Some reading to start your weekend…

Enjoy your Labor Day/four-day work week? The holiday is a good reminder of what Americans haven’t mastered: taking time off. [via Huff Post]

From Time, a look at a new American Dream: moving away from the suburbs.

Just in time for back-to-school: colleges made for Instagram. Hint: my alma mater makes the list. [via Buzzfeed]

More good information for students: those highly-recommended study methods may not be so effective after all. [via The Washington Post]

Two must-reads from the Poynter Institute on women and journalism: first, The New York Times is lacking when it comes to using female sources in news stories, while two journalists founded a magazine to highlight longform journalism produced by women.

From The Frisky, just a friendly reminder that those before/after fitness pictures you see on Pinterest aren’t exactly the real deal.

I’m sure you’re over the whole Miley Cyrus-VMA debacle, but Kate from Life Sucks In A Strapless Bra has a great post on why MTV needs to step it up.

Any good reads I should catch up on?

P.S. I had a great time meeting some fellow Philly bloggers at the Philly Blog Love happy hour this week! Check some of the fab bloggers: Trend Hungry | Streets & Stripes | Her Philly | Shen Dove Style | Jessica Lawlor: Get Gutsy

One of those sweet, nostalgic stories no one tells anymore: a wallet is found in New York City after being lost for forty years.

From the Sun-times, a breakdown of some of The Social Network‘s best scenes. If you’re a movie buff, you don’t have to like the movie to find this fascinating.

From Cracked: secrets as to why Hollywood movies suck.

Cute and affordable must-haves for spring!

A (male) lawyer argues why women are better at almost everything than men. Makes sense to me!

From Elle, 25 things every women should know.

This is hilarious (at least to me) – college as told by stock photos.

And finally, a freshmen dorm at Fordham put together this crazy lip-dub to Cee-Lo’s “Forget You (FU)”. You can watch the video on Vimeo here.

P.S. See, I can talk about something other than the Oscars!
