As a junior in college who’s lived in small dorm rooms for the past three years, I’ve spent a lot of time hunched over my dorm desk. Whether I’m doing homework, getting ready, or eating a meal, it’s all going down there. This is a fact of life when you live in a small space where the only other seating option is a bed, but I found a way to make my would-be mundane reality a lot more enjoyable — and way cuter.

When Berkus pulls out the good plates, he reaches for his “all-time favorite” — an Italian plate motif that’s been in production for more than 250 years. It’s simple yet ornate and offers enough frill without being too fancy.

The weather around this time of year — the end of summer and beginning of fall — is perfect for hanging out outdoors. It’s not quite as hot as it was a few weeks ago, but it’s also far from cold, which means that you should cram in as much outdoor time as possible. Entertaining in your backyard, curling up with a book on your patio, working in your yard, firing up the grill — this is your chance to cram it all in before it gets too chilly.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

If you like piña coladas — cue the song — then I have a sneaking suspicion that you are also going to love this new viral drink. Sure, a frozen piña colada is great on a hot summer day, but what if you don’t have a blender? Better yet, what if you’re at the beach or a park with friends and you’re craving this drink but can’t exactly get your hands on one? Thankfully, with this viral recipe, all you need is a bottle of Corona.

Close friends know that I am a big-time chocolate-lover. If there’s no chocolate in the dessert you’re offering me, chances are high that I’ll politely decline. Even bigger than my enthusiasm for chocolate though, is my love for the specific combination of chocolate and peanut butter. This duo makes me weak in the knees and it truly came as a shock to me when I realized not everyone cares for it.
