It’s no secret that everyone wants honestly in their relationship, but there are some things we just DON’T want to know (or want them to know!).  Much like you wouldn’t disclose to your man exactly what happened between you and his roommate freshman year, here’s a list of things we definitely do not want to hear from guys we’re gettin’ down with:

1. His “Number”: I admit that sometimes I get curious and I’m tempted to ask, but I resist! I really don’t wanna know how many other chicks he’s gotten naked with, especially if I’m into him.

2. Bowel movements: Even if the relationship is years old, there should still be a little mystery in the bathroom. He should tell his frat brothers about what he’s doing/did/about to do (in graphic detail) in there, not me.

3. Anything positive about his ex: I don’t care if she was pretty, smart, a good cook, or great in bed. It’s best not to mention her at all, but if he must, we prefer to hear that she was some variation of a crazy person who didn’t fulfill his needs and has much, much smaller boobies.

February is International Boost Self-Esteem Month, and I think it comes at a perfect time.  We could all benefit from a little (or big) boost of self-lovin’ when the holidays are long gone, the weather is cold, and school is starting to get stressful again.

Self-esteem is a major issue in our perfection-driven and celeb-obsessed society, and college-aged women are especially vulnerable.  There’s so much pressure to get straight A’s, pad your resume with extracurriculars, be a social butterfly and a dating expert, and look like a model while doing it all.  It’s so easy for our self-esteem to plummet when expectations for us are sky-high, but letting this happen can actually be dangerous!

Low self-worth puts you at a high risk for eating disorders (experts say that at least 1/5 of college girls suffer from one), and drug use, and can eventually lead to unhealthy relationships and problems in the workplace.  So this month, let’s stop with the self-deprecating and learn to love ourselves!

Need a little help? No problem. We turned to some experts to give us tried-and-true tips to boost our self-esteem. No cheesy mantras here – just real things you can do to make yourself feel better about…yourself. Read More »

"I like dudes...er... I mean, I'm allergic to lady bits."

Ever since Twilight hit the theaters, the world has been looking for signs of a love affair between RPatz and K-Stew. We’ve been looking for photo evidence and waiting for some confirmation from their reps. But maybe what we should have been looking for is an itchy rash around Robert’s mouth?

Recently, RPatz has claimed he is blatantly “allergic” to lady parts. After working with naked women in a racy Details shoot, he revealed, “I really hate vagina’s. I’m allergic to vagina’s.”

Allergic, eh? Kinda like how I used to pretend I was allergic to carrots because I just preferred chocolate cake. Yeah, we’ve all heard that one before, Roberto; you ain’t foolin us. That vagina allergy paired with that perfectly mussed up hair and alleged love affair with a girl who looks eerily similar to a 12-year-old boy is telling a different story.

A story we’ve heard from other well-dressed and perfectly groomed guys in the past: Read More »

So I know that half the country is covered in pounds of snow right now, but for some reason I can’t get my mind off the sunshine. All I can think about is pretty colored drinks in hollowed out fruits (and what I’ll be wearing when I drink them). Plus, spring break is coming up sooner than I realized, which means that in the hours that I’m not in the gym (or thinking in my head that I should be at the gym when I’m really on the couch eating Doritos) I’m shopping online for some cute spring outfits.

And let me tell you, I’m drooling over these trends!

If you’re ready to lose the Uggs; the long, colorful scarves; and the gorgeous riding boots behind like me, then read on to know what to start shopping saving money for this spring! Read More »

Got some college questions? Unsure of a decision? Need some sober fun? Just wanna chat it up with some really awesome chics? We’ve got the girls for you. Hit them up in the comments or shoot them an email with the subject “College Q&A”! They’ve got all the answers you need, no matter who you are.

Question:

I’m a Freshman and my first ever college spring break is coming. All of my friends want to do this Cancun trip (everyone we know is going), but it’s really expensive. I want to go away with all of them, but I don’t know if its worth the money. Is this the kind of thing I “can’t miss out on” like they all say?

Busy Bee:

How close are you to these friends? If these are just social friends, you might want to rethink it. Some trips sound like they will be epic, but the excitement ends up fizzling out by the end of the next week. I say save the money for more important things right now (books, college tuition, food) and then splurge on this trip after you graduate (or maybe a different milestone in your life). It may sound far away, but sometimes, trips like this are not necessary. Sure it will be fun, but a week of crazy partying may leave a crazy hole in your bank account. I don’t think it’s worth it at this time. I mean, think about it – if you do go, you’ll be feeling guilty the WHOLE TIME. You’ll be walking on eggshells unsure if you should buy something, cringing at the sound of eating out again, and opting out on another drinking fest, all because you don’t want to spend more than you already have to. Seriously…save this trip for when you’re ready for it. There a tons of other things to do for spring break: volunteering to build homes in rural areas, getting extra hours at your internship, starting your search for a summer job, or getting some much needed rest while everyone else is killing themselves in Cancun.

Our country has had the luck of having some great leaders, uh, lead us, presidential or otherwise. Today’s a day to commemorate, respect and analyze the past and future actions of our country’s leaders. So let’s all raise a glass and pour one out for the current big man on campus, Barack Obama.

And now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s put the beer down and really take a look at our fearless leader.

Unlike the seemingly general population, I am not an Obama fan. Let me rephrase that: I am not a political Obama fan.

[DISCLAIMER: these are my opinions. I’m a headstrong, non-poli sci major who’s just as entitled to my way of thinking as everybody else is, so hear me out. Before you begin your siege on my political thinking, give me a chance to do some explaining.]

Like any other American, there are some major issues that I place a higher value on than others. Though I didn’t vote for Obama in the election, I did happen to agree with him on two of my most important personal issues: stem cell research and investing in infrastructure. My younger sister has had type 1 diabetes for the past 12 years. Growing up with my (then) six-year-old sister having to constantly worry about her health and poke herself with needles has certainly made an impact on me. When I grew up and learned that there was a way for her to live a happier, more hassle free life, educating myself and advocating for this research became very important to my family and myself.

When President Obama pledged to lift the ban on research and allow more funding for it, I was simply ecstatic. Read More »

If you somehow haven’t noticed by now, the Obamas are BUFF. With Michelle baring her toned arms in those sleeveless dresses and Barack going shirtless in Hawaii (yum), there’s no doubt we’ve got a fit couple leading our country. The Obamas get it done – and if they can do it, so can we!

In honor of President’s Day, here are some tips on staying healthy and fit from  the most powerful couple in the world:

Presidential Tip #1: Always schedule time for exercise.
You know it’s important, so schedule it like everything else in your life!  You can always find ways to fit it in – Michelle used to work out at 4:30am and Barack starts most days in the gym.  Not even constant traveling deters him; during his presidential campaign, Obama’s aides “arranged workouts for him in several dozen states. The staff called gyms a few days before his arrival and persuaded them to close late or open early to oblige the candidate’s schedule.”

Gyms on campus are usually open pretty early and late, so we don’t have to worry about making special arrangements (or having assistants to do so)! Still feel like you don’t have time? Even if you’re losing a bit of precious sleep, the benefits of exercising probably outweigh the half hour of sleep you might lose (or less if you work out right!). Obama has the same problem with the “trade off  between sleep and working out,” but insists that a workout makes him feel much better throughout the day. Read More »

As I’m sure anyone with an internet connection, mobile phone, or the ability to read knows: John Mayer is a tremendous douche bag. In a recent interview with Playboy, he reminds America (as if his Twitter feed wasn’t proof enough) why he is the most irritating dbag on the planet. I will reiterate douchebag multiple times in this article because I am fairly certain if you check the ingredients on Summer’s Eve, the primary ingredient is John Mayer.

Okay, sure, John Mayer shouts out his exes, claims his cock is a “white supremacist,” will do anything for attention, makes that nasty face when he sings and just generally looks like a grease ball who invented HPV, but certainly there have to be worse guys out there. And there are.

So allow me to list 10 guys who are even more un-dateable than the totally un-dateable Mr. Mayer. Read More »

Week after week (after week after week…), CollegeCandy and our pal John bring you some of the weirdest, funniest, and saddest things he hears on his college campus. And we know he’s not the only one who hears this stuff. Join the Overheard revolution! Listen in on some weirdos’ conversations and share them in the comments or send ‘em over. You know there’s a lot of funny things to be heard on your campus, so take off those (faux) Burberry ear muffs and tune in.
