Crushes are supposed to be a fun way to explore who and what you’re attracted to – and are a great way to distract yourself in class, of course. Sometimes, though, our crushes are ultimate no-nos, and it’s important to just admire them from afar. Here are some people that are soooo attractive for all the right (and wrong) reasons, but that you maybe (definitely) don’t want to go after:

1. The Best Friend

Out of every person on this list, she is probably the easiest to fall for. Every queer girl has been through it at some point in her life, whether it was as long ago as in middle school or as recent as just yesterday during girls' night in. We get it; you already love everything about her, and this seems like it could be so easy. But please, save yourself the struggle (because it will be a struggle). While there are plenty of fish in the sea, your best friend is one in a million. It’s better not to risk the friendship unless you’re 100 percent sure it’s going to work.

2. The Roommate

Not only is this the person you see every day, but chances are, you’ve probs already seen her naked. This Carmilla-like romance is super appealing because there’s no need to travel far for a sexy sleepover. This could work out if she’s already crushing on you right back. But #lesbehonest, do you really want to be sharing an apartment with your girlfriend basically instantaneously? We didn’t think so.

3. The Unattainable Straight Girl

This is the part where we save you from yourself. The unattainable straight girl is a beautiful, mystical breed that every queer girl desires to capture. Like a majestic unicorn, she floats through your life (and captures your heart) with her lighthearted jokes that you’re totally her type and her hugs that last a few seconds too long. This siren of the queer-girl-dating sea is nearly impossible to catch; the moment that you think you have her in your reach, she’s already running back to her boyfriend.

4. The Attractive TA

Let’s get this straight: This is not Pretty Little Liars, you are not Aria and she is not the female Ezra. While she’s extremely attractive and suuuper smart, it’s probably not in your best interest to date her right now. Not only is she in charge of your grade, but depending on what school you go to, she could possibly get fired if anyone found out you were dating. If you two do get together, it should be long after the semester is over; in that case, it could be a great experience for her to teach you a little bit more—and this is a lesson plan you definitely don’t want to miss out on.

5. Your Sorority Sister

You’ve had a slight lingering attraction to her since you first spoke to her at bid day, and now that you’ve gotten to know her better, you’re totally hooked. Being in a sorority together, you already know that you share similar values. While this can definitely work, keep in mind that if this does go wrong, it can produce some pretty awkward feelings when you have to get together for chapter events. Like, all the time…

6. Your Ex’s Ex

We know, the queer community on your campus is most likely tiny, so this might not be entirely out of the ordinary. Considering you both dated the same person, you probably even have tons in common! But then all of the annoying habits that she has reminds you of why your mutual ex told you she dumped her in the first place. Skip!

7. The Mentor

Ever since you met your mentor, you basically decided you want to be her when you grow up. She’s a grown woman who knows what she wants out of life, and the fiery passion she has for her career makes her undeniably sexy. While you can probably learn a thing or two from being in a relationship with a grown woman, you could also lose an important connection in your field if it ends badly, so it’s probably best to keep admiring her persistence from a strictly platonic standpoint and maintain a more professional relationship. Sad, we know.

There are plenty of girls that you’ll end up dating so make sure not to lose sight of other crush-worthy ladies around you!

This week, Forever 21 announced the launch of their new plus-size activewear section in US stores and online. They first debuted an athletic line in 2010, and the trendy workout gear has only gotten better in the past few years—it was about time the collection became even more inclusive of all women. To kick off the launch of the new collection, the label photographed plus-size model Ashley Graham.

The new line features abstract-printed sports bras and mesh panel leggings, sleeveless heather-knit pullovers and full zip-ups, graphic leggings and sports bras, and much more. The clothing sizes range from extra-large to 3XL. Prices differ depending on the piece—sports bras range from $14.90 to $19.90 while the leggings are priced from $15.90 to $27.90.

With a wide variety of activewear clothing, each piece is designed for a different type of workout. Between cycling, running and yoga, the new collection is everything you could want in your gym clothes. That’s not even the best part, though. With this line being so versatile, it embodies that athleisure look, which means it’s totally acceptable to rock this collection outside the gym, too.

Whether leggings are an appropriate form of clothing seems like the question of the century. There are a lot of mixed feelings towards leggings. While some people think they’re a godsend, other believe we need to stop wearing these fashion tragedies immediately. We think that there are absolutely no good reasons for anyone to tell you not to wear leggings. In fact, here are 19 of our favorite reasons why you should never stop rocking leggings (despite what others may say)!

1. They are literally the comfiest things ever made.

They’re the only bottoms that you have absolutely no problem falling asleep in.

2. There are leggings for every types of occasion.

Faux leather leggings, jean leggings, patterned leggings, fleece-lined leggings… you have to have them all!

3. They’re the only things that feel like pajamas without looking like pajamas.

No one could ever guess that you slept in them last night.

4. They’re better for travelling because they’re lighter.

That means more room for your shoes!

5. You have no problem wearing them with boots (unlike jeans).

Just because jeans say they’re “boot cut” doesn’t mean they’re going to tuck nicely into your boots.

6. They don’t cut off your circulation.

Did you know someone once died trying to fit into skinny jeans?

7. They’re the perfect solution for when your top is too long to be a shirt, but too short to be a dress.

They literally resolved the problem of the century.

8. One word: Jeggings.

These are God’s greatest gift to the modern millennial woman.

9. Most of our favorite celebrities regularly rock leggings.

If Beyoncé wears them, then I’m going to wear them.

10. You have complete flexibility in them. 

You need me to climb a tree to save that cat? Lucky I have my leggings on!

11. They show off your curves.

There’s nothing wrong with flaunting what you got, if that’s what you want!

12. They looked good with literally any type of shoe.

And this means a whole new world of possible outfits.

13. They are usually super inexpensive.

You can own dozens and dozens of pairs without breaking the bank.

14. You can easily transition them from day-to-night attire. 

Take off the hoodie and throw a sparkly top on with heels and you’re ready to party.  

15. They can also easily transition into gym clothes.

Just trade your top for a sports bra and hit those weights!

16. You can eat whatever you want without your pants feeling to tight.

This means they’re perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts!

17. High-waisted leggings can help hold everything in (comfortably).

You can never tell whether I’ve had Chipotle or not.

18. Anyone who is against leggings has probably just never owned a pair.

And thus we should all feel sorry for them.

19. Because no one should tell you how you should or should not dress.

Fashion isn’t about pleasing anyone else but yourself!

Even if leggings aren’t your style, you can’t deny the many benefits they offer the modern woman. Don’t be discouraged if someone tells you that you shouldn’t wear leggings. Just remember you have the comfiest pants to cuddle up in when you go home at night, and they probably don’t. 

After her show-stopping 2013 performance where she SHUT. IT. DOWN., Beyoncé will once again be performing at the Super Bowl this year, headlining with Coldplay. According to Cosmopolitan, the songstress will be there with the rock band after having made a guest appearance on their latest album, "A Head Full of Dreams."

The "Flawless" singer was just confirmed to be there for the February 7th show by Pepsi, who sponsors the halftime show (and with whom the Queen Bey herself has made numerous commercials). Check out one of her last commercials with the soda enterprise below as a way to hold you over until the Super Bowl!

The college applications are in, transcripts are sent and now it’s time to wait. Or, you could go the extra mile and do an interview with an admissions counselor or alumnus!

College interviews are a chance for admissions officers to get to know you on a more personal level; after all, they can only learn so much from your GPA! In order to shine during your interview, avoid these eight common college interview mistakes.

1. Don’t memorize your responses

If you’re nervous, it can be tempting to try to prepare your answers before an important interview. And while it’s always good to prepare, you want to make sure your responses don’t sound memorized and robotic. You may think of the interview as an intimidating Q&A in which an admissions counselor is peppering you with scary questions, but it’s meant to be more of a conversation.

“I never approach an interview with a laundry list of questions, but [I] try to tailor each discussion to be just that, a conversation that focuses on the student,” says Emily Anding, the assistant director of admission at Colorado College. Instead of memorizing answers to questions you think the interviewer will ask, do some light preparation and be ready to have a discussion about yourself and your goals.

Do a little research and some brainstorming for what might come up in the interview. Take a look at the college’s website and refresh your memory on the school and why you’re interested in it. Come prepared with some topics or questions you have, but there’s no need to prepare your answers in full!

2. Don’t underdress

We know this isn’t a job interview, but dressing nicely is just as important in a professional college interview! Just because this interview may not seem as “real” as a job interview doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be dressing up for it. Switch out those jeans and sneakers for a pencil skirt and flats.

Make sure you’re dressing appropriately. If your favorite blouse shows a little skin, you may want to skip it and go with a more conservative sweater. You want to impress the interviewer with your knowledge and achievements, so don’t distract them with your casual or inappropriate clothing choices!

As pre-collegiettes, it’s understandable that your closet may not be fully equipped with professional work wear, but have no fear! It’s most important to look clean, crisp and appropriate – even if that means skipping a blazer and pumps. Pair some dress pants with a nice, ironed blouse or a pencil skirt with a fancier cardigan. As long as you make the effort to look appropriate and professional, you’ll fit right in!

3. Don’t bring your parents in

Again, interviews can be a pretty intimidating experience, but we promise that sitting down with an admissions counselor isn’t scary enough to warrant bringing your parents in. College is the time to be completely independent, and dragging your mom into the room with you shows that you’re anything but ready for the freedom that comes with a college experience.

“Leave your parents in the waiting room, and make sure your parents know they will not be joining you in the interview,” says Mike Perron, dean of admissions at Becker College. “There will be plenty of time for the counselor to meet with the family after the interview, but the interview is a time for the prospective student and counselor to meet privately.”

4. Don't leave your cell on

We’re all using technology these days, but there’s a time and place for everything. Teenagers are notorious for being glued to their devices, so don’t give yourself a bad rap by leaving your cell on during the interview.

Switch your cell off and stick it in your bag for the interview so that it doesn’t interrupt you. Or, even better, hand it off to your parents.

5. Don’t ask obvious questions

The college application process can be a learning experience of sorts, but a college interview isn’t exactly the time to be asking what majors the school offers. It’s important to have a back-and-forth conversation with the interviewer, so don’t be afraid to ask questions – just make sure they aren’t the ones you should already know the answer to.

“Do your research,” Perron says. “You should not come to an interview asking basic questions, [like the] size of college, what majors do you have, [etc.]. This research should have [been] done beforehand.”

Do your basic research before the interview and think of some thoughtful questions to ask the interviewer that you wouldn’t be able to find out online or in a brochure. Ask about the experiences of students that are in the field you’re looking to go into or what sort of opportunities the college offers outside of academics. Try to tailor the questions to your interests and goals – it shows that you’ve done your research and that you’re truly interested in the school.

6. Don’t be shy

If the interviewer just wanted a yes or no answer, he or she could’ve sent you the questions over email! While you shouldn’t blab on to the point at which your answers become irrelevant, it’s important not to refrain from sharing. The interviewer doesn’t just want one-word answers to his or her questions; he or she is trying to get to know you.

Keep the conversation going by elaborating on your answer. For example, if the interviewer asks you about a position you held in an extracurricular group, talk about why you liked your role, what you did and what you learned from it. The interviewer can only know so much about you from your application, so this is your time to elaborate and impress him or her.

Janine, a collegiette who interviewed with a representative from Cornell, says that it’s important to participate in the conversation. “Just be yourself, and don’t be afraid to brag a little bit!” she says. If you start feeling shy, remember that this meeting exists so the interviewer can get to know you, so you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about talking about yourself!

7. Don’t be apathetic

Even if the school you’re interviewing at isn’t your top choice, you should be enthusiastic about speaking with your interviewer. Just because the college may not be your favorite doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it your all. If you show your interviewer that you’re excited about the school, he or she will be more inclined to keep the discussion going. You never know – you might learn something that changes your impression of the college entirely and realize it’s a great fit for you!

Be enthusiastic about your answers and show that you’re interested in the prospect of attending the school you’re interviewing for. Answer the questions with authority and a smile, and prepare some questions for your interviewer that will show your interest. Consider bringing up tidbits about the school that really impress you, and ask your interviewer to elaborate on them. It shows that you’re interested in the qualities that are unique to this school!

8. Don’t forget to follow up

As with any interview, it’s extremely important to follow up after a meeting with a college admissions rep. Interviewers probably visit with multiple students per day, so stand out as one of the good ones by following up with a thoughtful thank-you letter.

Within the next week after the interview (the sooner the better!) either handwrite a note or send an email thanking your interviewer for their time. Say that you appreciate him or her taking time out of his or her day to talk with you and educate you about the school. Be sure to show your interest in the college and your gratitude for their consideration. The more tailored and genuine your letter, the better!

The college interview is another step in the application process that lets admissions counselors get to know you better. And since it’s just you and your interviewer, it’s your time to shine! Make sure to avoid these common college interview mistakes and make the best of your one-on-one time!

When you're in college, reading for pleasure isn't something you get to do often—instead, you're faced with page after page of textbooks you have no interest in reading. But Emma Watson is giving us a reason to make time for books that have nothing to do with school. The actress has launched her very own book club—which Taylor Swift and J.K. Rowling are a part of—and we are all invited to join, too. 

The equality-themed book club, officially dubbed "Our Shared Shelf," reflects Emma's priorities of feminism and the different stories it tells. In a statement she posted to the site, she says, "I've been discovering so much that, at times, I've felt like my head was about to explode… I decided to start a Feminist book club, as I want to share what I'm learning and hear your thoughts too." Every month, Emma will post a new book, which you'll have the chance to discuss with her during the last week of each month. The first novel is My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem—who is also choosing to participate.

What other incentive do we need to start reading?

We all know SoulCycle as the cult-like cycling studio that has gained a national following for its popping music, atmosphere, and promise of an almost spiritual fitness experience. It looks like the brand is expanding, because SoulCycle just partnered with Target to provide a line of athletic apparel. SoulCycle and Target are also launching a tour of ten cities offering free pop-up classes. Interested fitness lovers will have to sign up for the chance to get a free class on the SoulCycle website. The competition is going to be fierce—so you're going to want to sign up ASAP.

The SoulCycle clothing options Target will be offering pretty much cover all the bases, and come at a much lower price point than SoulCycle's official clothing line. At Target, a tank top is $29, sweatpants are $49 and sweatshirts are $49. The pieces all bear both the SoulCycle and Target logos.

Target has had a history of partnering with higher-end clothing brands: Missoni, Jason Wu, Lily Pulitzer and Lauren Bush, among others. Since the trend of athleisure still seems to be going strong, it makes sense for Target to team up with SoulCycle next. Target's EVP/Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Jones explained another motive in an article for Racked. "Helping our guests succeed in their wellness journey is an important priority for Target. When we thought about the most premier fitness brands, SoulCycle was at the top of our list," he explained. We're proud of Target for incorporating more fitness apparel in its collection and excited to see SoulCycle venture into new cities. 

His friends say that he's into you, but why is he so bad at replying to your texts? Sometimes it takes him forever, and other times he gives you the most boring reply known to man. Don’t ditch your campus cutie just because he isn’t Shakespeare! Here’s how to deal when he doesn’t have a way with words.

Scenario #1: He seems uninterested

Flirt it up

If your guy doesn’t seem into it when you’re texting, try flirting with him. Playing a game of “20 questions” or “truth or dare” or sending a flirty message will get him interested. Flirting with your guy over text will get him answering, and you’ll both have a lot of fun. If you don’t know how to start, try saying something like, “You looked really cute last night.” Not only will he answer you, but he’ll also want to keep texting you to hear more.

“What you’re doing is you are instigating, inspiring and triggering positive, sexy or sexual emotions within him,” human behavior and relationship expert Patrick Wanis says, “which will make him want to communicate more by a text message.”

Flirting with your guy will make him more interested and might even cause him to reply to you faster. Even a simple, “I can’t wait to see you on Friday” will make him wonder what you’re going to say next. If he’s intrigued by what’s going on, he’ll want to keep the conversation going in order to keep the flirting up.

Tell him what you want

The next time you and your guy are hanging out, let him know that the way he texts bothers you. If you drop a hint (even in a joking way!), he should get the message. Try telling him, “It leaves me hanging when you don’t answer for a while,” or “It seems like you’re not interested when we’re texting.” Odds are that’s just how he texts, so he probably doesn’t even realize it. If he knows it bothers you, it will be fresh in his mind the next time you ask him, “What’s up?”

“I've said things like, ‘I totally get that you're busy, so when you can't text, just let me know and we can talk another time!’” explains Kasia Jaworski, a senior at Villanova University, “or even a text like, ‘Text me when you get a chance!’ It gets the message across that you want them to be better at texting, but you're not nagging them.”

“Be direct with guys,” Wanis says. “If you want to have a strong, healthy, open, honest, real, authentic relationship, always speak your truth.” Try saying something like, “I love it when you text me before you go to sleep,” or “I love it when you send me sexy messages.”

Praise his “good texts”

If your guy makes an effort to be better at texting or sends you a cute message, let him know you noticed. Try saying something like, “Thanks for responding quickly!” or “That text really made me smile.” If he knows it made you happy, he’ll be more likely to keep acting in that way.

“Reward him for doing something right through praise,” Wanis explains. “Reinforce the behavior by rewarding the behavior.”

Scenario #2: He takes hours to respond

Let him text you first

If your guy doesn’t usually answer for a while or seems distracted while you’re texting, you may be trying to talk to him at the wrong times. If he’s busy, you won’t be getting his full attention, which may make it seem like he isn’t into you.

Wanis mentions that not texting him will make him want to text you more. “Let him chase you. I do believe men are hunters and men like the chase. Men value things, whatever those things are, for which they have to work hard,” he says.

“You don't want your guy to think that you are sitting there staring at the screen and waiting for his text,” says psychiatrist and author Carole Lieberman, M.D., who goes by Dr. Carole. “So it is better to let him text you first. Try to limit your texts to when you really have something to say, like confirming the time for when you're supposed to get together next or wishing him luck on his exam. But, too many, ‘Hey, how u doing?’ texts are just pathetic.”

Kasia mentions that letting a guy text you first will leave you with better responses. “When they're ready/not busy they'll text you, and you'll have their attention versus waiting hours for a response,” she says.

Give him a call

Gasp… An actual phone call?! Don’t worry – he can’t bite you through the phone. But in all seriousness, some guys just don’t look at their phones or aren’t interested in texting to keep up a conversation. Rather than sending him a, “Hey, what’s up?” text and waiting eagerly for a reply (which will likely come hours later and read, “Hey” – scintillating, right?), give him a call to see what he’s doing tonight. By actually having you on the phone, he’ll be more engaged in the conversation, and you can easily make plans to meet up.

“A phone call is much better than a text,” explains Dr. Carole. “You want to hear the expression in his voice that's missing from a text. And texts are too often misunderstood because everyone tries to use the least amount of words and there's no tone, so you don't know if he's being serious or sarcastic or what.”

Wanis agrees that if you’re trying to resolve a conflict, texting will not suffice. “It’s very easy to misconstrue the intention and the emotion behind a text message,” he says.

If you try one (or more) of these tips, the conversation should flow more easily and you won’t be stuck waiting for that text! Just remember that not all guys are into texting, and some may never want to have conversations for hours on end. Put your phone down, relax and remember that his texting habits don’t determine whether or not he’s into you – trust us!

Rain Dove has already paved a path for herself in the fashion world as one of the rising androgynous models who is walking in both women's and men's fashion shows. Her modeling career kicked off after she lost a bet over a football game and had to show up to a Calvin Klein casting call. After initially being mistaken for a man, she was unexpectedly invited to walk the runway for Calvin Klein. But as a genderqueer model, Dove has come across a lot of rejections as well for having a masculine appearance. She continues to speak up for trans and gender fluid people everywhere, voicing her discontent against the gender binary system through her own campaigns.

For example, last year Dove posed in Victoria's Secret lingerie and photoshopped Victoria's Secret Angels' faces over her body to prove that you can construct your own beauty standards.

That's why it's no surprise that Rain Dove is taking a stand against binding her chest for London Fashion Week, where she will be walking in men's shows. She took to Instagram to explain her decision, posting two photos: one in which she has chest binders but is assuming a more feminine stance, and one where she doesn't have her chest bound but has a more traditionally masculine pose. Her caption reads, "I REFUSE to bind my chest just to look more 'manly'. My tits don't define my sex and they got swagger."

Dove also cautions that chest binding, if done incorrectly, can be extremely dangerous. In an article for Bustle, Dove warns, "Inappropriate binding can lead to crushed organs, ribs, arrythmia, and more. It's important to me that if people feel that the only way they will be safely respected as male or passably flat chested without surgery that they do this practice carefully!"

Most importantly, Dove is saying that breasts don't have to mean you're female, or that you have to be feminine. Our identities aren't strictly limited to our physical appearances, and while Dove's post may be controversial, we're glad that someone is breaking the boundaries that society has set.

Through her ultra popular beauty photos on social media, Kylie Jenner has emerged as one of the leading makeup mavens to our generation and with the recent release of her sold out #LipKitByKylie, she is showing no signs of slowing down. The first set of Lip Kits include the Kylie-approved colors Candy K, True Brown K, and Dolce K—and it's soon to be followed by more colors that Kylie herself is still testing.

But, here are a few colors we are suggesting Kylie take into consideration for her next kits:

1. Cherry Red

2. Pretty Mauve

3. Bold Black

4. Light Pink

5. Deep Berry

Let's just hope we can get our hands one a Lip Kit before they sell out... again!

If you think about it, best friends are the therapists we never had.  Not only can you disclose just about any information to them with no fear of exposure, but it's also free of charge.  Plus, who could be better at understanding you than the one person who knows everything about you?  Here are 15 reasons why your best friend basically classifies as your own personal therapist. 

1. She doesn't always tell you what you want to hear, but instead, what you need to hear

2. She's the only person that can calm you down (after freaking out with you of course)

3. She makes your problems her problems

4.  She hears you out on all of your problems (or at least pretends to as you ramble on and on)

5. She always has food to offer you, and what better therapy is there than food?

6. She keeps your best interest in mind

7. She always has the right solutions to your problems

8. And she always has the best advice too

9. She doesn't allow you to be alone when you're feeling down

10. She's brutally honest with you

11. She makes you her top priority when needed

12. You can rely on her in times of need

13. You feel comfortable opening up to her about anything 

14. You don't have to worry about getting judged by her

15. You trust that she will keep things confidential 

Channing Tatum is usually on-point when it comes to appearance—let's face it, he was one of the only good parts of the completely plotless Magic Mike series, and last year he landed a spot on the best dressed list for the Globes. Unfortunately, we pretty much hate what he did with his hair for the Golden Globe Awards tonight.

We're hoping this is just a temporary, one-night kind of hairstyle, because Channing is usually on every level of hot, between his killer dance moves and that body.

Normally when Channing dons an interesting hairstyle, it's for an intense lip sync battle featuring Beyoncé that we can't stop talking about. As expected, he's wearing it like this because of his role in the movie Gambit, but there are still enough memes across the internet about Fall Out Boy, Charlie's Angels' Thin Man, and emo bangs to keep people speculating for hours to come.

It's okay, Channing, we still think you're 100% fine. You can lip sync Fall Out Boy to us any time you want! 

This evening marks the fourth time British comedian Ricky Gervais was invited to host the Golden Globes. He has been criticised in the past for, let's say, for his colorful commentary. Tonight, Ricky attempted to be on best behavior, but he couldn’t really help himself.

Here are our favorite of Ricky's most offensive lines:

1. "Relax. I’m gonna try to be nice. You’re global megastars with amazing talent, most of you. A few of you just married well. You know who you are, we all do."

2. "As I say, I’m gonna be nice tonight. I’ve changed. Not as much as Bruce Jenner, obviously, now Caitlyn Jenner, of course. What a year she’s had. She became a role model for trans people everywhere, showing great bravery in breaking down barriers and destroying stereotypes. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers, but you can’t have everything, can you? Not at the same time."

3. "The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press just told me that if I say anything offensive, or crass, or resort to innuendo he’s gonna come out here and personally pull me off. So, that’s an offer I couldn’t refuse. Yes, yes, that is the level—an old man pulling me off. Again, at least Jeffrey Tambor did it in a dress."

4. "Jennifer Lawrence made the news when she demanded equal pay for women in Hollywood and she received overwhelming support from people everywhere. There were marches on the street with nurses and factory workers saying, ‘How the hell could a25-year-old live on 52 million?’... But joking aside, of course women should be paid the same as men for doing the same job. And I’d like to say now that I am getting paid exactly the same as Tina and Amy did last year. I know there were two of them, but it’s not my fault ife they want to share the money, is it? That’s their stupid fault. It’s funny because it’s true."

5. "All female remakes are the big thing. There’s a female remake of Ghostbusters, there’s going to be a female remake of Ocean’s Eleven. And this is brilliant for the studios, because they get guaranteed box office results and they don’t have to spend too much money on the cast."

6. "The Hollywood Foreign Press deemed The Martian a comedy and even nominated it and hence Matt Damon is here tonight, so that worked out a treat, didn’t it? To be fair, The Martian was a lot funnier than Pixels. But then again, so was Schindler’s List. It’s just a film."

In the golden age of the internet, celebrity crushing has reached a new level, and the celebs we are hot for are obviously not allowed to be with anyone but us. At least, that's what Twitter would have you think, after the Internet's favorite Star Wars boyfriend, Oscar Isaac, was caught kissing his fiancée at the Golden Globes.

Oscar Isaac also won for Best Actor in a Limited Series for his role in Show Me a Hero. This has been an incredible year for him! We also thought his acceptance speech was extremely touching.

How could you not adore him? We get it, Twitter, why you were so up in arms that he's taken. People also freaked out that he was in a photo with Leo DiCaprio.

The Internet's obsession with Isaac is almost as serious as the ship wars over Rey/Finn and Finn/Poe. Almost.

Don’t you miss those grade school days, when every person in your class had to put a hand-addressed Valentine in your red-paper-pasted box? Now, only the smug coupled-up people among us are guaranteed some attention on Valentine’s Day, and even they complain it’s not enough ("He didn’t get me the right kind of flowers!"). So why bother with it? Well, because it’s kind of fun to get all dolled up and go somewhere romantic, imagining for weeks beforehand how it will be the best night of your life. What do you do if you haven’t got a date to look forward to yet? Make one. Here are 10 foolproof tips to make sure you’ve snagged a body to sit across from at the fancy restaurant of your choice.

1. Mix some red into your daily ensembles

This study (you really needn’t bother with reading the full thing) shows that when collegiettes wear red, college cuties pay more attention to us. Okay, maybe they didn’t use those exact terms, but that’s the gist of it. Wearing the color may entice boys to “sit closer” to us and ask us “more intimate questions.” One “intimate question” being, “Will you allow me to pick you up in my horse-drawn carriage on February the 14th?”

2. Gab like a guy

You may be thinking about the perfect candy-red shade of lipstick to wear on the big night, but no dude is. Engage your crush by bringing up any topic free of conversation hearts: how March Madness is impending or how your favorite sitcom is (finally) back from hiatus. He’ll notice you’re a cool chick, not one of these crazed, date-hungry psychos that seem to be walking around campus (not us, not us).

3. Increase the intimacy

If you have your sights set on a certain valentine, show him you’re open to more than just a weekend hookup or casual conversation in class. Former Real Live College Guy Joey admits, “I immediately have my interest piqued if a girl begins to touch me at all, even something like picking a crumb off my sweater or touching my arm when [I’m] talking. Become more open and available.” Joey also recommends asking your dude if he has plans for Valentine’s Day weekend WITHOUT mentioning Valentine’s Day. This shows you’re open to hanging out but takes away some of the pressure.

4. Be alluring

If you’re dead set on snagging a man, you’ll want to up the ante when it comes to dressing for class and extra-curricular activities, like frat parties and basketball games. Boy Expert Cher, of the timeless classic Clueless, once said, “Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex.” This may not be your exact end goal, but ditching a few of the bulky winter layers we’ve all been buried in lately couldn’t hurt.

5. Get a group together

The solo-date can be terrifying if you’re on it with someone you don’t know that well (seriously, any restaurant you go to will be full of people who ARE in love). If you’re not ready for it, Anna, from The College of William & Mary, recommends grabbing a group of girls and guys and heading to the latest horror flick. “It’s a good excuse to cozy up to your crush during the scary parts,” she says.

6. Get set up

It’s a huge risk, but ever-hopeful collegiette Sarah, from Colby College, says that it’s worth the reward. “Getting set up is romantic because it can be great or the most awkward experience ever. Valentine’s Day is miserable if you’re single, so take the chance!” Go ahead and ask your friends or sorority sisters if they know any eligible bachelors who would like to meet up on a day that just so happens to be the 14th. It could be a story for the grandchildren! And if you don’t have anyone to set you up? Check out HowAboutWe.com, which allows you to pick a fun guy AND a fun date idea . . . what could be better?

7. Take advantage of the weekend before

Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, so use the weekend before to get out and mingle! Dating expert and publisher of OnlineDatingMagazine.com, Joe Tracy, advises to simply “be out there.” He says that the best way to get asked out is to “be self-confident and always look your best. Smile at people and say ‘hello’ when you pass them on campus or off.” Hit up the spots where you know your crush will be hanging out, or better yet, make plans to meet up with him. If you take the initiative first, he may surprise you by asking you out for Saturday.

8. Go for a guy friend

Maybe you don’t see your BGF as a romantic option, but he could be a ton of fun. Collegiette Remy, from William & Mary, recalls, “Last year, my guy friend and I went to one of the only romantic restaurants near campus and just mocked, quietly of course, other couples. I’ve never had a better Valentine’s Day.”

9. Guilt him into it

When I asked my current boyfriend how I managed to get him to ask me out last V-Day (we weren’t officially dating then), he told me he felt like he basically had to because of all the hints I dropped. Really romantic, right?? We’re still dating, so I guess the “guilt trip” can work, although it doesn’t make for a great story.

10. Just ask him out!

If you want the date, Former RLCG Joey says, “Don't be afraid to ask him out. Guys admire initiative, especially if they're shy. This isn't the 16th Century . . . girls don't have to be courted.” If all else fails, make the romance happen yourself.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go pick out your outfit, get a heart-design manicure and slap a picture of Cupid up on your dorm room door. You can officially get in the spirit, because you’ll have a date for the big day. And if you don’t? Joe Tracy advises spending the day racking up “good karma” by helping those less fortunate. Sounds like a plan to me!

Name: Sierra Barter
Age: 29
Job Title and Description: CEO & Co-Founder of The Lady Project and Social Media Coordinator at Johnson & Wales University
College Name/Major: Johnson & Wales University/Marketing Communications. Currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in Non-Profit Management at JWU (I’m a Wildcat for life).

Twitter Handle: @sierrabarter

What does your current job entail? Is there such a thing as a typical day? 

Sierra Barter: Since I work full-time and run Lady Project, it’s really important to maximize time and be as efficient as possible. I wake up each morning around 7 a.m. and hit the snooze button (in my dreams, I am a morning person who goes to Spin at 6 a.m. and is a good person at 7 a.m., but that’s not actually the case). I get ready for the day, hang with my dogs, drink a cup of coffee and grab breakfast to take on the road (usually yogurt and a piece of fruit). I usually have an 8 a.m. meeting downtown for Lady Project business before heading to work at JWU at 9 a.m.

I leave my “day job” around 5 p.m. and usually head to drinks with friends, a board meeting or another Lady Project-related meeting. My favorite days are when I don’t have anything after work and can head home and be with my dogs, a glass of wine and Netflix.

What is the best part of your job?

SB: Easily, meeting all of our amazing members. We have over 1,000 Lady Project members across the country—we are currently in 10 cities (Providence, New Haven, Boston, Nashua, NYC, Washington D.C., Seattle, San Diego, Philadelphia and Boulder) and are expanding to five more cities this spring (Dallas, Tampa, LA, Raleigh and Portland, Maine).

All of our members are awesome and are doing such cool things, while defining their own success. There’s nothing more inspiring or empowering than meeting and connecting with a bold, driven woman who’s making her dreams come true.

You are constantly doing a million things between your work at Johnson & Wales, The Lady Project and your plethora of other side hustles. What time management tips do you have for young women hoping to do the same?

​SB: Thanks! I try to be very productive. If a meeting is an hour, it’s an hour, not two. I also put everything from meetings to drinks with friends to a call on my Google Calendar; it’s literally my life. It’s really important for me to write everything down to stay organized. I also utilize Google Tasks (and the Go Tasks App) to keep tasks in separate lists and add the due dates to my Google Calendar—it’s great for items that have a hard deadline.

Also, I write lists and I keep a notebook with me everywhere. I reference my “blue book” all the time to follow up on meetings or my to-do list. I also try to do a meeting follow up within 24 hours—otherwise, it will likely get pushed back and forgotten. I easily lose focus when I’m online and I have to remind myself to “finish what I start” and to just get it done.

One of my team members asked me the other day how I stay productive. I was surprised, because I don’t always feel productive, but I reminded her that it’s a life skill that needs to be honed and trained; it doesn’t happen overnight. I am definitely still learning. It’s incredibly important to find a system that works for you—some people write everything down in their Notes app on the phone, and some keep it all in their head—know what works for you and stick with it.

Your work with The Lady Project also proves that you’re a star networker! Networking can be really intimidating for young women just starting their careers—what are your best practices for building strong professional relationships?

​SB: Thanks so much! Networking is hard and sometimes awkward. I believe networking and connections should be 100 percent authentic; don’t be that guy with their business card in everyone’s faces. I like to ask questions like “What are you passionate about?” instead of “What do you do?” Networking also doesn’t have to be in the typical setting of “after work drinks and business cards.” Networking can happen anywhere—the gym, the park, on a date—you never know who you’ll meet.

And the more you network, the better you get. You will get as much as you put into events—so show up, get out there and talk to people. It may be helpful to even make a rule with yourself or another friend like, “Once I talk to five people, I can leave” or “After I get 10 cards, I can go swing by the taco bar.”

For young professionals, it’s especially important to follow up. If you meet someone who you want to learn from or meet, follow up with them, don’t wait for their email. Email them the next day and if you don’t hear back within a week, send another note. And, after that meeting, keep that relationship going—follow them on social, reply to posts on Twitter and suggest grabbing coffee every few months if you feel the connection is solid.

It’s always impressive whenever I receive a handwritten thank you note from a student or young professional; it’s unexpected and really sets them apart. Just a quick note can make a big impression, whatever it’s an interview or professional connection.

Who is one person who changed your professional life for the better?

​SB: Julie Sygiel (Lady Project co-founder and COO & founder of Dear Kate). Julie and I met in late 2011 when I had my first company, Clementine Lime (an event/organizing business) and when Dear Kate was named Sexy Period. She had asked me to write a post on organizing your lingerie for the Sexy Period blog. When we met a few weeks later, she said to me, “You’re my people!” From there, we became fast, close friends and launched Lady Project in 2012.

Business partnerships are a lot like romantic relationships; you’ll fight, you’ll spend all your time together and you’ll love them no matter what. Julie and I are very lucky to have a great business relationship but more importantly, a great friendship. Julie is one of the most driven and honest people I have ever met. I am so lucky to call her one of my best friends and have her in my corner. She’s the best.

What words of wisdom do you find most valuable?

​SB:“Work hard and be nice to people.” I think this sums it up—you need to work hard and give everything you have to your business, your career, your passion, but don’t let that stand in the way of being nice to people. I am originally from Wisconsin, and folks from the Midwest have a reputation of being nice people. I like being a nice person—and it goes a long way. People want to help you if they like you—and likeability and kindness go hand in hand (and it’s a good thing to be kind). There’s nothing worse than undeserved entitlement—be kind to everyone around you.

I also love the quote “If you need something done, ask a busy woman” because it’s 100 percent true!

What is one mistake you made along the way and what did you learn from it?

​SB: I have made so many mistakes…but if there’s anything I’ve learned, [it's] that no one starting a business or organization knows what they’re doing. Entrepreneurship is full of failures and learning and getting through it day by day.

A mistake we made with Lady Project was not positing ourselves as a non-profit from the get go; we went back and forth a lot on whether or not to be for-profit or apply for 501c3 status. We chose the latter and didn’t start asking for support for almost a year after we got our tax-exempt status. As a non-profit, you have to ask your supporters for support early and often—while we did have a great response once we did, I do wish we asked sooner.

What has been the most surreal moment of your career thus far?

​SB: The Glamour Hometown Heroes Award was pretty amazing—I was honored and totally floored. I love Rhode Island and was so excited to represent the Ocean State!

Each time we launch a new chapter it is beyond amazing—I have women come up to me at each launch who tell me they heard about Lady Project through a friend in another chapter or have been following us on social and have been waiting for us to launch in their city. It’s pretty amazing.

What advice would you give to a 20-something with similar aspirations?

​SB: Start before you’re ready—there is never going to be a “good time” to start a business, travel Europe or do that one thing that you have always been meaning to do. When you’re a 20-something, you generally have the least amount of responsibility than you’ll ever have again. Move to Hawaii. Take the job at the startup you have been dreaming about. Launch that business. Listen to your gut and just try—you won’t regret it.

And, don’t be afraid to work hard. Work really, really hard. Forgo nights with friends or Netflix and chill—you need to work all the time. Every leader I know is incredibly driven, super passionate and works a million hours a week. If you want something, you not only have to believe in your mission 100 percent, but you will also have to work incredibly hard.

We hate to admit it, but last night’s Golden Globes felt like kind of a boy’s club. Without powerhouse hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in our corner, we were expecting a lot less female influence. But add to that Leonardo DiCaprio’s bizarre, headline-grabbing behavior and Ryan Gosling’s mere appearance, and you’ve got at least two reasons why the men were the center of attention. Never fear, though—these 8 moments packed some major girl power.

1. Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer redefine SQUAD GOALS

We’ve watched this friendship blossom from the sidelines for far too long, making it oh so sweet when Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer took the stage together to present their nominated films. J. Law and A. Schu hosting the 2017 Globes only seems natural, right? Or should we send them straight on to the White House in 2020?

2. Eva Longoria and America Ferrera tell us who they’re not

Sure, Eva Longoria and America Ferrera were paired as presenters in an effort to promote their new NBC sitcoms. But these funny ladies seized the opportunity to comment on all the fab Latina superstars they’ve been mistaken for. To put things in perspective, this moment was EVERYTHING. #representationmatters

3. Brie Larson proves to be the classiest

When Brie Larson won for her performance in Room, she not only accepted her award with the utmost grace and sweetness but offered to send a thank you note to anyone she forgot to mention in her speech.

4. Denzel Washington’s wife shines during his acceptance speech

Denzel may have been awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his lifetime achievement in film, but his wife stole the show during his all-too-brief acceptance speech. Wasn’t it adorbs when she asked if he needed his glasses? The answer is, of course, yes!

5. Rachel Bloom reminds us to never give up

We were all pulling for the flawless Jamie Lee Curtis to win in this category for her superb work on cult fave Scream Queens. But we couldn’t have been happier when Crazy Ex-Girlfriend leading lady, Rachel Bloom, spoke of the struggles she’d gone through to get her show made, reminding us all to stick with our dreams until they’re a reality.

6. Kate Winslet gives a shout out to women in film

How great is it when an actress acknowledges her fellow women for their amazing accomplishments? That’s exactly what Kate Winslet did in a beyond sincere moment that set the tone for the remainder of the evening.

7. Taraji P. Henson shuts down that teleprompter jerk

Okay, so we totally get why there’s a time limit for speeches, but nobody hushes Cookie. After all, she waited 20 years for the recognition she’s now receiving for her work; we think it’s only fair she get more than a minute to take it all in.

8. Amy and Jennifer hug it out because women support women

Being nominated in the same category as our besties at a major award show is something we’ve never experienced. But Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence showed us how it’s done when J. Law took home the statue for Joy. Nothing is better than women supporting women, are we right?

What was your favorite girl power moment of the night, collegiettes? Any we missed?

As the excitement and nostalgia phase passes after graduation, you may notice some changes. Maybe they didn’t happen overnight, but at some point it hits you—wow. This is that “real world” they always told us about. We saw it in movies growing up and heard about it from our parents and older friends, but now we’re actually living it. Whether you’ve already gone through this type of metamorphosis, or are slowly coming to terms with your new life, one thing is clear: things have definitely changed after graduation. Here are some old habits you might need to retire as you become a real adult.

1. Shopping till you drop

Did someone say SHOPPING SPREE?! No actually, no one did, because in the real world you come to realize the importance of spending responsibly and budgeting. Sure, it’s nice to splurge every once and while, but it’s hard to treat yourself when you know you have rent, loans and car payments around the corner. Oh #thestruggleisreal.'

2. That daily coffee fix that costs a latte money…

During college, an iced caramel macchiato was basically the wind beneath your wings, but the oh-so-sad-but-true reality is… it’s a luxury. The thing about swiping your dining card every morning was that it erased the mental sense of spending actual money. One swipe here, one swipe there didn’t seem so bad, but as you swipe your ACTUAL card with ACTUAL money every morning before work, you realize that the daily cup of joe costs a lot of dough.

3. Say 'RIP' to yoga pants...

...during the week, at least. Not all your college staples are going to work out in the real world. As the saying goes, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” Those yoga pants aren't going to get you the corner office anytime soon, so take some time to go through your closet and retire the outfits that don't have a place in your life soon. Don't toss it all out though... because on the weekends, it's all fair game.

4. Your inner Tinderella

Dating was (relatively) easy in college. You were surrounded by tons of cute prospects, everyone was at the same place each night, and you had the common thread of university pride. After graduation however, it seems all this disappears. Everyone goes home, or moves to start their new jobs, and suddenly the whole dating game changes. Before you know it, you’re going to happy hour with co-workers and scouting for the next cutie. It may seem a little overwhelming at first, but with time you come to enjoy the thrill of meeting new people completely outside of your usual friend circle. Whatever you do, try and fight the urge to stay in and swipe away on apps every weekend. Although it may be a quick and easy way to meet people, nothing beats good ol’ face-to-face, lock-eyes-across-the-room interaction.

5. Fab > fast food

You were all about the 3 AM runs to Taco Bell in college. We've all been there and certainly won't judge if you revert back to your old ways on a late night or two post-graduation; but this probably shouldn't be a regular thing anymore. As busy girls with busy schedules, you come to find that what you put into your body directly affects how you feel, so if you want to feel good, you have to eat healthy. It might be a little difficult to change this part of your life entirely, but you’ll soon find that each small change makes a world of difference. Say goodbye to fast food and hello to healthy home-cooked meals!

6. Working (out) 

Having a gym on campus made cramming in a workout much easier. But in the real world, unless you take the time to prioritize and schedule your workouts, let’s face it—it’s just not going to happen. If you're just starting out, make small changes first, even if it's as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator each morning. But don't stop there; make it a point to schedule in time to exercise, whether it's going to the gym or signing up for a weekly spin class.

7. Stressing about this whole “growing up” thing

One minute you’re tossing your hats in the air, and the next it’s proposals, babies, bachelorette parties, new house, new cars and more babies. Every time you check your feed, someone else is “adulting” way harder than the next. Meanwhile… you’re over here just trying to get your own life together—and that's okay!
