The Secret To Why Guys Act The Way They Do
Since I started coaching college women, I feel like I am living in a world of stories about drunken hook-ups, walks of shame and disappointment. Understand, I am not judging AT ALL. Hooking-up is part of the college culture and can be a lot of fun.
Fashion Porn: Winter Coats
Now is probably one of the best times of the year to think about buying a winter coat. It’s before the first I’m-so-freaking-cold-why-haven’t-I-bought-a-new-coat day, but after stores have brought out loads of coats – and even marked some down! If you’re in need of a new coat this year (or just want something that doesn’t say North Face on the shoulder), Thanksgiving is the perfect time to pick one up.

Signs You Need To Get Out More
You’re in the thick of it now. The dreary time after fall foliage and before festive February threats of snow days (that, of course, rarely come to fruition). The sky’s gray, the grass is brown, and it’s really effing cold out there. I know the temptation is there to hide away under your coziest comforter with the first season of The Vampire Diaries on DVD, getting up only to run to the bathroom and occasionally swipe on a little deodorant.
Harry Potter Prep: What You Need to Know Before You Head to the Premiere
On the off chance that not everyone is quite as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am, College Candy has your back. I’m here to provide you with all the vital information you may have forgotten about the world of Harry Potter. I’m here to remind you where we left off and what lies ahead.

The Starting Line: Where is my Chicken Soup?
The air is crisp, the dorms are abuzz with “I’m going home!” and my suitemate and I are—feverish. Literally.
The Know: The Best Scented Candles Around
There is something about this time of year that makes me want to make a hot cup of tea, grab a fresh baked cookie (and by fresh baked I mean a fresh baked cookie from the store, obvs), curl up with a warm blanket a good book/movie/Jersey Shore marathon and light a yummy candle.
Thanksgiving Dinner Will Wreak Havoc on Your Waistline
Ah, Thanksgiving. A time to seriously over-indulge in some delish foods without feeling like a total piggy. A time to eat until you can’t button your pants anymore. A time when the leftovers are better than the original.

The History of Makeup [INFOGRAPHIC]
As many of us rush to get ready in the morning, we usually don’t give our mascara or blush a second thought. Well, beyond avoiding clumpage and blending it in so we don’t look like we’re getting ready for a dance recital. However, makeup has been around for at least 6,000 years (!!) and has played a role in nearly every society.

Sexy Time: “It Doesn’t Really Count”
Most of us have had, or are going to have, less-than-ideal sexual experiences at some point in our lives. The ones that make us shaking our heads and wonder what the hell we were thinking. Whether it be alcohol-induced, teenage stupidity, or just overall ill planning, sometimes these things just happen… even when, looking back, maybe we wish they didn’t.

Show That Flu Who’s Boss!
The flu sucks. There, I’ve gone and said it; plain and simple. It makes you feel gross, look gross and keeps you in bed all day (in a very different way than you’d want). Usually I’d be looking for any excuse to cuddle up with my favorite movie and relapse into a diet of soup and saltines, but not when it’s for weeks on end and makes you feel just plain shoddy.
Ask A Dude: Why Won’t He Say The “L” Word?
Dear Dude, My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year now. We are long distance (he’s about an hour away) and we have ridiculous amounts of fun when we are together and he means the world to me. The problem is this: the feared and revered “L” word (love) has yet to enter the mix.
Casting Call: 8 Classics [GALLERY]
When reading novels, everyone has an idea in their head. But, in light of the recent casting of Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby, we’ve picked a celeb for each novel that would be perfect as the hero or heroine. Pick a book from the list, snuggle up with a mug of hot chocolate, and escape from the world (and the cold) for a few hours by creating your own mental movie with the help of these novels.
