This week was full of important lessons, realizations, revelations, and interesting facts that I will probably never have to know, but am sure glad I do.
I realized I’m not the only one who gets turned on during a hot and heavy work out sesh; I’ve always wondered what it’s like to pee like man, and now I can; I learned how to do my own bikini wax, properly pluck my eyebrows, and how to really lay one on my crush and know he loved it.
I learned it was National Condom Week (I didn’t even know that existed); women aren’t crazy, men really arejerks; I learned that if I run into my ex, kicking him in his special spot is not the best idea; neither is hooking up with someone your friend’s hooked up with (though that one I kind of already knew).
I was sad to learn that the Prince of Pop is losing his palace; and I learned what drinks I can have that won’t send my calorie count through the roof.
I guess the saying is true, you learn something new everyday.
The big night is finally here! On Sunday Brangelina and Jennifer Aniston will be reuniting for the first time since the big divorce the best actors and actresses in Hollywood will be showered with big gold statues and lots and lots of praise.
Yes, my friends, it’s time for the Oscars!
Who is going to win? Who is going to cry? How hot is Hugh Jackman gonna look? And who is going to wear something totally ridiculous?
Since we have nothing better to do on a Sunday night (and since there is really nothing better than talking sh*t about celebrities/staring at Hugh Jackman for 4 hours), CollegeCandy will be ordering in some Pad Thai and watching every last minute.
Care to join? We’ll be live blogging the Red Carpet Pre-Show on E! starting at 6pm EST. Grab your friends, some wine and your laptop and discuss all the highlights and lowlights of the big event with us!
There’s no one I want to eff more than a man with an accent, and who better to eff than People’s Sexiest Man Alive? Why is Hugh Jackman the sexiest man alive you ask? Um, where should I start… How about his abs? His chest? His scruff? His Biceps.? Oh god, his biceps…
But I digress, of course Hugh is easy on the eyes (and everywhere else) but I’m not completely superficial and shallow. Hugh is the full package, my friends: he sings, dances, acts, and makes me sweat a little every time I see his beautiful effing body.
He offers an array of sexiness on and off screen. Looking for bad-ass sexy? Check out Wolverine in X-men and tell me if mutten chops and a wife beater have ever looked as sexy. Answer: no. Mutants aren’t your thing? That’s okay, because Hugh has you covered. He is so effing sexy in everything he does. Whether you like your man a little rugged (see Australia), or sweet and romantic (via Kate and Leopold), Hugh will bring it. Seriously, who doesn’t like variety? Read More »
It’s amazing how universal the college experience is and how readily we all accept it as normal. Talk to any college student on any college campus in the country and you will easily find common ground: in the drinking games, in the fake ID horror stories, in the theme parties, in the hook ups.
It is only when an outsider (Read: An Old Person) looks in and comments on the college scene that we take a second look and realize that our choices really aren’t that…acceptable.
My friend recently sent me this article, in which some old dude jumps into the college scene and reports what he finds. And what was it? Just your typical weekend at any college campus: parties, makeouts, puking, etc. Only, when he talks about it it sounds a lot different than when we share our stories in a typical Saturday morning recap.Read More »
I’d be lying to you if I said I didn’t like some of Miley Cyrus’ songs, or even guiltily thinking (to myself) last weekend that the preview for her movie looked cute and that maaaybe I would have to find a 9 year old girl to babysit so that I wouldn’t look like such a tool going to see it. (Hey, I know you all saw and loved the Lizzie McGuire Movie! No? Just Me? Okay then…)
But what I can proudly admit to you, dear readers, is my love affiar with this Theory dress that our gal pal is wearing. It’s simple, it’s flattering and it’s a dress-up or down type of frock.
But, as we all know, Theory’s prices don’t exactly fit in our college chic budgets. (Let’s be real for a moment: any extra money we have is going to Vodka Tonics/late night eats.) Thank god you guys have me, then. I found the perfect pieces to build this look without having to worry about your DVR services being cancelled (lest you miss an episode of Real Housewives).
So here is this week’s Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Miley Cyrus Has a Fashion Theory.
So now I’m a second-semester freshman and I am finally getting the hang of what college is all about. And there are two myths that I was told over and over again were not true when I first got here, but I only now agree. I wish I had believed my older friends when they promised me these parts of college were just a stereotype. Instead I shied away from people my first semester, assuming college just couldn’t be so perfect.
First, upperclassmen are not nearly as scary as they seem. Despite the equal age gap between a freshman and senior in high school versus college, the latter feels much smaller. Last semester, I kept far away from anyone who didn’t fit the “oh-my-gosh-I-am-new-so-let’s-hang-out” stereotype. It was comforting to be with people in my same position. I loved my classes with only freshmen. Strength in numbers. Read More »
Watch out, Mariah; you’ve got some serious competition. The only performance better than this one is this one. WTF is up with Korean Karaoke? We. love. it.
A recent article (seriously, you are gonna want to read this one) in the New York Times studied college students and their inflated and questionably reasonable expectations when it comes to grades.
“Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, found that a third of students surveyed said that they expected B’s just for attending lectures, and 40 percent said they deserved a B for completing the required reading.”
We decided to see where college students stood on this issue, so we asked two of the CollegeCandy writers for their perspectives. What do you think? Read More »
Between Beyonce’s latest mega-hit, “If I Were a Boy,” and our recent discovery of a tool that lets women pee standing up, I started thinking about what it would be like to be a guy for a day. Is peeing standing up really all it’s cracked up to be? And do guys really have it easier than us on a day-to-day basis?
This week, the CollegeCandy team weighs in on this very topic. What would they do if they could be guys for a day. What would you do? Read More »
