  • The Unreasonable Cost of Birth Control on Campus

    The Unreasonable Cost of Birth Control on Campus

    When someone wrote into College Candy asking us to investigate the raising prices of birth control on and near college campuses across America, I was moderately shocked. My freshman year, not to intentionally date myself–rather to make a point, was 2002.

  • Candy Dish: We Heart Chelsea Handler

    Candy Dish: We Heart Chelsea Handler

    Chelsea Handler will be sticking around for awhile, Denise Richards booted from DWTS, and Lindsay Lohan is broke. Maybe that’s why she hasn’t been eating…

  • Let it Rock: A Little Bit of Everything

    Let it Rock: A Little Bit of Everything

    I have pretty eclectic tastes when it comes to music. I’ll give most anything a chance and find myself loving everything from Kings of Leon to Escape the Fate to Rascal Flatts to Kelly Clarkson. You get the point. So, I was especially excited this week when I saw how crazy different each of the new releases were.

  • Candy Dish: Someone Wants to Kill Britney

    Candy Dish: Someone Wants to Kill Britney

    Britney gets death threats? Harrison Ford getting married? An end to split ends? Big day, people. Big day.

  • Have You Seen Your Doctor Lately?

    Have You Seen Your Doctor Lately?

    When’s the last time you took a trip to visit your good old friend, the doctor? Chances are you’ve missed some really important appointments! It’s time to suck it up and face the music, sister.

  • Winter to Spring: Transitioning Your Wardrobe Once Piece at a Time

    Winter to Spring: Transitioning Your Wardrobe Once Piece at a Time

    Growing up on the East Coast, my friends and I were always unbelievably anxious to shed our winter puffies and throw on the denim shorts that were always too short for school (and for walking around, and going out at night, and everything, really…).

  • The Big O(h No)!

    The Big O(h No)!

    Orgasms have been linked to a number of positive health and beauty tricks. They give you that oh-so-satisfying glow, they can lower stress and even reduce headaches and let’s not forget they are very, very fun.

  • Do It Yourself Tuesdays: New Shoes

    Do It Yourself Tuesdays: New Shoes

    Okay, maybe “new” is not technically true. But hear me out.We all have that old once-loved pair of perfectly worn-in shoes that are still perfectly functional but are (a) out of fashion, (b) scratched up, or (c) both.

  • Senioritis: No More Drinking Holidays

    Senioritis: No More Drinking Holidays

    Everything gets celebrated in college. No hook-up is too insignificant for an all day brunch recap and no detagging decision is too trivial to not involve all your friends. So it only gets crazier when it’s an actually nationally recognized holiday.

  • Tuffy Luv Debunks Crap

    Tuffy Luv Debunks Crap

    I’m just curious – what are some sex myths that aren’t true? I keep hearing stuff (like that you can you have sex under water with out a condom and you can’t get pregnant) that I don’t know if it’s true.

  • Technology Ruins Relationships

    Technology Ruins Relationships

    As we’ve all heard by now, John Mayer and Jen Aniston have (again) called it quits. The major gossip magazines originally cited disagreements and busy work schedules as the reasons behind the split…

  • We’ve All Been There: Spring Fever

    We’ve All Been There: Spring Fever

    You wake up for class and something is different. It takes you a moment before you realize that – OH MY GOD! – there is sunlight coming into your room! It’s not dark or dreary out!

  • Is It Ever OK for a Guy to Be Jealous?

    Is It Ever OK for a Guy to Be Jealous?

    Most of the time I see jealous and overly possessive guys driving their girlfriends away. But, then again, if you don’t act jealous at all, you look like you don’t care. Sadly, I’ve seen women admit that it’s nice to know that their guy is a little jealous or possessive of them.
