Shopping Your Closet: 3 Ways To Wear A Black T-Shirt
A t-shirt is probably something you wear to the gym, or to class with a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie. However, that plain, boring black tee has a lot of fashion potential. Here, I used this black t-shirt from American Eagle Outfitters to create three cute outfits that anyone could pull off. Here are three new ways to rock a plain t-shirt:
The 5 Questions We Ask Everyone: Supergirl, Liz Funk
As a college student, to say my life is hectic would be a gross underestimation. Between classes, homework, an internship, clubs, my social life, and all of those pesky responsibilities (groceries, laundry, cleaning…ugh), I’m always pressed for time, and facing pressures to do even more.

Money Matters: StudentRate.com is THE Hottest Site for Poor College Kids!
Being a poor college student sucks…except when other people notice and begin to cater directly to us and our needs. Like the student rate at the movie theater, or Apple’s sweet discount for college students.
Take That Tax Refund and Splurge!
Ok, so April 15th (Tax Day) isn’t everyone’s favorite day, but it is for those of us with a refund coming. Hollaaaa. Personally, I have some big money coming my way. At first I was just planning on making it rain, but then I realized that spring is coming and there are lots of magnificent things out there that I can spend this new dinero on.
Fit Finds: You Bet Your Fat On It
A little friendly competition never hurt anyone…And when it comes to shaping up, sometimes it helps to have the motivation of others spurring you on. For me, the most dedicated I have ever been to regular gym-going and eating right was when I either had a goal in mind (running a half-marathon last summer) or when I had others keeping me accountable.
And The $25 Worth Of Granola Goes To…
As you know, we teamed up with MixMyGranola.com last week to give one lucky CollegeCandy reader $25 worth of her very own special blend of granola. There were lots of great entries (and tons of great “recipes”), but we could only choose one winner.
Candy Dish: Tamara Hofmann Loves Students
• And this is why you don’t sleep with your teacher.
• Kim Kardashian looks hot for a workout.
• Tax Day dining deals!
• Britney’s tour ending early?
• Get more wear out of your wardrobe.
• Simon may be leaving Idol.

Let it Rock: I Listen to Whatever the Internet Tells me to Listen to
When the Internets talk, I listen. Really. Think about how easy the Internet makes it to discover new music. Almost as easy as it is to find porn. Sometimes when I’m bored, I just browse the Internet to discover new bands and I’m constantly shocked by how many artists and bands I’ve never heard of until I see or hear them online.
Candy Dish: Ben and Jerry Are Our Heroes
• Ben and Jerry’s announces new ice cream flavor!
• Lil’ Kim has DWTS wardrobe malfunction.
• Orlando Bloom sure looks good in uniform.
• Looking for the perfect white tee? Look no further.
• Zac Efron is everywhere!
• Love Tetris? How ’bout Tetris furniture?
Dude! Why I Sometimes Wish I Was a Guy
It was a feeling that started with the Ocean’s 11 movie franchise, and then Judd Apatow came along and just knocked it into next week: sometimes I just wish I was part of the boy’s club. I want to drink martinis or beer and talk about chicks and make dirty jokes with my friends all day!
Night Styler: Right On Target
So it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Tarjay and all the cheap cuteness it has to offer, but even I still have my days when I’m amazed at just how good a deal you can find there. Today is one of those days.
Your Mom Just Facebooked Me
Beware, your mother is on now Facebook. You don’t believe me? Well, CNN has the proof. They are reporting that women over 55 are the fastest growing group on Facebook. That’s right, your mother is sending you a friend request at this very moment.
Do It Yourself Tuesday: (Decadent) Apple Dumplings
Apple pie has always been an American fave, sure, but that term “easy as pie” doesn’t really apply to me. What is easy about cutting up a billion apples, making a crust and then waiting to eat it? So when I decided I wanted something similar, I made myself something akin to a mini apple pie, sans the irritating process of cutting up apples.
Senioritis: No Offense, But…
I’ve always appreciated the phrase “no offense but (insert ANYTHING!)” for it’s ability to take away all offense to the next part of the statement. I went through about a thirteen year phrase where I truly believed that saying “no offense, but” before I said the most heinous thing possible would make it impossible for the person to be mad at me.
Tuffy Luv Says: USE CONDOMS
I’m really in love with my boyfriend and we’ve been dating for almost a year now. He’s a great guy and I know he would never cheat on me. So I’ve decided to go on the pill and give up condoms. What’s the quickest pill to kick in? I am so sick of condoms. I’m not even kidding.
Beware of Mutant Acne!
Bad news for me, but good news for the giant under-the-surface zit brewing on my chin: acne bacteria may now be outsmarting the medicines we have been using to cure it. Say it with me: O.M.G.
