I’ve discovered one of the rules of modern-day television: that every show must have one female character that absolutely captivates everyone.  This female has the inexplicable ability to make every man fall in love with her.  She can make a guy turn on his best friend.  She can put a guy through hell and still have come back to grovel at her feet.  Gossip Girl has Serena Van Der Woodsen.  90210 has Erin Silver.  Greek has Casey Cartwright.  The Vampire Diaries has….well, you get the picture.

In the context of this rule, Glee clearly “has” Quinn Fabray.  Even though she’s essentially pretty boring, displays increasingly rare moments of kindness, and has a really friggin’ annoying voice, she manages to make all the FIIINNNNNEEE men of Glee trip all over their dancin’ feet.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she’s insanely beautiful, but I have a feeling it has more to do with the fact that she’s caught in a state of perpetual romantic ambiguity.  Apparently that drives men wild.

Anyway, Quinn’s position hasn’t changed since last week.  She’s still caught in limbo somewhere between Finn-land and Sam-oa.   Apparently Sam caught on to her cheating on him Finny Bear, but Quinn managed to cover her ass with – what else? – an absolutely absurd lie.  This time it had nothing to do with getting pregnant in a hot tub; it was all about catching mono after saving Finn from a gumball-induced death.   Sam believed her, not because he’s dumb (riiiighhhtt) but because he himself has almost choked on a gumball. (I have to wonder: just how many gumballs could he fit in that massive mouth?  I’m thinking it would take more than just one to do the trick.)  So Sam decides to win back his woman the old-fashioned way: with some rock n’ roll (read: teeny bopper pop.)  That’s right, ladies:  Sam Evans is channeling Justin Bieber.

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 Stingy Campus, BlogLovin and Exercise TV) 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.]

One of the first things that crosses my mind after I finish reading a book (after the initial sadness that the book is over) is what I should read next. However, I’ve recently discovered a site that takes all the guesswork out of finding new books to read: Any New Books?, a free service that notifies you of new book releases that fit your interests.

To get started using this service, simply provide your e-mail address and select the categories that interest you from a list of 42 subjects (such as self-help, history, science fiction, and practically anything else you can imagine). That’s it! You’ll now receive a weekly e-mail of new book releases for each topic you select (so if you select five topics, you’ll get five separate e-mails). Each e-mail includes the publishing information for each book and a link to purchase the book online. Read More »

So yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Not that you needed that (brutal) reminder; the aisles at CVS said it all. If you were one of the lucky few of us (not me) that were whisked away on some romantic fairytale-like evening… well, good for you. But I don’t wanna hear about it.

Romantic holidays and birthdays are literally zero fun around the sorority house. When you’re single, it seems like everyone else (all 60 of them!) have serious significant others. And for some reason, they’re all Prince Charmings who bring the girls flower and chocolates and jewelry before taking them out to the fancy on-campus restaurants I only get to enjoy when my parents are in town.

Every year, like clockwork, I ask for all the juicy deets about what’s on their night’s agenda, but secretly I’m either a) vomiting inside or b) weeping green tears of jealously. And that combo ain’t pretty. Trust me.

Don’t get me wrong, obvi I’m happy for them, but seriously… Where the hell is my Prince Charming?! (Hell, I’ll even take Prince Not-A-Doucebag!) Read More »

The groundhog Puxatony Phil may have predicted that Spring is right around the corner, but it doesn’t look like winter’s ready to give up just yet. With freezing temps and snowstorms still affecting most of the country, it can be hard to believe that there’s an end in sight.

Beat those winter blues by brightening your wardrobe! Brightly colored handbags are going to be big this Spring, but they’re also perfect for winter. Set against the gray and gloomy weather, colorful handbags stand out and look even more cheerful than they do in the warmer months. Here are a few budget-friendly options — each is $20 or less!

Is it still pro-life when the legislation isn’t actually supporting life?

That’s what our friends over at Feministing are asking as they discuss a proposed law in South Dakota that would expand the definition of  ”justifiable murder” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus. Who would that include exactly, you ask?  That might be the doctor willing to perform the abortion or maybe even the woman that wants to have the abortion, herself.

Does anyone else find that just the slightest bit contradictory? It’s one thing to oppose abortion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It’s something else entirely to legalize and justify the killing of a man or woman willing to perform an abortion. It’s extreme, irrational and just a little bit absurd.

As of now the bill has passed out of a committee with a nine to three vote and is expected to face a floor vote soon.

Click here to read all about what  Feministing is calling “anti-choice legislation taken to it’s extreme,” then share your thoughts/feelings/concerns below.

[He Said/She Said is a new series designed to help all our wonderfully confused readers figure out what he’s really thinking. So every week we’ll be throwing out a topic for debate…and unlike our fave dude, these guys won’t be sugar coating anything for you. But before you jump into their heads (which seriously will make you feel like you need to shower), check out what we think!]

For many students, college, like Las Vegas, is the land of indulgence. From the all-you-can-eat buffets in the cafeteria to the endless kegs at house parties, if you want something, you got it. Here. Now. Until you burst (or barf).

And that goes for hooking up, too. Never again in our lives will we be in a place brimming with single and ready to mingle people, oftentimes fueled by keg beer and cheap vodka. If you wanna get some, you don’t need to go far. In fact, if you’re lucky, you don’t even need to leave your dorm/apartment building/street.

Yes, I’m talking about dormcest (or whatever you call it when you hook up with your next door neighbor). Read More »

Don't worry. Yours will be a lot cleaner than this one!

Yes, it’s true. It’s also really hard for us to say that because we’ve wanted one for months and we’re not eligible to win this here contest. Sobfest.

Anyways, here’s the deal. Our friends at Jeep (no, they won’t give us a car, either. UGH.) really love CollegeCandy and to prove that to you, they reached out to us and asked us if they could work with us to give you an iPad. Nice peeps, right?

So here’s what you gotta do to enter. And it’s gonna get dirty.

1. Visit Jeep’s Facebook page, where you’ll be getting muddy.

2. Upload a picture of yourself into their Mud U application.

3. Sling, wipe and rub some mud on that beautiful mug of yours. Read More »

Questioninski?! Answerskaya. Ask TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com

Dear Tuffy Luv,
I moved for my senior year of high school and at the beginning had a little trouble making friends because it’s a small town, everyone knows everyone, etc. Finally, I did start making some, and one of the first ones was this girl, Peggy. Peggy is one of those people who is overly nice to everyone, so it really wasn’t surprising she was one of the first people to approach me.

So now it’s halfway through the year and I’m still friends with Peggy, except I’ve realized I don’t like her. At all. I found out the reason she’s so nice to everyone is because it’s one of her “Christian Values,” along with being extremely judgmental. She thinks she is a step above everyone else, and it is really getting to me. And now prom is coming up and she’s laid out this whole plan expecting me and whoever I go with to go along with it, and I don’t want to. But at the same time, I don’t want to be completely rude to one of the first friends I had. She isn’t the kind of person I really want in my life, but I put in a lot of time in the friendship earlier on because as a new senior I really wasn’t in a position to turn down friends and she seemed perfectly nice at the time!

So Tuffy, what should I do? Should I confront her or stick it out for the school year? We’re going to different colleges so there wouldn’t be any need to see her again. But if I do stick it out for the year I probably won’t be able to help sending her bad vibes so she might think I’m a jerk either way.

HELP!
Sincerely,
Friends? Read More »
