No more slipping your older, cooler friends a twenty in line at the liquor store for getting you your goods. No more getting completely annihilated before the bars because your drinking has to end the second you leave the security of your own home. And best of all, no more trying to scrub off those despised black X’s in the bathroom sink of the bar.

Ladies, you’re about to enter a magical time in your life where paper wristbands are your new favorite accessories and Tylenol is your new best friend. So toss that fake I.D. aside and get ready for a ride.  You’re turning 21.  Now how do you survive it?

Pre-Drinking Preparation. It’s all about getting your room ready for your future drunken self.  Before you go out for the night, make sure your room is ready for your return because you might not even know who you are, let alone how to get into a bed, by the end of the night.

1. Pull the covers back on your bed to make it easier to pass out in.
2. Put the garbage can next to your bed. Obvious reasons.
3. Set a container of bottled water next to you. When you wake up, you’ll be thirsty…but there’s a good chance won’t feel like moving.

It may seem pointless now, but you’ll thank yourself later.

This summer fashion is taking cues from one of our favorite girls from Kansas, who wore a memorable gingham dress on her journey along the yellow brick road. The modern day interpretation? Checked fabric made into everything from skirts to scarves.

Checked fabric is similar to the ever popular plaid, though, in my opinion, a much more summery version. There’s just something so light and airy about checked fabric, no matter which way you wear it. And, contrary to what you might think, it’s quite versatile. If you opt for a small check, from a distance your piece will look like a solid color, but have a lot more visual interest up close. (Which means you can also mix it up with other prints!) If you’re looking to make a bigger statement, a larger check will be more obvious and add a pop of fun to any spring or summer look.

Got ya sold on checks? Here are 15 items to get you thinking about how to incorporate the pattern into your no-more-school! wardrobe. Read More »

As much as I love the last day of classes every school year, I’ll be honest: summer sorta stresses me out. I just never really know what the break will bring. I always worry how painful my summer job or internship might be, if I’ll have to awkwardly hang out with my old high school “friends,” and, of course, there’s always the strong possibility that my parents will drive me absolutely crazy. On the flip side, there’s also always the chance of hot summer hookups, barbecues and crazy summer nights.

Despite all that’s unknown, though, the one thing that’s for sure is we’ll have a great new selection of music to listen to, no matter what pool or beach we find ourselves at, presumably shivering, this month. Read More »

Worried that the fourth season of The Jersey Shore to be filmed in Italy will be the last? Well, worry not more. Because there’s one Jerseyite that won’t be leaving MTV just yet. According to PopEater, The Situation has signed a deal with MTV to film a yet undetermined pilot. But viewers should expect to see the show on their TVs within the next year.

So I guess that mean’s there’s only one thing left to do CollegeCandies…Take bets on exactly what this new pilot will consist of. (Besides Mike walking around shirtless for the whole episode, that is.)

Let’s look at our options, shall we? We’ve got the obvious workout show. The Situation teaches guys and gals how to get their own situation going on, full of music-riddled montages and lots and lots of protein shakes. Or we’ve got the dating show. Sort of like Tila Tequila’s Shot at Love only trashier, if that’s even possible.  Or maybe not so much a dating show as a “let’s see how many girls The Situation can sexually assault in one night” sort of thing? Or maybe even something where he dates all those girls he calls grenades and realizes that they’re actually really great gals?

Okay, maybe not that last one, but the rest of them seem like pretty realistic options, don’t you think? I mean, what else could a show staring  Mike Sorrentino be about? Leave us a comment with your suggestions!

[Life after college is hard. Like really hard. But it's not so hard that you should curl up in a ball and watch E! marathons all day long. Not only are we covering the experience from a first-hand perspective, but we're now covering it from a how-to-survive-it perspective. Every week, we're going to bringing the best advice to getting through your first post-grad year. Because sometimes, your grandmother's "just go to law school" advice just doesn't cut it.]

We’re growing faster than a gangly 13-year-old girl here at CollegeCandy headquarters (well, technically our parents’, CMG headquarters) and we’re hiring up a storm. So in addition to getting to write about celebrity PDA and decorating your vagina, I also now get to conduct tons of interviews. Since I’m barely out of college myself, it’s my first time being on the other side of the desk….and ooo boy, is it an interesting experience! I’m not only learning a lot about the process (like it sucks having to turn qualified candidates down), but also about the do’s and don’ts of interviewing. For every stellar interviewee, there was one that made me say “and BOOM, that’s why you’ve been unemployed for 6 months.”

So, without further ado, here’s a quick guide to acing an interview. Read More »

Finals Week…just saying it makes me want to run screaming for the hills. Or at least hide under my bed (with a box of Girl Scout cookies) until they are over. Long nights of studying a semester’s worth of material, writing last-minute essays (why do we always wait until the very last possible second to start those 10-page research papers?), and, of course, stressing over your grades to make sure you get the A that you want (or at least pass).

Cue the anxiety.

For the most part, every campus shows the same signs that students have entered into this week-long stretch of hell. From the clothing, to the frantic pacing back and forth, to the agitated sighs reverberating through the library, it’s pretty apparent when we’re in the midst of it. Now it’s just counting down the minutes until the student next to you in the ‘brary has a mental breakdown so they’ll leave and you can use their chair as a foot rest.

Not sure if Finals Week has started on your campus? You’ve got major problems, girlfriend. Seriously, don’t you have a syllabus?? Anyways, here are 10 signs it’s finals time on campus.

"No puedo sentir mis pies" -- I can't feel my feet.

Ah, Cinco De Mayo.  A grand holiday that brings to mind sombreros, margaritas, awkward family encounters with my cousin’s salsa band… no one?  Just me?  Okay then…

This prestigious holiday marks the warding off of the French from Mexico, and is usually celebrated with parades, etc.  Unless you are a college student; then it’s celebrated by waking up May 6th covered in confetti, wearing a sombrero, and clutching a kazoo.

You may think you’re honoring Mexico’s history with a few too many shots of tequila, but if you wanna celebrate this holiday right, it’s time to embrace Cinco De Mayo full force. And that means speaking its native tongue. So here’s a little Spanish guide with all with the essential phrases you’ll need for this joyous holiday.

Feliz Cinco De Mayo!

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.

I’ve got a traveling mindset going on this week. On Friday, I’m jetsetting off to Toronto! It’s for school, but I do still get one full day of shopping and roaming around my province’s capital. Since I know my itinerary fairly well, I’m trying to pack accordingly and decide which of my many purses to bring. I know that I’m going to be out all day Sunday, so the purse has to be a decent size and comfortable to carry. However, I’ve turned over a new, eco-friendly leaf and want to try to avoid using plastic bags when I make purchases. So this bag is going to need to be HUGE (I’m in the mood to do some major retail damage), yet comfy.

I was stumped, but decided to turn to my good friend, Google, and search for Coachella. Why, you ask? Because Coachella is a weekend-long festival, which means that attendees will need comfy bags that all their junk fits into, and I know I can find quite a few bags by scouring through photos. Okay, enough blabbing; onto my discovery. I saw plenty of crossbodies, but knew that I needed something bigger. And then I saw Rachel Bilson… Read More »
