Dont give up on me; I will improve soon

Every New Years Eve, before my best friends and I pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, we write down two lists: a list of everything we want to happen in the new year, and a list of everything we dont want to happen. Then, we go all Usher on the list of things we dont want, and let it burn. As of this writing, I dont know what words are written on my lists this year. (Its currently still December.) But I hope my want list includes not only some amazing goals and dreams, but also some stupid mistakes. Because lets be honest, what is a good year without a good story? I dont know about you, but some of my best stories from 2012 include me being really stupid and drunk, but mostly just stupid...and drunk. This year, 2013, lets strive to be better, prettier and make STUPIDER mistakes. Heck, we should strive to be better individuals not only on New Years and the month of January, but all year long--or is that just stupid? Oh yes, me and stupid mistakes will work out just fine this year.

Cute & Curvy

If youve got it, flaunt it. For your curvy figure, use a pair of tights as a means to color block. Choose a dark purple or a deep mahogany. Then wear a dress that accentuates that smallest part of you (usually the area right underneath your chest). Voila! A match made in heaven.

Your proportional torso comes in handy, but its time to give yourself some waist! Pair dark neutral tights like black, brown, or gray with your favorite dress. Belt that sucker and youve got a case of the curves.

Theyre so versatile and can be worn with anything. Theyre a quick go-to outfit.

Its an easy way to add a pop of color.

TH TIGHTS
Pretty & Petite

The winter season calls for ladys timeless fashion accessory tights. However, its the 21st century, which means theres no reason to bust out your mothers torn pantyhose. You want tights that love your bodyand, of course, give you a reason to postpone shaving your legs. Check out these tights for your body type!

Tall & Trendy

Embrace your height. Youve got legs for days, so show em off! Try out patterned tights with bold colors or a confident lacey look. Underneath shorts, youll be turning heads wherever you go.

Tights are perfect for your tiny frame, but you dont want to overpower your small size. Choose a subtle, sexy pair of tights. A nude or light gray pair with an elegant pattern will add the perfect amount of pizazz to your outfit without overdoing it.

Caitriana Haynes, 19 Hometown: Sugarland Major: Foreign Affairs

[The dots] add something extra to it. Instead of keeping something extremely simple, theres a little bit of flair.

MYTHBUSTERS!
Debunking Diet Misconceptions
if you do not suffer from Celiac Disease, there is no reason for you to not eat foods with glutenthere are no added health benefits. MYTH: WEIGHT IS THE BEST WAY TO MEASURE DIET SUCCESS TRUTH: HEALTH IS THE BEST WAY TO MEASURE DIET SUCCESS Your weight is one of the easiest ways to tell whether youre accomplishing your health goals, but weighing yourself every day or after every gym session and expecting to see a drastic change is unrealistic and can just be discouraging. MYTH: NO PAIN, NO GAIN TRUTH: PAIN CAN BE AN INDICATOR OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM While feeling sore after going H.A.M. in the gym is normal, feeling pain can be a sign that something not okay, especially if you arent used to working out. Take your time, pace yourself and work up to your goals to prevent injuries. If you feel unbearable pain from working out excessively, make sure you see a physician and take a little easier next time, Rocky.

BURN CALS THE EASY WAY!

Sneaky ways to get slim
1. STEP IT UP Adding stairs and skipping the elevator will add some tone to your bootay and hamstrings while burning calories you otherwise would have kept throughout the day. 2. USE A LOTTA LOT Park further than you normally would. It is always tempting to take that front row spot, but park a little further away and book it to the door to add some cardio to your day! 3. MUNCH IN THE MORNING One good guide is to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. A common mistake is skiping breakfast but thats skipping the opportunity to jump-start your metabolism! Eat most of your calories with your breakfast, and your body will burn calories faster throughout the day. 4. GET YO H2O Drinking your eight cups a day will boost your metabolic rate by about 30%! 5. WALK IT OUT Turn on your jams and walk like youre on a mission. Youve seen those power-walkers at the mall; they know what theyre doing! 6. DONT SKIP THE STARBUCKS Caffeine also increases your metabolic rate. Just make sure youre not drinking so much that you get dehydrated. 7. HIT THE SHEETS Getting sleep isnt always easy, but research shows that not getting enough sleep is linked to weight gain and metabolism drops. 8. SPICE IT UP Research shows that spicy foods can increase your metabolism. 9. SIT UP STRAIGHT Good posture works your abs and burns calories without you even realizing it! 10. GRAB SOME GUM Chewing gum will not only burn a few calories, but will keep you from eating when youre not hungry by keeping your mouth occupied.

MYTH: CARBS MAKE YOU FAT TRUTH: GOOD CARBS ARE THE WAY TO GO It is the conception that all carbs are bad, but the truth is that carbs give you vital energy and the sugars your body needs to work. The trick is to know what carbs to eat and in what portions dont go Regina George on us. (Is BUTTER a carb?!) Opt for whole wheat bread and pastas, and always read packages for the appropriate serving sizes. MYTH: ANYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM A GLUTENFREE DIET TRUTH: GLUTEN-FREE DIETS ARE FOR THOSE WITH INTOLERANCE TO IT Ok, so it seems that glucose-free diets have become all the rage now. This is mostly due to the awareness and better diagnosis of celiac disease. Gluten causes inflammation in the small intestines of people with celiac disease. However, 22 | JANUARY 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM

THE BEST BEAUTY PRODUCTS FO YO BOD

Because buying things is easier than exercise
1. Jergens Natural Glow + Firming Daily Moisturizer Tans, firms AND moisturizes? What more could you need?! 2. Fake Bake Sunless Tanning Foam This stuff gets you looking tan, but NOT orange.

T RA E-THE LAST MONTHS WINNERS: T -DA E Festive Fun

You voted and--in a close match--Victoria won a date with Dane! The crazy kids met at Austin's Pizza right before break for some mid-finals fun, but did their hearts melt for each other like mozzarella or was the date a total dud? Read and find out...
Dane Jeske Victoria Celis

The date with Victoria was great! We talked mostly just about college experiences and such, but she was very interesting and also quite funny. We also talked a lot about our spirit organizations (Me: Absolute Texxas, her: Darlins), which she is now currently the president of. That was another great thing we had in common since I also served as President of AT a while back. Overall, Victoria was a great date and I had an awesome time hanging out with her over a few drinks. Definitely happy I signed up for the Study Breaks blind date.

I had a great time with Dane at Austins Pizza. We had a lot in common and really bonded over the organizations we are in. He was the President of Absolute Texxas and I will be the President of Texas Wrangler Darlins, so he gave me some pointers and weve already set up a mixer between us for the spring semester. Dane is definitely a gentleman and one of the nicest, down to earth guys Ive met while at UT. The date went well and Im sure well be hanging out again soon!

HOW HOT WAS THE DATE?

Mostly As: BEN RAPELESBERGER
.uhhRoethlisberger. Youll play a game on two broken legs and force yourself on some ladies afterwards. Nothing can stop youbesides the law.

Mostly Bs: TIMOTHY TEBOW

Fresh out of the Bible Belt (maybe?), youre part of one of the worst QB tandems of all time, but youre damn excited about it. Youre also a very nice Christian man, so anyone that hates you is probably on the highway to hell, or at least on Santas naughty list.

Mostly Cs: TOM BRADY

Youre one of the best QBs ever and one good looking sum bitch. Youve been running the league for years and youre married to a supermodel, so youre pretty much living the American dream. However, something about you just screams douchebag.

Mostly Ds: PEYTON MANNING

Youre also one of the greatest QBs of all time, and it seems like youre always breaking some sort of record. Between your on-field play and TV commercials, its hard not to like you. You also just bought several Papa Johns franchises in Colorado where marijuana was just legalizedcrafty.

Mostly Es: TONY ROMO

When youre good, youre good, but when youre bad, youre bad. According to Cowboys fans, youre supposed to lead them to the Super Bowl every year but you dont. It appears that youve never been the same since the infamous 2006 Wild Card game against the Seahawks, but at least you make the Cowboys funny to watch. STUDYBREAKS.COM | JANUARY 2013 | 39

Spring Break on a Budget

HIT THE BEACH FOR A BARGAIN WITH INERTIA TOURS!

MUST DO

ouve eaten Ramen for the past three months, and you cant remember the last time you put gas in your car. Well, heres some good news for you, broke college kid. Despite your lack of cash flow, this years spring break doesnt have to reflect your cheapskate semester. If you book with Inertia Tours, you can spend 4 nights and 5 days on South Padre Island for only $250 dollars. Plus, you get 2 dine-out meals per day and a $30 dollar gas card. Not to mention, you can hit up Coca Cola Beach, spend your drunken nights at the best beach bars around and kick back at one of the top ten spring break spots in the United States. So snatch up this steal and hit that sand for the week of a lifetime. You know you need a tan.

a reason you can drive there, theres no passport or flight, and youll get the total lowest cost. 3. Book early. Booking in early January instead of February will cut the condo/hotel costs by up to 40 percent. 4. Bring supplies with you: a cooler, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, koozie, even paper plates and cups. 5. Purchase snacks and basic food at Wal-Mart or H-E-B before you leave home. 6. Pack your SUV or car for the road trip as full as possible. Put six or even eight people in a large SUV. The more people, the more ways to split gas cost. 7. Shorten the length of your trip. Going from seven nights to four nights will reduce the trip cost by 35 percent per person. 8. Pre-purchase your alcohol BEFORE you arrive on South Padre Island, because liquor stores and convenient stores will mark the price up. 9. Book maximum occupancy at your condo or hotel. This allows you to split the overall cost as many ways as possible. 10. Make sure you do some homework thats not just online. Ask the firm you are booking with for professional references with names, phone numbers and emails. Ask for past clients that used your booking agency. Check out their reviews. Most of all, use a credit card to pay for your trip if you are ripped off, call the credit card company to have them go to bat for you.

1. Get an out the door price in writing with all of the taxes and fees possible included from your booking agency. This means no scams and no hidden fees. Book several rooms or condos together as a group and use a tour company to get a slight discount. 2. Book a U.S. destination. Theyre selling red hot for

HOROSCOPES SPOT THE DIFFERENCE THATS A FACT JACK

Can you spot the 5 differences between the two photos?

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

JANUARY

The stars tell you whats in store this season.

Aries - Its a new year; that means a new you! You want that smokin hot figure, and now is the perfect time to start that awesome workout regimen youve always wanted to try. Taurus - Stick to that healthy-eating New Years resolution this year; you have more determination than you think. Gemini - Youve been stuck in the same old
workout routine. Its time to get a new one. Try out something fresh and fun, like stand-up paddleboarding or bikram yoga.

Cancer - Yeah, those drinks are good, but have you looked in the mirror lately? Lay off of the booze; your body will thank you later. Leo - All semester, gym classes are starting up
again. Ask your friends to join a class with you. Its a great way to reconnect after break and get back in shape!

Virgo - Wondering whether or not to try out

that new recipe? Go for it; with your creativity, its going to turn out great.

Libra - Think about yourself first when making choices. Invest in some me time; your body will thank you. Scorpio - Dedicate that energy you have when partying to accomplishing other goalslike looking hot in that summer swimwear.
1. Finger Horror 2. Smoking - even a pipe - is bad for you 3. Ridiculous disguise 4. Wig 5. Pirate attire

THATS A FACT JACK

It takes approximately 20 minutes for your brain to know that your stomach is full. Similar to fingerprints, everyone also has a unique tongue print. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. That works out to about 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70. Your nose can remember 50,000 different scents. The average person produces about 25,000 quarts of saliva enough to fill two swimming pools!
COMPILED BY: MARIA ROQUE PHOTOS: TECHVT; GOJEFFREY, TAYLOR THOMPSON

Sagittarius - Your independent streak will help you break from the routine and challenge yourself in the gym. Capricorn - Happy Birthday! What better way to celebrate yourself than by going out? Make sure you look good by getting some workouts in before your birthday bash. Aquarius - Happy Birthday to you too!
Your creativity will help you plan the best birthday celebration you have ever had. Dancing is a great way to celebrate and burn some cals!

Pisces - Motivate your friends to jump on the fitness train with you. They will thank you later, and you will all have fun in the process.
