It’s that time of year again. Finals looms ahead and with it brings dire desperation. We all ask ourselves, “What the hell have I been doing all semester? What do you mean this test is cumulative?” There’s no time to avoid this moment, it is upon you. However, there are some things you can do [...]

My Favorite New Band: Suite 709 at The Parish
August 24, 2010 – 11:55 pm
I imagined coming home to Austin would offer relief and rest from my summer adventures in California and Hawaii. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. This city has the uncanny ability to fill every night with random shenanigans. Come out this Friday to see one of my favorite bands, Suite 709 at the Parish! [...]
Tucker Max: Head to Head with the World’s Greatest Asshole
June 15, 2010 – 8:19 pm
You’ve all heard the name, and many of you list him as your deity of choice. Study Breaks worked hard (and by hard we mean while drinking at the bar before the Red Bull Collegiate Chariot Race) to get this exclusive interview. Enjoy.
California: The Arrival
May 29, 2010 – 12:20 am
In case you’ve been out of the Study Breaks loop, I have left our casual, hippie loving city for the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles. This small town girl was in for quite the culture shock. Never before have I thought so long and hard about what to wear to the grocery store. Wish [...]
Leslie Lives!
May 20, 2010 – 6:37 pm
There are many things that make Austin Austin. Our token phrase, “Keep Austin Weird,” is said by locals with a sense of pride, even among the most conservative craniums. One Austinite has strutted his way into the very heart of Austin’s definition. We know him as Leslie. His full name is Albert Leslie Cochran, and [...]
Pretty Wild: Pretty Much the Worst Show EVER
May 12, 2010 – 5:06 am
For some reason America prefers to watch absolute crap and call it television, but this is a new low. Someone needs to get fired for this abomination called entertainment. If you don’t watch the show, Pretty Wild, and have no idea what I’m talking about, congratulate yourself on having a standard of self respect. For [...]
Chelsea, you’re hilarious, but who dressed you?
May 12, 2010 – 4:46 am
No doubt it doesn’t matter what Chelsea wears… She’s hilarious, and I love her regardless. But really, the horizontal stripes have got to stop. And that pink shirt with the shoulder pads… burn it. I’m normally not one to rant or give a damn about fashion fails (as I usually fall victim to them) but [...]

Here’s the behind the scenes of the Style Guide photo shoot. Please don’t mind the terrible videography done by moi… I’m learning people!
SXSW Highlights and Recap
March 23, 2010 – 7:42 pm
How did my Sunday after SXSW go down? Slept until noon, ran errands until 4pm, watched Kung Fu Panda, was back asleep by 6pm and woke up Monday morning at 9am. This is the level of sleep deprivation I imposed on my body. Was it worth it? Every dehydrating bit of it. I would first [...]
SXSW: Tiny Book of Outrageous Thoughts Version
March 19, 2010 – 10:08 pm
I arrived in Austin from Orlando at 11:20pm on Monday. I was downtown by 12:10am. The shenanigans began. While I was in Florida, a wise and well traveled man told me to revel in life’s small moments. He gave me a tiny, red, leather bound journal. This is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever received [...]
