College Candy Talks With A Biggest Loser Contestant
Every Tuesday night – rain or snow, hell or hangover – I grab my things and walk over to my best friend’s house. Immediately upon arrival, I grab the ice cream sundae she’s expertly prepared and curl up under my favorite blanket on her couch.
5 Easy Ways to Be a Good Friend
Friends are important. They’re there for you, no matter what. They’re there to make you laugh. They’re there to let you cry. They’re there for <a href="http://collegecandy.com/2010/10/18/the-8-traits-of-a-great-wingwoman/">nights out</a> and nights in and cram sessions and outfit emergencies. They let you rant about boys and books and bars and beer.

Saturday Read: Clockwork Angel, by Cassandra Clare
“Clockwork Angel” by Cassandra Clare is the first in her new trilogy, titled “The Infernal Devices.” However, the setting and paranormal world that she incorporates into this novel is actually from her first trilogy “The Mortal Instruments.” I’ve never read any of her work before, but apparently fans will recognize family names from the original books in this new one and also some characters.
The Best 4 Lip Products You Will Ever Buy
I have an obsession with all things lips: lip buffer, lip gloss, lipstick, lip balm, Ms. Lippy… This obsession has resulted in me trying just about any kind of product I can get my hands (or should I say my lips) on. After spending money on a lot of products that don’t live up to their promise, I can attest that the following four are definitely some of the best products on the market.
To Blog or Not To Blog?
We live in a social media obsessed world. There’s Facebook, Myspace, (although I wonder if anyone actually still uses it), Twitter, and many blogging platforms such as Tumblr, Wordpress, and Blogger. Although we upload our pictures to Flickr and Facebook all the time or write about our weekend experiences in personal blogs, there could be a possible downside to all of this internet exposure?
The Cutest (and Creepiest) College Mascots [GALLERY]
College mascots have always been the most identifiable symbol of school spirit, so it makes a lot of sense to choose wisely. I mean, do you really want to be walking around with an ugly/creepy/unoriginal mascot emblazoned across the front of your overpriced college sweatshirt?
Budget Stylista: Rock the LRD [GALLERY]
It’s holiday time and at holiday time the LBD goes out the window (OK, not out the window. What a waste! More like to the back of the closet; we all know the LBD will be back by NYE) and in it’s place: The LRD (the Little Red Dress).

WTF Friday: Mean Girls 2
So yeah. This is happening. One of the greatest movies of our generation (and of LiLo’s career), Mean Girls, is getting a straight-to-DVD sequel.
Friday Faves: Movie Myths About Sex
Whether we realize it or not, we all pick up subtle things from movies that we expect to find in our actual lives. And while I’m willing to overlook some of the media’s follies (like the fact that people in any foreign country all speak English), some of their depictions of sex are just. so. wrong.
Duke It Out: Cyber Spying
Who among us has never Facebook stalked? Anyone? Seriously, anyone? It’s easy and mostly harmless, so we all do it a little bit sometimes to see how much less awesome your ex’s new girlfriend is than you, or to find out if that cutie in you American Lit class is single (and into women). It’s not a big deal, right? But when does it cross the line?
Put This on Your iPod: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
The temperature is finally starting to drop here in Texas so to say TTFN to those hot days by the pool, I thought I would kick things off with my favorite album of the summer: Plastic Beach.
An Open Letter of Gratitude
Dear everyone who has made this semester possible, In light of all the Thanksgiving warm-and-fuzzies people are exchanging, I would like to take a moment and thank you for helping me strive for my goals, both academic and otherwise, and assisting me in my greatest endeavors.
Maxim Says The Darndest Things: December Edition
It’s that time of month again; for me to buy the magazine I hate after I consume the eighty pieces of pie (with a side of whipped cream) because I’ve browsed the pages full of cute blondes wearing Aerie panties, faux-fur hats, all while riding crotch rockets. Common Maxim, put some clothes on these ladies, I can see their midriff.
