Have You Ever Gotten “The Disease”?
Things with the boy have been going pretty smoothly for the past few weeks! You guys finally made it through that awkward phase where you only texted each other when you were drunk, and now you’ve been meeting up for (sober!) study sessions during the week pretty regularly.
The Morning After: The Devil Goes Commando
It was the Thursday night before homecoming, and a frat was throwing a “Heaven and Hell” themed party for my sorority. We were to dress like devils and the boys like angels, so I threw on a teeny-tiny LBD, a pair of devil horns from the dollar store and borrowed red patent leather pumps from my friend.

Intro to Cooking: Advice (and a Recipe) From an Expert
College can be the greatest place on earth… that is, until the cash starts running low. And since right after you read this you are going to head to Urban Outfitters “just to look around”, and you are bound to find that rug/lamp/’80s drinking game/hip wall art, and you just “absolutely have to have them all because they are all so cute and will go perfect in your room,” you might not be the most frugal shopper on campus.
CC Beauty Live: Spring Break Tips
It’s time to start preparing your beauty arsenal for SB 2010. And there’s a lot to think about. You want to make sure not to bring too much (you don’t want to be “that girl” with a whole separate duffel bag for her beauty supplies), but you also want to bring your cheaper products in case Boozy Suzy turns into a kleptomaniac.
One Month Challenge: Sober, Week 4
It’s here. My final sober weekend. Even though this month has flown by and been not only easy, but totally productive, I am at the point where I am truly glad it’s over. For the most part, going stone cold sober hasn’t really been as challenging as I expected it to be. But that all changed on Wednesday. I don’t know if it was the playlist was I listening to or the stress mounting, but I hit a wall and for the first time in 25 days, all I wanted was a giant cocktail.
The 5 Questions We Ask Everyone: The Boys of The Buried Life
MTV’s “The Buried Life” has us all hooked for more reasons than one. The boys are cute, funny, and actually doing something good for society. Their love for life and adventure is contagious and each episode leaves us inspired, wondering what sorts of things we can accomplish before we die.
Losing Weight The Healthy Way
If you want to lose a few pounds (or a lot of pounds) there are very healthy ways of doing so. Ways that don’t require you to binge on exercising or skip meals. We asked our friend Erin, a health and diet connoisseur for the college female at Student Body, for her advice on dieting the healthy way.

Saturday Read: The Pact, by Jodi Picoult
I read “My Sister’s Keeper” in the summer and finished it off in about 4 hours. And, although I hate to admit it (I’m a book snob), I really, really enjoyed it. So, when I felt like a read that could really tug at my heartstrings, I knew I should head to the Picoult section of my local bookstore.
From CollegeFashion: 3 Stylish Ways to Wear Your Hoodies and Zip-Ups
Hoodies and zip-ups are foolproof garments when it comes to warmth and comfort. However, sometimes it’s all too easy to look like you’re wearing sweats or gym clothes when you’re rocking a hoodie. Fortunately, there are lots of stylish ways to make hoodies work as part of a fashionable wardrobe – you just have to get a little creative.
Weekly Wrap Up: It’s Almost March?
Is anyone else slightly concerned March is nipping at our ankle booties? I can’t believe February has gone by so fast. It seems like only yesterday I was crying into a heart shaped tray of chocolates and shopping for cats online. (OK, so maybe I was…)
Goodbye Olympics, Helloooo TV!
We at CollegeCandy have really enjoyed watching the Winter Olympics (read: ogling the hot athletes). But as much fun as it was rooting on our people for the past two weeks, I’m a little more than psyched that some of my favorite shows are coming back!
Single. With a Shred of Hope
As you might have noticed last week, I am currently a little (read: a LOT) cynical towards the male species as a whole. But despite my extremely bitter outlook on men, I had a realization today that gave me some hope.
Spring Break Truths
Spring Break is nearly here and for many of you that means your first ever real College Spring Break: the beach, the drinks, the bikinis, the (lots and lots of ) partying. I bet you can already taste the salt on your margarita. But before you pack those bags and head off for “the most epic vacation, EVER!!”, there’s a few things you should know.
