In The 'Cac

  Hannukah, was swell! [insert socks joke here]. Christmas, great! [insert problematic family comment here]. And don’t get me started on Kwanzaa! [I actually celebrate it, but like no commentary needed]. But here lies the issue, the holidays are over. No more awkward family food fests, or cheesecake, or excitement from your parents. Yes, seeing all your best friends from home was great but you can hold your friends hair back at school [Here’s to you New Years’s]. You need a boost to get you through! [Download after the jump]

And all shall fade The flowers of spring

Summertime has finally gotten into its groove. The days are long, the nights are stormy, and all shall know the wonder of Purple Summer. By this point in the summer, one of two things has happened: 1) your internship fling is finding its footing and you in the throws of midsummer nights romp. 2) the loose ends from your spring awakening are crumbling around you and you have the whole summer to reflect….
