.

Coming across money in college is hard, but sometimes keeping it is even harder. From parties to hanging out with friends, your funds can suddenly disappear in a matter of days. If you're constantly finding your bank account stuck on E, then it's time to figure out where it's all going.

Mr. Taxi

Hope they've got gas money ....

Playing chauffeur for your friend who doesn't have a car is a nice thing to do, but it can be pretty pricey. If you haven't noticed, gas is high, and driving your buddy back and forth to the grocery store, the mall, and to his girlfriend's house is taking a hit on your tank. Instead of giving free rides all the time, ask your friend to put a few dollars in the tank for the trouble. As a wise man once said, "If you ain't got five, then you can't get in".

Each year brings new challenges. Since this is my second year in school, I decided to gather a list of goals that I would like to accomplish:

I honestly didn't care when I heard the news that Lady GaGa was creating a new fragrance. She was just joining in the likes of celebs like as Rihanna and Beyonce who decided to take their shot in the fragrance business. It wasn't until I actually saw the ad for GaGa's fragrance Fame in magazine that I became interested. The photo looks like it'd be the cover of her next album, or even a photo shoot for some artsy magazine, but for a perfume? No. Who wants to smell like dirty, naked men have been crawling over your body? I'm sure even truly dedicated Monsters wouldn't want to go around smelling like dirt. So when I saw the new bottle sitting on the perfume counter in a department store this weekend, I had to take a look.

Every girl wants a Prince Charming in her life, and finding the right guy can sometimes mean going through many, many frogs. Yet, there are some ladies who are so desperate for a relationship they make themselves believe they've found Mr. Right when their guy is Mr. Wrong. Here are a few dead giveaways to help you find out if your guy needs to be tossed back into the mud.

Since we shared GDragon’s new video One of a Kind, we thought it only right to introduce you Psy, another YG artist who's been making waves this month. Psy has been getting lots of love for his viral hit Gangnam Style. The video has gained over 50million views on Youtube,been spotted in various American news sources, and inspired countless covers and parodies online.
