Back in the day, wellness dorms were dorms that were designated for students committed to living a healthy lifestyle that was alcohol free. We normally had programming covering all areas of wellness-from emotional to physical.

My sorority sis lived in Brady/Wood. Small world indeed

Mysch/Hurst. My best friend actually worked at Shwoody (As we called it back in the day).

When I was at BSU many moons ago, I was a residence assistant at one of the dorms in LaFollette. While I was there, our dorm played host to the SAE frat because their house sustained damage somehow and they worked out a deal to live in our study-halls until it was rebuilt that semester. I remember this quite vividly…

That is horrible! I don't know what I would have done if a co-worker had done that with my first dance. Good thing your uncle was such a great guy to step in.

I know I wrote this once before. But seriously, the only way that we can be free of them is to stop paying them any attention. Seriously. It's like the episode of The Simpsons where the ads came to life and started attacking Springfield. Just don't look. Although I think maybe we need a jingle from Linda Perry as…

I honestly think the reason why no one stopped her is that Mabel is known to pull stuff like this. Seriously, she lives to name drop (She knows actor Rocky Carroll and says it to everyone she meets) and take over things like funerals and family reunions. She's honestly one of the reasons that my hubby and I are only…

My narcissistic cousin"Mabel" almost seriously screwed up my father-daughter dance at my wedding. My father is legally blind and was really worried about dancing with me. So, we chose something that we used to dance to in the kitchen -My Girl by the Temptations. It was something he was comfortable twirling me around…

Seriously? Donna at 13? Dude-her cousin is Ginuwine for pete's sake. That alone should at least get her in the top ten. Not to mention her awesome brother Lavondrius.

Two weeks ago I jokingly told my husband that Matt Lauer has singlehanded killed more 'black lingo' than anyone else. Slang like dissed, twerking and bling existed forever before Matt started using it-giving the signal for everyone from your 86-year old grandma to Anderson Cooper that's it's ok to use (usually…

My money is on Miss Patti. She's fierce.

Don't feel bad. My younger brother had a "crush" on my sister's Rainbow Brite. He would constantly steal the doll from my sister and took her everywhere. He also watched Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer every day with her. Eventually mom had to confiscate both the doll (around the time he called it his girlfriend)…

That is awesome!

When I was in second grade, I got in trouble for writing an essay declaring that I wanted to be a bond girl when I grew up. I thought it was a fabulous career choice because they wore pretty clothes , drove nice cars and got to smooch Bond. Unfortunately, the nuns and faculty at my Catholic school didn't agree and…

Kanye, I'm going to let you finish...but it seems like Amber just took you out with the Ray J tweet. If I were you, I would just apologize and quit while you can. Especially considering that you just okayed a relationship between a 25 year old and an underage minor. Still Team Amber on that fact alone.

So, basically TLC (or whoever airs this mess) is planning to turn this girl's painful abusive history into a story line for a reality show. That is messed up. Why would anyone sign off on that?

I'm a big fan of ModCloth. They have really expanded their plus-size selections as of late. I bought a dress I loved for the Chicago Auto Show's First look for Charity Event last week and it was the business. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of going to thrift stores because they usually have unique plus size selections that…

So why is Amber Rose enemy number one when she pointed out how gross Tyga's relationship with an underage teen is when Drake's song dissing them is ok?

Ok, seriously. Fuck. This. Guy. I'm a huge fan of Diane Rehm (totally NPR geek) and have read her harrowing account of her husband's suffering. No one who is familiar with her would ever accuse her of wanting to harm her husband out of malice. As someone who lost a beloved uncle who chose to take his life instead of…

I gave my little sister the IngenuiTEA for Christmas 2 years ago and she raves about it every time she sees me. She's a total tea fanatic and uses it several times a day.
