The Know: 10 Books You Need to Read Now
With summer here (or officially four days away) we’ve got lots and lots of free time on our hands. And by that I mean we’re cooped up in our parents house and – god help us – we love our parents, we really, REALLY do, but after about 48 hours back from school we are already counting down until Welcome Week.
Beer Pong Gets Serious
Remember those days when you spent your evenings in grimy basements accentuating your cleavage
to throw off your beer pong opponent’s game? Oh, that was last night? Awesome. While it seemed like a total waste of time or just a more exciting way to get really, really drunk, it turns out all that dedication might pay off.

A Father’s Day Gift for Every Type of Dad
Unlike the rest of the world, apparently, we here at CollegeCandy realize there are many more types of dads than just the golf-loving dad or techie dad that are often the only ones represented in the usual generic gift guides. And how do we know that? Because we see them on TV every week.
From PopEater: ‘Jersey Shore’ Getting Halved?
Hold that fist bump, kids! According to TMZ, four members (that’s half) of the ‘Jersey Shore’ cast will not be asked back for the third season of the MTV show.
Sexy Time: Reality Check
Realistic conversations that focus the truth about sex seem to be few and far between. We see crazy sex on TV, read about headboard-ruining sex in books (thanks, Breaking Dawn), and hear our friends share their sometimes-slightly-exaggerated stories. Hell, we even hear the absolute horror stories from guys like Tucker Max. But when do we ever hear what’s actually true? What’s normal, and what’s not?
Candy Dish: It’s Time to Tame That Wild Mane
• Eliminate frizzy hair in under 2 minutes!

• A tomboy’s guide to summer style.
• Wanna try red lipstick? Roxy Olin shares her faves.
• Are Bristol and Levi back together?
• The most disturbing Gaga news we’ve seen yet.
An Open Letter to Kristen Stewart
Dear Kristen Stewart, You’re kinda new to this whole superstar thing. I get that. Sure you did movies before, but ever since Twilight’s wild success, your career has completely taken off. I’ve read a lot of interviews wherein you say odd things (“I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either.”) and you’re more than awkward when people ask you questions.

Ask a Dude: Can I Date My Ex’s Friend?
Hey Dude, I have a question about the supposed unwritten rule that guys can’t go after their friend’s exes. While me and my boyfriend were dating, I became really close with his best friend, developing into a friendship some might call an “emotional affair.”
Trying to Understand the Curvy Girl Backlash
We recently ran a series that everyone here at the CollegeCandy offices thought would be an awesome way to give our usually pro-body-acceptance readers a self-esteem boost. But instead Celebrating Celebrity “Flaws” turned into a body-bashing he-man-woman-hater’s club. We didn’t see that coming.
In Our Makeup Bag: e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip
What it is: e.l.f. Shimmering Facial Whip in Spotlight
Why this should be in your bag: Even though highlighters can be tricky, when done right they just make you GLOW! I’ve only recently jumped into the world of highlighters, but I can honestly say that they make a difference.
Would You Rather…
Would You Rather there be a beer that had zero calories or a beer that didn’t give you a hangover the next day?
Things to Consider: Beer gut, how many calories are in a $1 pitcher, the way you feel at 9am on Sunday morning.
To Defriend or Not To Defriend, That is the Question
We’ve all been there. You break up with your boyfriend, fight with your Bio lab partner, resent your freshman year roommate for getting a better internship than you. In a booze-fueled rage you sit at your computer at 2am going through Facebook, wanting so badly to cut these people off altogether.
I Love Your Style: Lisa Bonet
Before the days of dating the super delicious Jason Momoa, or the days before she birthed the naturally stylish daughter Zoe with her then-husband LENNY KRAVITZ (her taste in men is impeccable to say the least), Lisa Bonet was simply Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show.
Candy Dish: Sucks to Be Jon Gosselin
• And not just because he’s Jon Gosselin….
• Bring on the shine with these gorge metallic bags.
• Show us your abs, Taylor Lautner. SHOW US!
• It’s all about the bright and beautiful this summer.
• What makes that boy so irresistible? Find out.
• Is Kevin Costner going to clean up this oil mess?
The Hills: Ryan Cabrera Out, Justin Bobby In
One of my biggest issues with The Hills is that all these kids have a ton of money and do nothing all day. Wait, that’s not where I meant to go with this. I mean, yes, that is a big issue, but not my point. My other biggest issue with The Hills is that the producers make ridiculous things happen and never really fully develop them.
Web Spy: Dads on Vacation
Ah, summer. There’s something about this time of year that brings back memories of the beach, county fairs, baseball, and, of course, family vacations. Although at times, my family drove me crazy on those trips and I’d much rather have been anywhere else than with them, there are still tons of great memories of all those long drives.
