So interesting: ABC News discusses the class of 2014, and what the world looks like to them in comparison to upperclassmen. (Thanks, Jenny, for sending this in!!) A few facts about the class of 2014 that I found fascinating (and that, okay, made me feel OLD):

Vanity Fair just released their 2010 International Best-Dressed List. Did your favorite style icon make the cut?

Spend your psych classes dreaming of Louis Vuitton? At the International University of Monaco, you can now major in luxury. I’m not making this up.

The course, being launched in Monaco, which will be taught in English, could not be further from any Young Ones stereotype of students living on a diet of baked beans and radical politics.

Instead the 35 international students will be following a syllabus looking at essentials such as shoes, jewellery, watches, cars and yachts.

While the internet is making academic research easier than ever, it’s also creating new plagiarism issues for college students across the country, reports the NY Times.

I <3 this DIY Petal Ruffle Sleeve Top from …love Maegan.

Why Won’t Chanel Talk About Their New Plus-Sizes? So strange.

Refinery 29 shows us the cutest way to rock your boyfriend’s button-down shirt.

I’ll admit it: I find the whole Rachel Zoe/Taylor Jacobson feud fascinating: Embezzlement, stolen designer samples, public PR battles – it’s like a fashion soap opera. Read Taylor’s side of the controversy here, then tell me what YOU think really happened. And are you Team Taylor or Team Rachel?

Taylor Jacobson is Zoe’s now former assistant, who was constantly feuding with Brad, Zoe’s other assistant. On the show, Tay is cast as the (constantly complaining) workhorse; Brad, the token bow tie-wearing gay and Rach’s obvious favorite. At the end of season two, Rach took Brad to Paris, leaving Tay behind to style celebrities in Los Angeles and curse the days Rach and Brad were born. Upon their return, she threatened to quit, and once the season wrapped, word got out that Tay had been terminated over lost or stolen clothes, as Page Six reported.

Although your internship may be physically over, you will still be relying on the relationships you formed for some time as you embark on your career.

Gawker discusses Lady Gaga’s career, and why it might be time for her to take a break. What do you think? Should she get out of the spotlight for a while?

Higher Education is Overrated, Skills Aren’t, from the Harvard Business Review, discusses the crucial difference between being “good at college” and actually having job-worthy skills, and why a college degree doesn’t necessarily equal success in the workplace. I agree with the whole article SO much.

Knowledge may be power, but “knowledge from college” is neither predictor nor guarantor of success. Growing numbers of informed observers increasingly describe a higher education “bubble” that makes a college and/or university education a subprime investment for too many attendees.

Pulse of the Nation is a fascinating look at “the moods of the nation,” based on our tweets! Apparently, Tweets are most positive on Sundays, and the most negative on Thursdays. Who knew?

These shoes made from furniture scraps are TOO cool. I want a pair!

Give Yourself a Break – and Become More Productive is solid advice (as always), from Dumb Little Man:

It sounds paradoxical, doesn’t it: by taking a break, you can get more useful work done. But it really works.

If you’ve ever worked on a big project, whether at work or in your personal life, you’ll know how easy it is to get bogged down in trivia – or to procrastinate. Rather than plowing on grimly, sometimes you just need to take a break.

Umm, this is just scary: Are receipts poisoning us with BPA? The moral of this story: stay on the safe side – the next time a cashier asks if you want a receipt, just say no…

Fashion industry internships: exploitation or experience? is an interesting piece from the Guardian detailing what we all already know: working in fashion is not as glamorous as it seems.

“The designer was constantly shouting at students as young as 19, saying, ‘You’re f*****g useless, you don’t know what you’re doing,’ whenever they didn’t do something properly,” says a former manager at a small but well-known fashion house which relies heavily on interns. “These girls would be working from 8am to 1am in the run-up to fashion week and some would start crying and getting hysterical because they were being expected to do a job perfectly which they’d never done before.”

But if you’re still determined to work in fashion, at least dress the part.
