College Q&A: Making Friends in a Single
Question: I’m leaving for college in like 4 weeks and I’m so excited. I am living in a single next year and I couldn’t be happier. I didn’t want to live with someone random and my friends aren’t going to school with me so I went with a single instead. Now that school is getting closer I’m getting worried that might have been a bad idea. Without a roommate how will I meet people?
College: It’s Worth Every Penny
Here at College Candy, we’re huge supporters of the college experience. Whether you’re navigating the sometimes-choppy waters of freshman year or dealing with a horrible roommate, dealing with an LDR or preparing for graduation, we think all these experiences are crucial to shaping post-high school you.

Body Blog: Good Eating Is Skin Deep
live for the summer. In the spring, I count down the days until my last final and I miss it terribly during the fall. I love the way the sun‘s rays touch my skin, I love reading novels lazily on the beach, my morning outdoor runs, and enjoying picnics and BBQs. I love the skin-exposing, brightly colored fashions I get to wear.

The Weekly Ten: Most Memorable Meltdowns
Everybody has a breakdown once in a while. Whether it’s being over-stressed from school or just because they ran out of your favorite ice cream at the grocery store (Starbucks Java Chip Frappucino WAHHHHHH!), it’s normal to melt down every now and then.
I Remember: My Journey through Fatness, Skinniness, and Healthiness
People can be monsters, and I don’t mean in the Lady Gaga sense. They can be downright vicious to others without even realizing the irreversible damage they cause in the process. Though I keep it hidden away in a corner of my mind, I have a lot of memories of this kind of often subtle ruthlessness. I spent most of my young life as “the fat girl.” This is what I remember.
The Morning After: Unsuccessfully Forgetting the Ex
I was in a new college town and my roommate just got her fake ID in the mail. Coincidentally, I had also just told my ex I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I needed to stop thinking about him all the time if we weren’t going to be together. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Intro to Cooking: Peach Cobbler
Is there anything that can compare to a fresh peach on a summer afternoon? The time span of the vernal fruit’s ripeness is quite narrow (compared to more resilient bananas or apples), but right now is peak season for the treat. And it’s more than just a delicious, furry fruit. The peach is a natural, supremely juicy source of fiber, vitamins A and C, potassium, and niacin, a B vitamin that aids digestion, amps HDL (“good”) cholesterol, and helps radiant skin shine through.
CC Beauty Live: The Daytime Smokey Eye + 50th Episode Surprise!
Sometimes daytime makeup can get boring. And sometimes daytime in general (like when you’re at a dull internship) can get really, really boring. And that is when it’s time to make a change (hello, Michael Jackson reference) and add a little more oomph to your look.
One Month Challenge: Giving up Gossiping, Week 4
This week was fairly boring, I will admit. It was mostly spent packing to move into my apartment, finally leaving the country and heading back to the city. Therefore, I haven’t really hung out with people nor had much time to get really involved in any sort of gossip.
Now Showing: Inception
Writing about Inception isn’t comparable to writing reviews about Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. In all honesty, I didn’t know anything about the movie going into it, except that Leonardo DiCaprio starred (and that was enough for me), but I was pleasantly surprised by the film.
Faking It Like a Pro
There are some things you shouldn’t fake but you do anyway. We’ve all done it. I did it last night. Heavy breathing, a little writhing, a moan or two, and you’re got yourself a straight up ‘big O.’ Hey I just wanted to get some sleep, I was too damn tired for a marathon sex sesh.
Saturday Read: The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
feel like I’ve been picking dull books lately, so, like last week with “The Curious Incident…”, I’m taking another highly recommended book for a test drive. My mom has been raving about “The Poisonwood Bible” for years and even though we don’t always see eye-to-eye when it comes to literature, I decided to finally cave.
