So…Miley Cyrus doesn’t like Rebecca Black. Not even a little bit. And here’s why.

But I have to wonder. I mean, isn’t that a little bit like the pot calling the kettle…well, Black? They’re both teen pop stars (or soon to be pop stars). They both appeal to a younger audience. They’re both relatively annoying super cool. But yet Miley doesn’t like the girl that has been trending on Twitter for weeks. And you want to know why?

Because it was too easy for her to get famous. Miley doesn’t think someone should be able to put up a video on YouTube and then end up with a hit single and a tour. Um, hello Miley, have you not met Justin Bieber? That’s exactly how he was discovered/got a 3D IMAX movie. So why are you singling out the newest teen queen? Why should it matter how Rebecca Black made it big? Read More »

Fashion is always repeating itself (hence why I hate throwing things away), and the decade we’ll be seeing again in a big way this year? The ’70s! But have no fear, it’s not quite your parents’ disco fever, white leisure suit, platform-shoes-with-fish-in-the-heels 1970s. The updated, 21st century take on ’70s fashion is much sexier…and with much better fabrics. (See ya never, polyester!)

There are so many ways to channel the disco era without feeling like an extra from Saturday Night Fever. The key is opting for one or two ’70s-inspired pieces, and not an entire outfit, to keep your look modern.

Ready to travel back in time?

Wide-legged pants are big (literally) this year. Many of them have a higher raise, which is a flattering way to disguise any of that freshman 15 (or Top Chef 20) you may have acquired recently. They also look hot with a shirt tucked in. Pretty blouses with billowy sleeves and pretty patterns are another way to incorporate the ’70s trend into your wardrobe. And if you want to show a lot of skin, hot pants are the way to go. Yes, ladies, they’re back, and, surprisingly, quite adorable! (Editor’s Note: just in case you need it, here are some good workouts to get your legs ready for ‘em.)

So let’s get in our fashion DeLorean and head back to the ’70s. Here are 15 pieces to get you started. Read More »

Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year: April Fools’ day. Being a prank enthusiast, I felt it necessary to help all CollegeCandy readers make the most of it. And by ‘most of it’ I mean ‘prank the hell out of someone you know and love.’

If you want to get in on the pranking fun, it’s important to remember a few key rules:

1. Not every prank is going to work. Like that time I tried to douse my roommate in shaving cream…and ended up having to spend the whole day cleaning our dorm room. Woops?
2. Be careful who you prank. Best friend? Good idea. Internship boss who could make or break your future career? Not so much.
3. Have fun with it. Because there’s nothing more fun than a killer prank.

Stumped for the perfect prank? Here are 10 fantastic ideas to inspire you. And if you’ve already got the awesomest prank in mind, these will still make you LOL till you ROTFL. ZOMG!

I wonder how long it took to unwrap that mess!

Lesson Learned: Don’t let your friends become friends with your roommate.

Creepy, yet hysterical.

Everyone knows never to pass out with your shoes on!

So simple, yet so amazing.

Best. Idea. Ever.

I love watching guys scream like 11-year-old girls at a Bieber concert.

Never mess with college boys with too much time on their hands. And always be prepared for flying balls.

Oh, Jim!

File this one under: things I wish I had done

Whether you’re graduating this spring or you’re hunting for a summer internship, you’re probably stressed about acing your interviews. To help alleviate some of that stress, we reached out to the experts from Excelle and asked them for their tips on making a great first impression. Check back every Thursday for more helpful career tips and articles!

Too many job seekers stumble through interviews as if the questions are coming out of left field. But many interview questions are to be expected. Study this list and plan your answers ahead of time so you’ll be ready to deliver them with confidence.

1. What Are Your Weaknesses?

This is the most dreaded question of all. Handle it by minimizing your weakness and emphasizing your strengths. Stay away from personal qualities and concentrate on professional traits: “I am always working on improving my communication skills to be a more effective presenter. I recently joined Toastmasters, which I find very helpful.”

2. Why Should We Hire You?

Summarize your experiences: “With five years’ experience working in the financial industry and my proven record of saving the company money, I could make a big difference in your company. I’m confident I would be a great addition to your team.”

3. Why Do You Want to Work Here?

The interviewer is listening for an answer that indicates you’ve given this some thought and are not sending out resumes just because there is an opening. For example, “I’ve selected key companies whose mission statements are in line with my values, where I know I could be excited about what the company does, and this company is very high on my list of desirable choices.” Read More »

I wear push-up bras and high heels. I go gaga for lip gloss and lipstick, nail polish, and heavy eye-make up . And I’m not even going to lie, I’m a sucker for pouty boys that call me ma’am. But besides my affinity for sundresses, pearls, and men in ties, I’m a feminist. In fact, I’ve always considered myself to be one. But despite my own declaration in the fight for gender equality, this doesn’t seem possible to people.

“How can you be a feminist?” I’m asked all the time. “Do you even know what that means?”

While feminism can mean different things to different people, I’ve often felt like I didn’t fit the mold — like I wasn’t the ideal. Like I couldn’t claim it. And then it hit me: Feminism can be whatever you need it to be. And sometimes, what you need it to be will change from time to time.

This powerful realization hit me as an 18-year-old young woman sitting in on my first Women’s Studies class at a small, private, all-women university. This moment of feminist clarity has always stuck with me, and now as a 23-year-old post-grad, I am constantly revisiting feminism and its applicability in my ever changing life. Although feminism, even in 2011, often still sounds like a dirty word with a negative connotation, I’m constantly surprised at the way feminism finds itself in my day to day life — it really does come in all shapes, sizes, issues, prospects, and in all kinds of different people. And despite being so diverse and so varying from time to time, I’m still relieved that I can make feminism something all my own.

It’s SAT season and you know what that means: high school juniors are buckling down and getting ready to take “the most important test of their lives,” the test that will determine whether or not they get into college, the test that will supposedly predict how well they will do there. Now, I don’t know about you ladies, but as a seasoned college student I have to say I think that is a load of ridiculous. I mean vocabulary and problem solving and knowing who the Kardashians are is all well and good, but is it really an accurate portrayal of how a student will do in college?

No. It’s most definitely not.

So we thought we’d help College Board and all those other important SAT people out by offering them a few alternative SAT questions. Real life questions, the kind of questions that college students may encounter on any give college day…

1. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila…

(A) Four (B) Floor (C) Bed (D) Death

2. Beer goggles is a commonly used college expression. Explain the meaning of this phrase and then use it in a sentence.

3. A walk of shame is:

(A) Walking into class after said class has started (B) Walking home during the early hours of the morning in last night’s clothes after spending said night in with a guy (C) Tripping while walking in high heels

4. A steak dinner is to real life as ____ is to college life.

(A) cafeteria food (B) Ramen noodles (C) Chef Boyardee

Every girl needs a good purse (or 12). Whether you’re going for groceries or running from class to class, they are simply essential for holding all your, uh, essentials. Each week, I’m going to show you a fashionable, yet functional purse for the college crowd and let you know why you absolutely need it! I apologize ahead of time to your bank account.

As a blogger, I hold a special place in my heart for my camera. It allows me to capture all the wonderful things I’m blogging about and share them with the world! That being said, I’ve never had a proper camera bag; I just kind of toss my digi into my purse when I’m on the go or, even nerdier, sport it around my neck! I know – bad blogger! My main issue with camera bags is that they look like camera bags: stiff, boring and usually made of something cheap like nylon. Carrying around a traditional camera bag would destroy my look!

And that general sentiment is exactly what led to the creation of THEIT!

Nicole Farjardo came up with the idea for THEIT while working as a international flight attendant. She had the same issues as me: she wanted to carry around her heavy-duty camera to capture all the great sights she got to see, but couldn’t find a fashionable camera bag. So she created one herself. It’s really a simple concept, to make a camera bag stylish, but since launching THEIT last year, it already it has become something of a sensation! Read More »

Miley needs to get off her high horse

Two days ago, I went to my university’s health center. Now, usually I completely disregard any information I get at the health center on the grounds of either A) I have heard that every year since I first took sex ed in 7th grade, or B) Those ‘doctors’ are full of ish.

But this time, by the luck of the draw, I happened to get a check-up from someone that (gasp!) actually knew what they were talking about. I’m not saying you should listen to this doctor (nurse practitioner, if you want to get technical) instead of your own, but these are a few little known facts I picked up that I thought I would share.

Beware, as these tidbits may scare you away from sex for life (or at least for the night).

1. In order for your birth control to be 99.7% effective, you must take it every day within 30 minutes of the same time.
Apparently, the hormones that make you temporarily infertile only work for 24 straight hours. According to Susan (the nurse practitioner), you should be okay if you miss the time by 1 to 2 hours. If you miss more than that, however, you should use condoms for at least a week. Read More »
