@clareaker What's the best thing about going home for break? My favorite thing about going home is seeing my family and my puppy. If you could be one dessert, what would you be? I'd be funfetti cake because it's got spunk. What’s your biggest turn off? When I go out on a date and the guy doesn't tip the server well. @jozj0z What's the best thing about going home for break? The best thing about going home is spending time with my family and being able to eat holiday meals. If you could be one dessert, what would you be? I'd be black licorice because nobody likes it. What’s your biggest turn off? Guys who cry.
Why The Bartender Hates You It's not your imagination Bar etiquette should be common sense, but our town's bar scene is full of moronic children, so we thought it'd benefit everyone to offer those idiots some clear don'ts...
You Announce You’re Wasted If you’re one of those d-bags that has to inform all your friends that you're hammered, go right ahead. But if you repeatedly announce to everyone around you, including the bartender, just how shittfaced you are, dont bother asking for another drink because you are 100% cut off.
You Grab Fruit Don’t stick your nasty hands in the fruit. We see what you've been doing on the dance floor, and nobody wants your grimey paws anywhere near things they might put in their mouths.
You Touch the Bartender Dont ever cross that invisible line—just don’t. It’s super awkward, totally creepy and we’ll ignore you for the rest of the night. A tip and a simple "thank you" is all we really need.
You Demand Water We totally get that you’ve been dancing your ass off, but relax—you still gotta wait your turn. Also, it's awesome that you're the DD—we’ll gladly give you some H2O—but if you’re just being an asshole, maybe it’s time to go home and call your friends a cab.
You Ask for a Free Drink Sometimes we reward loyal customers with a round, but we're not buying some random dude a shot because it’s his birthday. Nothing's actually free: when we buy you a drink, we’re buying you a drink—that comes out of our pay! @sar_kathleen
November Trend Watch While the web obsessed over Kim K's Break-the-Internet stunt, we were drawn to sister Kylie’s reveal of plumper, fuller lips. Whether you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny she's mastered the perfect pout. Hoping she'd achieved the look through simple products (rather than having her momager authorize underage cosmetic surgery), we dug through the latest blogs, YouTube tutorials and beauty editors’ research to find that Kylie may indeed have used a common beauty product to achieve the lip look of the year.
@wcscene
Liner or Lips?
The secret? Lip liner pencil, lots of it. While we all shudder in embarrassment for forgetting that we, too, can draw with a pencil, read the steps below to achieve those Kylie Lips. 1. Choose a lip liner shade that best matches your natural lip color to avoid the overdrawn evidence. 2. Line the lips starting from the outer corners going up towards the cupid's bow and go slightly above the lip line to create the effect of a fuller lip (aka over-draw). 3. Fill in the entire lip using the lip
liner pencil. No lipstick or gloss. 4. Optional last step: add a tiny bit of foundation or highlighter at the center of the bottom lip and just above the cupid’s bow. This creates an immediate fuller look. @courtconigs

Student Athlete: Marina Sharkey Where you from? Media. What brought you to WCU? I came to play D2 volleyball, plus it was close to home, and I like the town. What do you like about the town? Everything's walking distance— I don't have a car. Other schools I visited were just a campus. What have been some of your favorite moments playing for WCU? Well, we just made the semi-finals, so I'm looking forward to that because we made the playoffs my freshman year, and I was playing, and it was really exciting. How often do people comment on your height? I'm six foot, so all the time. They usually look down to see if I'm wearing heels. What do you love about volleyball? It's high-energy, fast-paced and you can play year-round.

Top Ten: Best (and worst) things about going home for break Good: Laundry Moms always seem to be throwing in a load of laundry, so your weeks’ worth of dirty clothes can be thrown in, too. Plus, moms never accidentally shrink anything. Bad: Running into high school classmates You’re just tryna spend money you don’t have in Target and BAM there’s that awkward girl who sang show tunes. Good: Home-cooked meals Frozen foods and greasy pizza are things of the past. Your body can remember what it’s like to have real nutrients again. And vegetables.
Bad: Texts from your ex. “We should totally hang out since we’re both home.” No, no we shouldn't. Good: Seeing your pets We can barely take care of ourselves at school, let alone another life, but cuddling with Fluffy relieves the stress of living at Mom's again. Bad: “Are you seeing anyone?” No, Grandmom, I’m still single; I'm too committed to my ongoing relationship with alcohol and poor decisions right now. Good: A clean house Sitting in a clean living room devoid of empty
beer cans is almost zen-like. Bad: Curfew “Be home by 12, so I can sleep knowing you're safe!” Ugh. When's school start again? Good: Not having class A full day free of obligations! Maybe you’ll go to the gym, maybe you’ll go get a manicure… most likely you’ll bingewatch Netflix. Bad: Parents asking questions “How are your grades?" Bad "Are you applying for internships?" No. Good&Bad: Seeing your siblings You love them, but they're really just the worst kind of human beings.
Grinds My Gears Things that have been pissing us off lately @anita_fixxx People who dont tip!@thenaughtyjesus Expiration REALLY #grindsmygears ! #iseeyou dates on condoms. It's like they’re mocking you about how depress#ifyouainttippinyouaintsippin ing your sex life is @courtconigs Aggressive sales @danielkmathers That my landlord @erinrebecca_ When people calls from those crazy energy expects me to take care of all these don't communicate their issues suppliers trying to get you to leaves. I don’t care if your lawn dies with each other and just talk shit change that one thing on your @moquinnnn That iPhone and An- instead PECO bill. Stop calling & showing droid emojis are different, as if we up without warning at my work. @seanreilly old drivers. I mean, it's needed to be more unclear about #GRINDSMYGEARS funny how you can't see them all what we're trying to say in texts hunched down in their seats, but I @sar_kathleen having too much pop a gasket riding behind those fun on #SundayFunday … makes @hoochiemannee When people slow mother******* leave time on the microwave for a horrible Monday @toridemarco Group projects.

Honeyjawn of the Month Meet Christine
What's the most exciting thing you've ever done? Probably going whitewater rafting on the Nenana River with my friends back in my home state. Where is your home state? It's a little out there, and a lot of people don't believe me when they ask, but I'm from Alaska. Alaska? Fairbanks, Alaska. It's in the interior of the state—almost directly in the middle. What's the weather like there this time of year? It's mostly somewhere between 20 and -20 degress, with a lot of snow.
@angellchristine
Damn. What do you do when it's -20? It's a different kind of cold there because it's a dry climate and there's no wind, but cold is cold, so usually bundle up and find something to do inside.
What brought you to WC? I have a grandmother in West Chester, and we'd visit every summer, and I fell in love with the town. Last question: your biggest turn off? When guys call me "Alaska."

What We're Drinking:
Winter cocktails at Ryan's Pub Ladies, there's a few basic truths you should know about bros: 1. We love sex (a nice blowie ain't bad either); 2. We're big fans of sandwiches (there's just something about slapping your meat inside some white bread); and 3. Sometimes all we really want is a fancy drink served in a martini glass with a tasty garnish. So, with those things on my mind (like they always are), I headed to Ryan's Pub to snag a drink or three from @s_grec.

Body by Boyder The average man's fitness specialist Bottom line: Good health makes you happier. Don't worry about freaks on instagram or infomercials— focus on what works for you. When I was in college I gained 30lbs in three years. I didn't notice it either. It crept in like that weird person in your DMs. Day-by-day, drink-by-drink. Taquito, after taquito, after taquito. The decease in activity—I was three years out of playing sports—and the increase in "being Turnt" were really starting to show. Sometimes it's a rude awakening from an honest and harsh friend that makes you aware you might need a lifestyle change. For me, an older, fit woman at my place of work casually said, "Tommy, your butt has gotten really, really big." Although it was embarrassing, the physical projection of my health was brought to my attention.
@wcscene
Who knows where I’d be if she didn’t include the second “really” in her observation. That day I decided I'd make a change in my daily habits, but I didn't do a huge overhaul of my life. I made two minor tweaks: I would run three times a week for thirty minutes, and I'd control my portions [instead of the whole Wawa Italian hoagie, I'd eat half and save the rest for dinner]. It was those small changes that gave me the confidence and momentum to add more goals and more health-conscious decisions in my daily diet. The idea is, don't be scared of what it takes to be the healthiest version of you. The same way it creeps in, you can creep out. Implement small plans of action but be 100% committed and execute them. You feeling the best you can is all that really matters. @boyderdaggie
follow @wcscene because you know you're gonna miss west chester when you're bored, sitting in your mom's living room, flipping through the channels, eating your dad's ice cream straight from the tub like some lonely fat kid.
yeah, winter break is long—we'll help you get through it #wcscene

Man Candy: Ryan Schaefer What’s one talent you'd like to have? I'd love to be a good singer. Keep a gift, Give a gift, Burn a gift: Playstation 4, Michael Kors Watch, iPhone 6. Keep the iPhone, Give the Michael Kors watch to some white girl, burn the Playstation 4 because f*** that. Do you have any nicknames? Thebeardedlad, I’ve facial hair since I came out of the womb, oh and follow me on Instagram. What’s your dream date? Just something simple, nice dinner in town, good food, good wine, nothing too crazy. What’s the worst decision you’ve ever made? Thinking that my credit card is endless when I go out, like who do I think I am? What are you looking for in a relationship? He's gotta have a good sense of humor, and be tall, dark, and handsome. But sorry, I’m already taken.

Makeshift Chef Fancy-ass Dorm Room Breakfast Recipes You're hungry, you're broke and your only mode of cooking is your roommate's dirty microwave. Sometimes living in the dorms isn't too glamorous. We know. We've been there. So, we decided we'd make life a little bit easier on you. Right here we've got some easy recipes you can make without having to leave the comfort of your dorm room and without breaking the bank. Save your bills for the Natty and Vlady, you filthy animal.
Peanut Brittle 1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts 1 cup white sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1 pinch salt (optional) 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda
Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole chicken breast halves, cut into bitesized pieces 2 cups cooked white rice 1 can (10.75oz) condensed cream of chicken soup 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese 3 slices soft white bread, cubed
Combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook in microwave for 7 minutes on High. Stir in butter and vanilla; cook 2 minutes longer. Quickly stir in baking soda, pour onto greased baking sheet. Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350. Place chicken in a microwave-safe dish, cover and cook in microwave for 6 minutes. Turn and cook another 3 minutes.In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine all ingredients. Bake for 20 minutes.
Why the DJ Hates You You've Been Warned You think the DJ booth is the bar. You might want to address some issues with how much you're drinking if you're coming up to me with money out, asking for drinks. Sure, I'll take that money, but you're not getting another "whatever's-onspecial."
You demand to hear your request. Listen, drunk white girls (yes, you're always the culprit here): just because you're leaving, doesn't mean I have to play your song. Why would I play your request if you're gonna pack up, stop spending money here and head to another bar?
You think the dance floor is a portrait studio for #Selfies. Basic bitches always do this, and it ruins the dance floor, especially when they check the picture for double chins and take three more to be safe.
You make up a birthday so you can hear your name on the mic. This is normally done by loser guys who live in their mom’s basement and watch Star Wars on the reg. Real cool guys. Unless you're gay—
@wcscene
which, hey, that's totally cool with us—you shouldn't be getting a kick out of hearing another grown man shout your name. You want to look at every song I have. Always a drunk girls request or some dick who thinks he knows what everyone wants to hear. I do not have time to explain how my library is organized, and yes I have over 100,000 songs so it may take a while to look through what “good stuff” I have. @djromeo24
