I think I’ve finally found the reason why I never go out…douchebags. It’s not the money, it’s not the hassle of getting ready, it’s not even the baby prostitutes with fake IDs; it’s the guys. With everything I have going on during my final semester of college, going out is (surprisingly) my last priority. So on the rare occasions I do decide to go out on the town, I want to make sure it’s totally worth it. This means I’m not trying to deal with stupid bullshit all night, like straight guys who wear more sparkles on their clothing than I do. Recently, I’ve acquired “douchebag radar.” Now, to teach others how to turn on their douchebag radar, I will share several warning signs to be aware of to avoid wasting your night out on men who think they’re hotter than you.

Late Monday evening, the newest Dancing With the Stars cast was announced, and from the looks of it this season actually might be worth watching. After 11 seasons, the whack-jobs they chose as cast members are enough for me to tune in. Shall we?

As I began my final semester of college, I look back on the past four and a half years… wondering… what I did, what I should have done, and what I should NOT have done. So, I’ve decided to write a letter from myself – from a seniors’ perspective to myself – as a freshman. With this letter, I hope to pass on any advice and knowledge I have acquired along the way to all the fish at universities starting their college career this fall.

The fall semester is just around the corner for most students, and for many this is their first semester at college and their rude awakening to the Freshman 15. Ha, good luck! For me, I didn’t have a problem with the freshman 15. I was raised in a household where fried chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy were regulars on the dinner menu.

Delinquency in the NFL is at a high this year and has received more than enough negative attention in the latter end of this past decade.

With drug possession, controlled substances, barroom brawls, sexual assault, gunshots and disorderly conduct, and prostitution with an under aged young woman, it seems that the integrity and social standards of the NFL is at an all time low.

Initially, worries of low water levels on Lake Travis threatened to cancel AquaPalooza. Then, Hurricane Alex was headed toward the Texas coastline with plenty of rain to dump over the Austin area, possibly flooding Lake Travis. Luckily, those bullets have been dodged. Now, with AquaPalooza just a few days away, everyone’s biggest worry is if they’ll have enough booze to last them through the day.

I was recently engaged in a friendly debate with Drew, one of the founding members of The Campus Socialite, about whether iPhones or BlackBerrys were better. Ultimately, the choice depends on which one personally fits your lifestyle, but I have decided to take it upon myself to compare the two based on what I think is important to a Campus Socialite and to a business owner.
