Snuggies are USELESS!

I cannot believe Snuggies have made all the revenue that they had over the past few years. Yes, a joke gift can be fun once in a while, but I honestly hate useless gifts - what a waste of money! Gag gifts are certainly not funny, and make sure you never, ever buy them for a sort-of crush or flirty friend or anything! $15 NOT well spent. At left - the TATTOO snuggie. Gotta love prints. Nothing about this screams freedom of movement! I don't want to eat in this, I don't want to watch a movie in this, and I certainly don't want to wear it outside in public! Oversized pockets are useless, too! Thank god it's machine washable, at least.

Facebook to flirting - with a teacher

Beware of the sort of relationship you establish with your teachers. While some may be harmless and platonic, there's always a risk it might go further. With Facebook and texting, you're more connected to them personally than ever before. Don't turn friending into flirting (see title link).

Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere may just seem like your ordinary celebrity blonde. But inside, she's wise and has a good heart. When asked in a recent Seventeen magazine interview (see title link) about worrying about fitting in, she truthfully responds that she's becoming more and more comfortable with herself, and that she learns something about herself from each experience, positive or negative. Her other wise quip is about her friends; each one does not have to be your best friend, nor do they have to be perfect for everything. It's okay to have friends for different purposes. Instead of giving a diplomatic, plastic answer, she embodies the qualities of the true role model she is: candor and honesty.
