It’s so temping to share with the world Facebook how miffed you were when your roommate stumbled in at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday night with some rando. Your girlfriends at home would def feel your pain, and you know they’d leave a few snarky comments on you wall to help ease the severe mental damage you sustained from being woken up at such an ungodly hour. Like I said, tempting option. But is it your best option? See what Marysa’s got to say below! Read More »

My first day of Kindergarten went a little something like this: ditch mom ASAP at first sight of newer, shinier toys, touch and play with toys, disregard any and all hand-outs and shove them into my Hello Kitty bag for mom to deal with, chase boys on the playground, eat lunch surrounded by strange, future friends, sit on the circle carpet, play more games (Show and Tell!) and wait for mom to come back.

My first day of college? Well, much of the same: ditch mom and dad after they take me downtown to eat at an expensive restaurant but don’t marvel at the used, rusted bed frame, desk and chair; shove any and all syllabi materials into a folder and go back to texting on my BlackBerry, chase down the closest seat to the cutest cutie in the room (but don’t get too close, you’ll look desperate), eat lunch surrounded by strange, potential friends and wait for my final class to end to call mom and dad.

I wish I could have pressed rewind and told my six-year-old self to remember exactly how I felt on my first day of kindergarten because 12 years later I’d be retracing my steps as a freshman in college. Reason #4353453578768 why life should come with a remote. Read More »

Dear Dude,

My boyfriend and I have been dating for about eight months. About three months ago, while very drunk, I kissed someone else and told him about it the next day. He was really upset, and while we were talking about it, he brought up how out of control mad he got when his ex-girlfriend of three years told him about another guy hitting on her really aggressively and the fact that she didn’t do anything to stop it. The way he spoke about this, it was very clear that he felt really strongly about her/the situation. He then told me that when we first started hanging out, he and this ex were still kind of together, in an open relationship. She soon found out about me from one of his friends, got mad, and ended things for good with him. Meanwhile, he and I casually dated for the next few months, he said I love you within 3 months, and eventually we decided to become exclusive (per his suggestion). Read More »

What It Is:
Anastasia Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes in Brunette

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:

Eyebrows are probably the most overlooked part of the average woman’s makeup routine. After applying eyeshadow, foundation, lipstick and blush, many girls don’t have the time to fix up their brows too. However, since I started tidying my eyebrows, I’ve noticed that my face looks a lot more “pulled together” and am a total convert to the practice.

Anastasia Soare is Hollywood’s brow guru, grooming the eyebrows of almost every celebrity you can think of. She’s sharing her knowledge with the general public through her cosmetics brand, Anastasia Beverly Hills. I tried out her Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes kit, with a sampling of her best products for grooming your brows and looking wide awake. Read More »

Alright, I’ll be honest–I love talking about happiness. So I’m going to keep talking about it. In my last post, I had some really great feedback from CollegeCandy readers and I wanted to touch on a great question that was asked:

Having a happy life is important, but what if you don’t know what it is that will make you happy? What if you can’t pinpoint it? How do you figure it out?

This is such a valid question and a difficult one to answer in your 20s. During this age, we are constantly trying to do our best and flounder to make everything better than the last thing. That being said, I can’t promise that I’ll answer this question correctly (I’m a little bit of a do-your-best-don’t-let-anyone-down-or-embarrass-yourself kind of girl). But I will share with you what I have done to pinpoint what makes me ultimately happy. In list form (because that’s my favorite)…

Trying New Things

This is the experimental part of finding happiness. I went through a large part of this process in college. I volunteered, joined clubs, met new people, tried Karkov, really. . .explored. With these mini life experiments, you can discover what gets your heals clicking. And I will warn you, this doesn’t always work right away. I experimented and found that I enjoyed Advertising. Then–when I put it to the test via The Real World, I didn’t feel the same way. And that’s OK. Just start over and build a new hypothesis for yourself. Ugh, why am I bringing science into this?

Ladies, we have all been there. It’s summer. There’s a bonfire. You look fabulous in your bikini. You’ve had a drink (or two… or three…). And that guy is hot. And you just want him to notice you and become your cabana boy for the next three months. It happens. But there is a very thin line between flirty and creepy.

Fortunately for you fabulous CollegeCandy readers, I’ve devised a simple yet effective checklist to ensure that your fine-tuned flirting skills do not wander into stalker territory.  Read More »

Will and Kate (oh, excuse me, Catherine) were boring. Is that blasphemy? Whatever. They are two of the least entrancing celebrities ever to be shoved down my throat.  How am I supposed to be enthralled by a “fairytale” when the characters were even less interesting than a comatose Sleeping Beauty. Luckily, Pippa Middleton was around to add some sass and excitement. I honestly didn’t follow that much of the royal wedding coverage, but from what I understand, she’s sort of an Olivia Palermo mixed with a little bit of old school Nicole Richie and a dash of Paris Hilton. Essentially, flawless. Her style is, of course, impeccable- a solid mix of structured and boho-inspired. Read More »
