How to purge your closet

With tons of social media start-ups to stumble upon and check into, and brand new Apple products popping up left and right, it’s tough to keep up with the technology trends.

What’s even more difficult?

Trying to teach your parents how to use all these new means of communication. It gets exhausting reminding your Dad of all the different acronyms for laughing by text, and it can be embarrassing when your party pictures show up on your Mom’s news feed on Facebook. Really though, it’s not their fault. They’ve had to adjust to a lot of technology throughout their lifetime, “devolved” devices that are kinda – laughable – by today’s gadget standards.

Take a look:

Landline telephones. When was the last time you parked yourself by a landline to await an important call? Have your fingers twirled a phone cord lately while nervously flirting with the cute guy from class? Those faint memories from our childhood were all our parents used to know. And whether your parents work in the medical field or not, they probably had pagers. Sure, they had really annoying beeps and number codes, but they sure came in some flashy colors!

Typewriters. If you find yourself having trouble focusing on the million-page paper you have to write, log out of Facebook by turning off that laptop and pulling out your (grand)parents’ typewriter: no multiple tabs on Google Chrome to flip through, no IMs to respond to, no notifications to check! But this breakthrough piece of technology does have its drawbacks: there is no backspace button, so make sure to find an old eraser too. And there’s only one font option! No tricking your professor with 12.5 font now.

Brit Brit’s comeback is slammed by critics

Though it doesn’t really seem like it (since my feet are still frozen from my walk home from class….3 hours ago), summer is slowly creeping up on us. And with it, itsy bitsy, teeny weeny bikinis.

[Insert scary movie scream here.]

If the thought of your winter pooch hanging out over the top of your swimsuit bottom isn’t enough to motivate you to get to the gym, perhaps looking at pictures of uber sexy celebs prancing around in their bikinis will do the trick. Or make you cry. Seriously, look! Then tell me you’re not itching to do some jumping jacks.

Ready to GTL (minus the T and L)? Yeah, me too. I need to get Gaga abs and a Kardashian butt by June. And here are just the workouts to make that happen:

Whip your abs into shape:
Not liking the extra flab around your midsection? Here are 8 moves guaranteed to flatten those abs by summer.

Get a bikini-ready butt:
I figure skated for all of high school and then some, so I never really had to worry about my legs or butt. But now that I’m not coaching or competing, I’ve kind of fallen into a rut. And by “into a rut” I mean “my butt is jiggly and it needs to not be jiggly so I can look amazing next to my ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend.” And these 3 quickie butt-toning moves should do just the trick.

I am not a leisure-wear person. I only wear hoodies out in public when running errands or when I’m at the curling rink. (Yes, I go to the curling rink. Let’s get over it.) I do dress for comfort when I’m at home, but people rarely see me like this. Want proof? A couple of weeks ago a friend came to my building to grab something and her boyfriend told me he had never seen me dressed casually before (I was wearing a hoodie and jeans).

After receiving my UNCL hoodie, though, this might change.

I am in love with this sweatshirt. Like, I-wanna-find-a-reason-to-wear-it-every-day kind of love. It’s a good fit, not too baggy and not too big, but long enough that it covers my bum (meaning I can get away with wearing leggings underneath it!). And it’s soft. So soft. But it’s also super cute. Unlike most dormwear that has massive school logos all over the front (what do you think I am, a walking billboard?!), the small U embroidered on the left side makes this hoodie totally inoffensive. It is the perfect balance of cute and casual and that’s the kind of lounge-wear I can support….and buy 12 of. Just be aware: the hoodie runs slightly small, so if I’ve sold you on it, I’d go a size up (I’m usually a small, but the medium fits perfectly).

Honestly, everyone should own one of these hoodies. And I’m not just saying that cuz I got mine for free. In fact, I want to buy another one so I don’t have to throw this one in the wash every 3 days.If there’s anything I hate more sloppy dormwear, it’s doing laundry.

With summer coming (not soon enough), college students are busy pounding the pavement (or the whacking the web?) in order to find that amazing summer internship. Expectations high, most find themselves more than a tad disappointed when they discover their “dream gig” actually has them pushing pencils and delivering mail. (Yeah, not all internships are as amazing as mine at CollegeCandy.) But I have a feeling most of the people thinking that way are forgetting the purpose of internships…to get ahead! To make connections! To leave an amazing impression so the company hires you to do amazing things, or at least gives you a reference some other company can’t turn down.

NOT to hop online and publicly embarrass your boss because he or she is hard on you. Seems pretty obvious, right? Well, apparently it’s not because it happened. And since some young intern was dumb enough to do that, I thought maybe it was necessary to remind interns-to-be of a few other obvious things you SHOULD NOT DO NO MATTER HOW AWFUL YOUR BOSS OR HOW BORING YOUR INTERNSHIP IS. Unless, of course, you never want to work in your field again.

It’s Lady Gaga’s 25th birthday today, which for a normal 25-year-old would mean throwing on her nicest Forever 21 dress and boozing it up (while holding back tears about being old).

But for Gaga it probably means throwing on a dress made out of week-old sushi, a crown made out of young children’s baby teeth, and shoes made out of donkey hooves. And for the big party? Who knows? I mean, really, who knows? Because while we all know she likes to wear “unique” outfits,  we don’t really know what she likes to do besides entertain, perform and one-up herself.

So for her 25th birthday, we’re going to pretend like she’s a nice normal girl who is going out for a nice dinner with her parents at Olive Garden (or Macaroni Grill…it is the girl’s 25th BDAY) and then hitting the town wih her friends. And what’s a nice normal girl to wear on a day like this? Well, we have a few ideas in mind:

Seriously, this is probably Gaga’s weirdest look of all.

So it seems CollegeCandy’s Dude is the most popular guy, like, ever. You ladies just can’t get enough. You’d think he was Bradley Cooper! (Maybe he is….that’s one secret we’ll never tell.) Luckily, this guy’s a giver (even more reason to love him) and he’s gonna bring you even more of his wisdom. Only instead of answering specific questions, he’s telling us what we all want to know and never had the balls to ask. Don’t worry, he’ll still be back every Wednesday for Ask a Dude!

Ever notice his eyes are closed? Ever wonder where he seems to go while he’s got you split like a wishbone? Believe it or not, men don’t always just think with their penises. When the penis is in the forbidden triangle, the gears upstairs keep turning until the moment of release.

Well, ladies, here’s a peek into the mindset of the mid-f*cking man.

1. “not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet not yet (ad infinitum)”
Most fellas aren’t 60 minute men. They are terrified of cumming before you do. So, they try to psyche themselves out of blowing their wad too early. Note the mantra-like repetition. We’re trying to take ourselves out of the moment to make the moment last longer. A fun little paradox: deny pleasure to prolong pleasure. Why do we cum too soon? Well, that’s a list for another time…

2. “Dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies” (repeat until ejaculation)
Each guy has a mental technique to stave off prematuring. Some think of the most hideous and UNsexual images imaginable (hence the above). Others try to imagine a baseball game being played in slow motion (although most ball games are already played in slow motion). Different strokes for different folks. Hm, maybe not the best way to put it… Read More »

We all love sex. Whether we’re having it, talking about it, reading about it, watching it, we love it all. But did you know there are even more benefits to doing the dirty than simply feeling warm and fuzzy all over?

From feeling better to looking better, here are the biggest benefits to getting frisky:

Sex is Almost as Good as a Gym: We all know you can burn calories from having sex – about 86 calories in a half hour! So let’s do a little math: That’s 172 in one hour. Then if you do the nasty 5 days a week for an hour, that’s 860 calories burned. Sounds way better than a half hour on the treadmill to me.

Sex Keeps you Young: Apparently, having an active sex life reduces the process of aging. Your big O (and all the hormones that come with it) boosts collagen production which aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and age spots.

Sex is Cheaper than Proactive: Having sex regularly reduces your hormones levels and balances them out, thus clearing up your skin without wasting time and money on all those washes, toners and zit creams.

Sex Prevents Dry Skin: This time of year always brings out the worst scaly, dry, itchy skin that even a daily moisturizer can’t touch. But sex can! A roll in the hay increases blood circulation, making it more efficient. The more efficient your blood is circulating, the more moisture your skin has. Not sure how or why, but it’s true: sex will keep your skin glowing and looking fresh.

Sex Relieves Stress: So remember last semester (or even last week) when you were struggling to breathe with the amount of work being thrown on you? Yeah, a quick romp sesh would’ve helped you out. Orgasms release endorphins, endorphins make you feel good and relieve your stress. Something to think about as finals creep up once again.

Sex makes you look better. Yes, LOOK better. Click here to find the many ways sex will make you more beautiful.

God, I love sex even more than I did before. And I definitely didn’t think that was possible.

Syria is the latest Middle Eastern nation to be overtaken by popular demands for reform. On Wednesday, at least 20,000 protesters gathered at the funerals of 9 Syrians who were killed by state police during anti-regime rallies. Tension has remained high since then, and earlier today police fired tear gas into the 4,000-person strong crowd gathered in Deraa, one of Syria’s big cities. Now, people are waiting on a big announcement in the coming days from the current president, Bashar al-Assad. Protesters hope he will meet some of their demands, including the release of political prisoners, trials for those who have killed protesters in the past weeks, more freedoms, and an end to the country’s dirty politics.

South Dakota enacted a law Tuesday requiring all women to wait three days after meeting with a doctor before an abortion, the longest waiting period in the country. The bill, signed into law by Governor Dennis Gaugard, is expected to be challenged in court. In similar news, some legislators in Ohio are pushing the “heartbeat bill,” which would ban abortion once a heartbeat can be detected.

The U.S. continues its involvement in violence-ridden Libya. Tonight, all eyes will be on the president as he addresses the nation on the state of affairs in the warring country and defends the military action some congressmen have called unconstitutional. Early in the week, the U.S. and allies enforced a no-fly zone over the country in an attempt to prevent further advance of pro-government fighters. On Wednesday, the job was transferred to NATO, and the U.S. is beginning to focus more on its second goal- protecting Libyan citizens from the violence. According to the U.N., about 350,000 Libyans have fled in the past weeks, and thousands more are clogging the borders.

OMG, LOL and muffin top have officially been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. This week, the over 600,000-word tome was officially updated with the new entries. OMG is defined as “expressing astonishment, excitement, embarrassment,” LOL is “used to draw attention to a joke or humorous statement, or to express amusement,” and muffin top is “a roll of flesh which hangs visibly over a person’s (esp. a woman’s) tight-fitting waistband.” I passed the news onto my mother, but she is still convinced lol stands for “lots of love.” lol.
