Great news! We’re looking for interns for the 2010 Winter/Spring semester. The ideal candidate is passionate about writing, responsible, witty, knowledgeable of all things pop culture, a lover of all things dessert, and has a great understanding of deadlines. Oh and it doesn’t hurt if you’re a huge College Candy fan…
Intern responsibilities include writing (lots of it!), research and various tasks in marketing. This is NO boring internship; you will not be getting or making coffee (unless it’s for yourself). Interns will walk away with lips galore, great stories and an increased knowledge of writing for the web. The position is unpaid but college credit can be earned — and you can work from your dorm room in your sweats 1 – 2 days a week.
If you’re interested in having a great internship next semester, e-mail a resume, cover letter and original writing sample to submissions (at) collegecandy.com. For the writing sample, take a look at some of the blogs on here, and whip up a sample that you think would fit in well on the site. Topic and length don’t matter –we just want to get a feel for your writing in relation to our tone and style.
Apply today if you want to be considered for the coolest internship in the entire world…or you just want something totally solid on your resume. Either way, apply.
Is it just me or is there another “revolutionary” new makeup product introduced every freaking day?! Just walking into Ulta or Sephora (or even Walgreens!) sends many chicas into fits of hysteria, reaching for the nearest brown bag to regulate their breathing. It’s all so overwhelming.
So how can you know which product – among the sea of thousands – is the best? Which does what you need it to do? Which ones are worth the extra money? Let me help. I don’t know every beauty product out there, but I’ve tested a lot of them and I’ll let you know which are worth the money and which are not.
What it is: Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara
Why this should be in your bag
Mascara is such a makeup necessity. In my opinion, it makes the biggest difference out of all makeup products. Long, lush lashes are such a girly feature and they really make everyone look prettier. However, I’m picky with my mascara. I find lots of brands fill theirs with so many chemicals that either my lashes get “burnt” off or they clump together like mad. I’m fairly faithful to my mascara brand, but will never say no to trying another out!
Too Faced Lashgasm is described as a “voluptuous, fluffing mascara.” It’s designed to give you big, volume-filled lashes and uses a special flexi-firm brush to do so. It’s actually pretty cool – this brush literally sticks to your lashes, making sure every last one gets a good coat!
How to use it
Another often overlooked beauty product is the eyelash curler. Seriously, an absolute god-send. If you don’t have one, stop reading (okay, finish reading, I know you can’t resist) and GO GET ONE! It doesn’t have to be too pricey, Revlon makes decent ones for under 10 bucks. Read More »
If he spends one more minute telling me to go to med school....
A special thanks to our nerdy yet totally helpful friends at Hack College for providing us with this insightful post. Check ‘em out for all your techy needs. They’re like the nerdy boyfriend you never had but always needed.
Students are gearing up to head home for Thanksgiving and winter breaks, and that means getting back into the swing of life with family–including explaining what you’re doing at school to your parents’ friends and your extended family. For some people (engineering majors and pre-med people), this is not so bad! For others, it can be a little stressful. Here’s how to handle some of the most common less-than-positive results.
“So you’re planning to go to law school?” or “A future teacher, I see!” – This one tends to be tossed at Political Science majors (and liberal arts majors in general) by people who see law school/teaching as a backup plan. This can be frustrating for people who actually do want to be lawyers or teachers, since it implies they’re following a predictable path, and for people who are interested in other things (for instance, being the next Nate Silver) it’s equally irritating. It’s best to pick your battles–if it’s someone you’re only going to see once, laugh and say, “Anything’s possible!” before finding some more eggnog.
For family members and people who will be interacting with you when you finish school, a little more explanation can be good. If you are, say yes and give a short summary of what kind of law you want to do or why you want to become a teacher. If not, something like, “Actually, no. But I am planning to try for the Peace Corps!” will usually do the trick. You want to make the point that there are other career paths than law school or teaching that you can follow. Don’t stress about one-off encounters too much, though–over the holidays it’s best to save your energies for people who you’ll be seeing again. Read More »
The following is a guest post by professional funny man and CollegeCandy friend, Aaron Karo. Read, laugh, learn a few things.
I’m often referred to as a “guy’s guy.” I like drinking and sports and hanging with the fellas. My third book, which is about being single when all your friends are couples, is entitled I’m Having More Fun Than You and features me on the cover with five models. This Friday, November 19th, Comedy Central is premiering my first one-hour stand-up special, AARON KARO: THE REST IS HISTORY (with an album by the same name dropping November 20th). My show is all about the glory of bachelorhood and sleeping around. You know, guy stuff. But I’m going to let you in on a little secret: the majority of my fans are female.
That’s right, roughly 65-70% of my audience members and mailing list subscribers are girls. Why? Because I tell it like it is. I don’t pull punches. I reveal what’s really going on inside the pea-size brain of the common man. And so that’s what I’m going to do today: drop a little knowledge for you, the very lovely readers of CollegeCandy. Here’s what’s gonna happen. First, read my Top Ten Misconceptions About Guys. Then, watch my Comedy Central Special (November 19th) and buy my album (November 20th). After all that, you’ll be prepared for anything. Here we go…
Top Ten Misconceptions About Guys, by Aaron Karo
1. We’re beer experts.
You know when you walk into one of those bars that has, like, six hundred beers on tap and your boyfriend squints his eyes while he reviews them all and nods knowingly as the bartender rattles of a list of vaguely German-sounding ales until he confidently choose one? He has no f**king clue what he’s talking about. He’s just trying to impress you and hopes what he picked tastes like Coors Light.
2. We’re knowledgeable about your menstrual cycle.
In order to fend off his advances, a girl once told my buddy she had her period three different times within a month. It actually worked. Read More »
[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like "who the hell are you and why are you so beautiful" Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) are spending $5,000 on an ensemble you don’t have to.]
There’s no way I could continue to write a fashion column without highlighting Rihanna. This girl is one of the most eclectic celebrities out there. One day, the paparazzi snaps photos of her in suspenders and harem pants; the next, you could easily see her in a body-contouring mini-dress with 6-inch stilettos…going out to lunch.
Rihanna attained her fashionista status by being completely and utterly balls to the walls…how can you not love it?
However, the outfit I’m re-creating today is actually one of Rihanna’s tamer looks, because though you, CollegeCandy reader, are fabulous, you are bound to certain rules of fashion that do not apply to celebrities. Read: you can’t really pull this off for class. But it’s still hot, not just in its own right, but relative to that tragic gaggle of girls strutting around campus thinking Uggs, leggings, and Northface = high fashion. Read More »
Look at Kurt! And Puck! And Mercedes!
It’s official:
Ryan Murphy is obsessed with bringing high profile guest stars onto his show. And I can’t say I’m too happy about this as it cuts into Lea Michele’s (aka Rachel Barry) screen-time. You see, I happen to love Rachel Barry a little more than her boyfriend Finn does and a little less than she loves herself. And that’s a lot.
But I digress: this week’s superstar of the moment, none other than Gwenyth Palthrow, was so much more charming than I expected, not to mention a vehicle for an important life lesson.
The concept of listening to others was a big theme this week. When an epidemic hits McKinley, (you have to love Glee for giving the common cold the same kind of treatment that most shows would give AIDS) two faculty members are forced to stay away from the school: Principal Figgins and Mr. Schuester. Their shoes are filled by Sue Sylvester and newcomer Holly Holiday, respectively. Sure it seems like the only thing these two women share is blonde hair – one is large and incomparably snarky, the other delicate and chipper – but they both succeed in their new positions, and for essentially the reason: both listen to the people over whom they reign, and do whatever they can to give them what they want.

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, Facebook…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like FashionStake, Philo, and Evernote) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]
Going to the movies has always been a favorite pastime of mine. It was the first thing my parents ever let me do with my friends without them, and from then on it’s been my go-to choice of activity for all those nights when no one can decide what to do.
However, the rising cost of tickets in past few years has turned what used to be a typical Friday night activity into more of a special-occasion-only event. Movie tickets can cost up to about $15 these days, which is way more than most college students can afford to shell out on a weekly basis (and many of the theaters near me don’t even offer student discounts anymore–seriously, what’s up with that?).
Just when I was getting used to the idea of rarely going out to the movies (except for Harry Potter, of course), I heard about Gofobo. Read More »
Admit it – even if you are in a sorority, you’ve wondered if Greek TV shows are anything like real Greek life. But first off, it goes without saying that whether you are Greek or not, if you have never seen an episode of “GREEK” then you haven’t lived. If for some reason you are living under a rock and have yet to indulge in this amazing show, stop reading immediately, go watch a few episodes online, then come back and read! (P.S. Don’t tell your friends you’ve never seen “GREEK”; they’ll shun you.)
Moving on.
After every episode I find myself more and more emotionally attached to the characters. (Let’s face it, I want to be Casey Cartwright and live happily ever after with Evan Chambers.) I think the reason why myself and thousands of other sorority girls are addicted to “GREEK” is partially because it is so true. From the parties, to frat boy break-ups, to in-house sorority drama, the show covers it all. We all love the show because it is relatable and probably the most realistic portrayal of sorority life in the media. Unlike Legally Blonde or Sorority Boys, the issues going on with Ashleigh and Casey in ZBZ are ones that we as sorority girls face every day. And it’s fun watching someone else deal with it.
