Candy Dish: Everyone’s Talking About Audrina Partridge
• Audrina Partridge hates Heidi Montags “music” too.
• What did Chris Brown have to say this time?
• This sorority took hazing a little too seriously.
• Megan Fox has a powerful vagina. Or something.
• Go ahead – wear white after Labor Day.
• These are some misleading signs…
Your Friend Cheated – Now What?
Okay, so here’s the problem: Alex isn’t just some guy. Alex is the guy with whom your friend is cheating (well this is the second time) on her boyfriend. Bigger problem: you happen to be really good friends with boyfriend boy.
Oy.

Countdown to College: It’s (Almost) Here!
In a couple of days, I will be leaving for college for the first time. No big deal, right?
Try telling that to my wobbly knees and trembling hands. Don’t get me wrong; I’m totally excited about going to college. But, at the same time, I’m nervous as hell. My type A personality is rearing its ugly head in the form of innumerable “what ifs” and “holy sh*ts.”
Smokin’ The Pot Is Good For You
It turns out that marijuana may actually be good for us binge-drinking party animals, AKA: college students. The study showed that smoking the pot helped protect our brains from all that harmful boozing (ice luge, anyone?) we do on a weekly basis.
Why You Should…Throw Away Your Stuff
We’re always told “less is more.” I’m sure a couple of you out there are familiar with the concept (it’s certainly true in the case of kissing and the amount of tongue insertion…and someone needs to inform that guy I made out with last night). Recently, I’ve become more attracted to the concept of having less stuff.
Wardrobe Wish List: Bomber Jacket
Every year there’s that one item I MUST add to my closet (even if it means living on Ramen for the next month to afford it). Despite the fact that my shopping addiction has my closet filled to the brim, I always justify the need for a new piece by the “school shopping” tradition instilled in me since elementary school.
I’m Torn: The Zoe Report
You’ve seen her work: the girls with big hair, big bags, and big sunglasses. Arms full of bangles, chunky platforms, skinny jeans effortlessly slung on the hips. Flowy, glamorous dresses accented with loads of accessories and a ton of bronzer: this is Rachel Zoe style.

Who Deserves The HP Laptop Bundle? [Vote!]
We put out a call to CollegeCandy readers last week to submit their P.O.S. computer sob stories (with photos, of course!) to win a brand new laptop bundle from HP. And boy were there a lot of them. Seriously, we had no idea so many of you were still using desktops! WTF?!
Body Blog: Running is Good for Your Knees?!
Too many times, my running activity is hindered by pain. After numerous doctor’s visits and trips to the physical therapist, I’ve learned that chondromalacia patella or “Runner’s Knee” is the cause. This is when your knee cap rubs against one side of the knee joint … ugh, I just cringe at the thought of it.
Weekly Ten: She’s Just Not That Into You
This week, I’m breakin’ it down for the boys out there. Myself, and many CollegeCandies are not big fans of He’s Just Not That Into You. I do think the book has some valid points, but it’s way too over the top. So I’ve decided to write a rebuttal and tackle the ten signs that She’s Just Not That Into You.
Overheard: Parks and Recreation
(Older student, talking to high schooler on campus tour.)
Student: There’s actually a statistic, I think, something like 30 percent of the liquid of water parks is urine.
High schooler: Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable. That’s about right.
Student: What the f***? No it’s not! That would be disgusting!
Is He Into You or Into Just Anybody?
How can you tell if the person you’re talking to is actually interested in you, or just interested in an interchangeable sex buddy to use later that night? You’re too special to be referred to as “hot girl with the big rack,” so learn how to tell which guys are genuinely interested, and which guys are playing their odds with every girl in the room.
Intro to Cooking: Muy Delicioso Meatloaf
I love to have a big, hunka meat right in my face, teasing and seducing me.
I’m talking about dinner, you dirty birdies! My fave plate of anti-vegetarianism is without a doubt the beloved meatloaf. But that’s one meal that can easily turn bland and pack in the saturated fat like Brit Brit on a junk food binge.
