I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'story about spirited student i ignored' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'type of magazine' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'type' could be 'style' (style can mean a type or variety of something) and 'style' is found in the answer.
'magazine' could be 'life' (former US magazine) and 'life' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lifestyle that I've seen is " behaviour".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
