What Your Age Says About Your Facebook Wall Posts [GALLERY]

Everyone has their own Facebook style. Are you a commenter?? A tagger? A constant Facebook status updater? Or the all-time best, a chronic Facebook wall poster?

Everyone likes a quality wall post. In this day and age of Facebook driving you crazy, a funny wall post is the one thing that can remind you why you like it so much. And check it compulsively. From your computer…and phone….and friend’s computers and phones. But not everyone posts in the same way. In fact, we’ve done some totally scientific research and discovered the way people use the Facebook Wall differs by age. So what does your age say about your habits? Read More »


Single Girl Society: Stand By Your Single Sisters

In the last year, it seems as though being single has been my specialty. While flings and hookups have come and gone (pun intended) and dates have left me with some less than desirable memories, my current single status has remained loyally by my side. I’ve learned a lot in the past year and I’ve discovered that single girls around the world are all in the same fabulous pair of shoes.

So if you’re sick of sitting at a table for one, eating a meal portioned for two, I cordially invite you to join The Single Girl Society, where being single is more than status, it’s a lifestyle. Of course, with everything in life, the single girl lifestyle comes with rules and I’ve picked up quite a few along the way. So kick back, grab a drink and let the lessons I’ve learned serve as your very own roadmap to transitioning to and enduring the single life

So it’s been a month and half since you’re best friend got dumped (in the douchiest way possible) and she’s still going on and on about how she’s “totally over it even though his new girl looks like a little too much like Shaun White” and you’re not sure how much longer you can stand to hear her relationship woes. We’ve all been there, thinking to ourselves, “Well if you’re so over it, why are we still talking about it?”

The answer is simple. She’s not over it. But you sure as hell are. So what’s a girl to do when her wingwoman’s stuck in a rut?

Lesson 9: Stand By Your Single Sisters

Look, I know it’s cheesy but as single ladies, we’re only as good as the girls we surround ourselves with and when one of us is down, we’re all down.

Of course it gets frustrating sometimes, watching your formally single and fabulous bestie go from taking names (and numbers) and kicking ass to sullen and sunken into a sofa watching “The Notebook” and screaming at Rachel McAdams to “get a job and forget men already!” (True story.)

Sometimes the single life knocks us down and out but as single soldiers, it’s our job to stand by our friends and support them, even if that means having the hear Taylor Swift ballads pump through your apartment on repeat. The post-breakup version of your girlfriend needs you now more than ever because you love her even if her ex didn’t. Right now it’s her in tears but someday it will be you (if it hasn’t happened already). Read More »


What’s The Worst Hangover Advice You’ve Ever Gotten?

The  only thing worse than a horrible hangover is horrible hangover advice. Because the last thing you need when your head is pounding and you’re leaning over the toilet is someone telling you to chug 8 egg yolks, spin around backwards, and brush your hair 17 times.

So we threw the question out to our Facebook fans and asked them for the worst hangover advice they ever gotten. And it was pretty bad.

Here are our five faves: Read More »


9 Believeable Things That Happen When You Laugh Too Hard

I think it’s pretty obvious that Charlie Sheen has a problem. And that problem is his PR team. I mean the guys can’t even come up with a semi-realistic excuse for why Charlie Sheen was in the hospital yesterday. They’re claiming that he suffered a hernia from, wait for it, laughing too hard at the TV.

I’m sorry. If they’re going to just make stuff up, they might as well have more fun with it. Like “Charlie Sheen was doing yoga when a unicorn charged into his room and stabbed him in the stomach while the tooth fairy live-blogged the entire event.”

So just in case anyone out there actually believes Charlie Sheen had to go to the hospital from laughing too hard, we thought we would remind you what really happens when you laugh too hard at the TV:

1. You pee your pants.

2. You change the channel to Two and a Half Men to get a hold of your laughter.

3. You ROTF.

4. You choke on something you’re eating, make your roommate give you the Heimlich, and remember this is why you will never live alone.

CollegeCandy’s Guide to Online Shopping

The internet provides us ladies with a vast array of possibilities. It allows us to catch up on our favorite television shows, Google important questions we can’t get out of our head, and Facebook stalk out ex-boyfriends all from the comfort of our bed. To put it simply; it’s fabulous. But probably the most fabulous thing about the internet  is the unlimited shopping. It’s a mall that never closes.

So many ways to find the perfect pair of boots! Sites created just to help you find the best necklace! Blogs determined to make you trendy!

I’m a bit of an expert in this whole online shopping area, so in an effort to share my wisdom with you I’ve listed my top five shopping sites. You’re welcome.

1. Lulus.com. Because these are designers you won’t know. These are pieces you won’t have seen before.  Lulu’s features designers from all around the world and only snags a few of each piece. So if you want an item no one else will be wearing, this is where you should be shopping. And if you really want a super unique piece, check out their vintage collection. They’ve got it all from jumpsuits to bell bottoms — at prices that won’t break the bank.

The best part? The atmosphere of the entire website. It’s warm and welcoming and so girly you just can’t help but giggle. From the awesome names of their ensembles to the cute descriptions that accompany them, Lulu’s feels like more than just a shopping site; it’s a shopping experience. And in my opinion, it’s one no girl should go without.

Facebook is Changing the World: One Revolution at a Time

As you sit reading this article, clicking away on your computer — updating your status, re-tweeting the oh-so hilarious #whitegrlproblems, you have to admit that you’ve been thrust, full force, into the digital age. Today’s world is a digital and international one, where you can send messages across the world and receive an instantaneous response. (You study abroad-ers know how valuable that is!)

And it’s changing everything.

Social networking sites, including Facebook and Twitter, have received a lot of international attention for their impact in the current political protests, specifically in the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.

The freedom we take for granted is currently under siege in Egypt, where the Internet was recently blocked by government forces in an attempt to restrict communication among protesters who have been incredibly successful in orchestrating political movements.

President Hosni Mubarak is at the center of the controversy for leading a 30-year-old oppressive government marked with widespread unemployment and poverty. Instead of sitting idly by and watching their future crumble, today’s generation of internet-savvy and politically aware young people have taken power into their own hands, organizing riots and protesting the authoritarian and oppressive political party.

Paris Fashion Week: Couture Designers Bring on the Crazy [GALLERY]

While Rachel Zoe won’t be going bananas at New York Fashion Week until February, our croissant eating friends spent this past week celebrating Haute Couture fashion in Paris. The world’s best designers dressed the world’s skinniest women in their hand-sewn wears as celebrities, stylists and fashion enthusiasts drooled from their seats.

From where I’m sitting though, it all looked like a whole lot of crazy.

I understand that fashion is completely subjective, but these Haute Couture designs seem like something that would worry Tim Gun and have Michael Kors shaking his overly tanned head. Giant ruffles? Boxy shapes? All those nip slips? This is the best these fashion legacies have to offer? And we’re supposed to love it?

I’m sure I’m supposed to be so excited that I just can’t hide it, but if this is the direction fashion is going, I’m so….scared.

Check out the craziest of the crazy of Paris Fashion Week below. Read More »
