By Rebecca Rubin

As a high school student, it's hard to know what colleges are looking for in their applicants.

Huffington Post: Mark Regnerus Claims Gay Marriage Will Lead Straight Men To Stray, Demand Anal Sex From Women

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 08:31 AM PST

The professor behind a controversial and heavily criticized gay parenting study is back in the headlines, this time with some eyebrow-raising claims about same-sex marriage.

Huffington Post: Julep Ta Da! Quick Dry Drops Dries Nail Polish Super Fast

After deciding on a nail polish color (oh the pressure!) and the type of finish (sometimes I'd rather go matte than shiny), I tune in to Netflix and begin polishing. Because binge-watching "House of Cards" or "The Walking Dead" is the only way I can get through painting my nails without messing them up.

But no matter how careful I am about allowing enough drying time for my manicure, there's always a chance that it will smudge. And I just hate having to start all over.

I've tried everything, from sticking my hands underneath a stream of cold water to spritzing my fingertips with Pam cooking spray, but it just makes for one big mess. So, when I got the chance to test out Julep Ta Da! Quick Dry Drops, I was all in.
