College 101: Two WRONG Ways To Party
I was the stereotypical party girl during my freshman year of college. Nearly every weekend, you could find me at a house party or a bar, dancing and drinking the night away. It’s a phase that that many people go through; and one that inevitably brings with it mistakes and regrets, which most likely turn into a long...
Making Your Skin Friends With Finals Season
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, health care professional, or dermatologist. However, I have been fighting crime and breakouts since puberty! It’s that time of year again – Finals. Other than an insane amount of studying (I have to make a WHAT on my final to get an A!?!?), the one thing I know I can...
Mixtape Monday: Because Finals Suck
Do what you’ve been doing all semester long: procrastinate and listen to a kick-ass playlist. The summer is almost here, so why not do some pre-indulging? I swear, this is not an advertisement for Sprite or maybe it is… [8tracks url= “http://8tracks.com/anonmagazine/re-mix” height=”500″ width=”500″ playops=”shuffle”]

Staff Confessions: My First Kiss Went A Little Like This
By now, most everyone has experienced their first kiss – whether it be in with a nap time partner in kindergarten, or during those awkward middle school years. With that being said, we asked some of the staff members to tell the story of their first lip-locking experience. Megan: “Oh goodness, embarrassing story time! It...
Not So Indie Radar: Jeff Rosenstock
Raise your hand if you are familiar with Jeff Rosenstock. Wait, no… put your hands down, because I can’t see you, like, at all. Shit, this is awkward. Look, the point I’m trying to illustrate is that if I COULD see you, then it’s likely that many of you haven’t raised your hands, which is...
The Terror: A New Chapter For The Flaming Lips
Last month I got to see The Flaming Lips during SXSW in Austin. Being a Lips live show veteran, I ventured to Auditorium Shores expecting balloons, confetti, big-ass hands, lasers, or maybe Wayne riding the big hamster ball on top of the crowd, but instead I received “The Terror”. After being told that we were...
Style Crush: Rita Ora
Debuting only a year ago, Rita Ora has quickly become one foxy fashionista we can’t stop obsessing over. Her style demonstrates the latest trend with the Brits: punk-elegance. The punk style has now become couture, and Rita sure knows how to show it. Always seen with bright red lipstick, beanies, and sass – this lady...

SPOTTED: European Street Style
At the time that I left College Station for a semester to go abroad to Dresden, Germany, I looked like any other Aggie girl. My hair was tied up in a messy bun, and I adorned a cozy, comfort color long sleeve, coupled with my Victoria’s Secret sweatpants. Draped over that was my...
DIY Beauty Queen: Floral Headbands
I know you have all been seeing them everywhere and I know you all are just itching to embrace your contemporary flower child and I know the corporate version sold at places like Urban Outfitters are not cutting it for you. So in the name of warm summer days and music festivals, I am about...
Indie Radar: Sunrise and Ammunition
Meet Sunrise and Ammunition, the result of a drunken, misguided, yet glorious orgy between the members of Pink Floyd and Muse. These (only) three kids, none of whom are over the age of 19, are prodigies of progressive indie rock. Hailing from the Houston local scene, they produce a style of psychedelic mind-fuck that...
Female Vocalist: Teri Gender Bender
There are too many lovely female vocalists to count on both hands and feet in the music scene at the moment. A few to name are Megan James of Purity Ring, Florence Welsh, Lana Del Rey, Claire Boucher of Grimes, and my favorite at the moment, Teri Gender Bender of Le Butchrerettes and, most recently,...

SPOTTED: On Campus Style
So, it’s probably well known by now that this magazine is run by students at Texas A&M, and, well, A&M isn’t well known for fashion. In fact, we aren’t known for fashion AT ALL. The only trends you see on this campus are XXXXXL t-shirts, Nike shorts, Ugg boots, and tights on the ladies, and...
Pretty In Pink: Duckie
There’s no doubt that most guys these days haven’t seen Pretty In Pink – it’s a given. But let me tell you, before you begin to call it a ‘stupid chick-flick,’ take a moment to watch it and admire the attire. The movie is set in the 1980’s starting Molly Ringwald (Andie) and Jon Cryer...
The Art Of The “Frenchie”
For many years now, I’ve had friends say “Gosh, that guy was such a great kisser. He really knew how to French.” And here I am, 20 years old, and I’ve never been a successful french kisser. Ever. I think I’ve only tried it a handful of times, and needless to say, it’s not...
SXSW 2013 Recap: Better Late Than Never
SXSW is a right of passage for any music enthusiast or avid watcher of people and subcultures. You have bands representing most continents, people from all cities and walks of life, food trucks catering to your every, imaginable hunger. Sounds wonderful, right? The problem is, if you do it the “right” way, it’s going to...
Indie Radar – CHVRCHES
So, if you’re a music blog reader, you have most likely read something about CHVRCHES in the past year. The music world has seemingly fallen in love with the trio from Glasgow, and it is no wonder why we have. As if appearing out of nowhere, CHVRCHES has been on a daunting musical conquest of...

Girl Crush Alert: Lana Del Rey
Girl crush alert: Lana Del Rey. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this woman. Now, say what you want about her music (I personally love it), but some don’t. So, in that regard, say what you will. However, none of you, and I mean NONE of you, can argue with how...
Two Opinions On Gay Marriage
Opinion #1 comes from a student at Texas A&M University. He is reporting on the campus response to all of the recent GLBT news. Tensions have been running high on the campus of Texas A&M University this week, with the introduction of Student Senate Bill 65-70, referred to as The GLBT Funding Opt-Out Bill. This...
Street Style: Summer Music Festivals
It’s finally spring, which can only mean one thing: music festival season. It’s personally my favorite time of the year; with the combination of fantastic music and street style fashion, nothing gets better than that. South by Southwest (SXSW) just wrapped up in Austin, and flipping through sites displaying top street style photos makes me...
