House of Jazmin…The Hills 2.0?
So as I spent another long summer day mourning the loss of LC from my biggest guilty pleasure (yeah, I’m still not over it), a promo for a new MTV show, House of Jazmin, caught my eye. I don’t really get the spelling of her name, but Jaz is young, cute, and bound to have messy, dramatic hookups every week…
8 Under $20: Forever 21
So as I write this, I’m sitting on my lanai (balcony) overlooking the beautiful, blue Maui ocean (yes, I’m on my first “real” vacay in years), which means I’m not particularly keen on scouring the internet for under $20 deals for long periods of time (not to mention, they’re only giving me an hour of free wifi). So where did I head? The mother of all cheap & trendy spots: Forever 21.

Your Flip Flops Will Kill You
They come in all different colors, styles, and sizes. They’re a part of our daily uniform during the summertime (Editor’s Note: And if you’re me, they stay in rotation until the snow begins to fall); we wear them to the beach, to work, or when we’re just hangin’ out in the house. Some people may hate on flip flops, but they are truly god’s gift to mankind (after Channing Tatum and Coldstone Creamery, of course).
Life After College: Grown-Ups Are Boring
This past weekend I was invited to a friend’s brother’s uncle’s neighbor’s housewarming party at a penthouse. I went not only because I liked casually slipping it into conversation that I was going to a roof party, but also because I’m constantly trying to figure out the secret to going from a post-grad intern to a real employee who can afford to pay rent on an apartment.
Tuffy Luv Gets Choked Up
Dear Tuffy Luv,

Last week my boyfriend of two years broke up with me because he’s not sure if I’m the one. He said he wanted to be friends (seriously), and I told him I couldn’t be his friend. So then he told me he didn’t want to break up, to which I said I wasn’t going to stay with him if he wasn’t sure he wanted to be with me. So he suggested we take a step back and “just date…
Keep The Nasty To Yourself, Please
You wanna express your love with your man? Fine, but keep it in the bedroom. No one needs to see you shoving your tongue down his throat (or your hand down his pants) when they’re going about their daily business. And you know what else we don’t want to see? You shoving your hand down your own pants to adjust those boy shorts that keep creeping up your crack.
We’ve All Been There: Reunited And It Feels So…Repetitive
Your bags are unpacked, your Harry Potter poster is hanging over your bed, and you’re celebrating your first night back on campus with some Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka drinks and the new roommates. Ahhhh. How good it feels to be back.

The Best Friend Break Up
Most people know how much it sucks to break up with a boyfriend. Whether he treated you horribly or the relationship has just run its course, telling your boyfriend adios is not easy. And is usually followed by tears, vodka, long trips to the gym, or some combination of all three.

In Defense of Hipsters
I want to propose the unthinkable: I think hipsters are kind of OK.
Many, many people disagree – even some here at CollegeCandy – but if you can look past the obvious (like the mustaches and the outline of the boys’ genitalia through their super tight denim), I think our friends in Bushwick and the ‘Burg have some redeeming qualities.
Dear Welcome Week, I LOVE YOU
There is a holiday that exists that, in my heart, surpasses Christmas and even Halloween (which is a pretty bad ass holiday, because it involves drinking, candy, and costumes). This holiday is Welcome Week. Oh yes, that’s a holiday, even if it isn’t recognized by calenders or…anyone who doesn’t go to college.
