Single Girl Society – Get Over Guilt

Lesson #41 – Get Over Guilt

Not a day goes by that there isn’t something that triggers a pang of guilt in my life. If it’s not my mother telling me to eat more because there are starving children in India (true, but I don’t see you wrapping up the leftovers and sending it to them), then it’s my accounting textbook staring me down, practically scolding me for having yet to crack it open for my test that week. There’s just something about being a girl that makes us unreasonably prone to feeling guilty at any point.

As one of the only single girls in my group of friends, I constantly feel this guilt to go on blind dates that my friends set up for me as they do their best to sell each guy with disclaimers like, “I don’t know him that well, but I know he’s perfect for you.” Well, as promising as that sounds, I’ve taken enough shots in the dark to know they are usually wrong about these guys and yet I cant find it in myself to say no without feeling a world of guilt.

Welcome Back, Dane Cook

Who else was mad when Dane Cook didn’t get nominated for an Oscar for Employee of the Month? I wasn’t mad either. When Dane Cook first stepped into the limelight, I’ll admit that I thought he was funny. Then something happened. I would watch one of his specials on TV, and then the next day in class I would feel like I was watching it over and over again. Every fratty bro felt the need to repeat Dane Cook quotes over and over and over and over.

So maybe it’s not fair that I don’t like Dane Cook because he annoys me. He really isn’t the annoying one. It’s all the bros (and girls that want to be like bros) who are annoying. I think a comedian’s jokes should only be allowed to be said by the comedian, because they are obviously the funny one. Not the frat guy toasting to Dane Cook before shot-gunning a beer. So maybe I’ll give Dane another chance next year, because love him or hate him, he will be back on our TVs.


Budget Stylista – Dressing Up Sportswear

Though sweatpants are NEVER cool for public wear, our favourite fashion designers scoured locker rooms for inspiration for their fall 2011 collections. And then did a complete 180, cause these looks sure didn’t include the over-sized, inherited from a former FWB t-shirts. No, these looks are much too nice for the college gym.

This is one of the things that I love about fashion. Designers can be “inspired” by something, and then channel it in a way that is on an entirely different planet than the original inspiration. For example, just because the Victorian-era inspired designers this season, doesn’t mean girls are rocking the insane junk-in-yo-trunk bustle. So instead of the clothes you’d sweat-it-out at the gym in, there are chic, sporty clothes for you instead.

Some ways to add a little athletic flair into your wardrobe is through more fashionable items made of typical sports fabric. This includes things that look like they could be surf-wear or jersey items including the pullover.

Outfit 1: Puffer vests are perfect for a walk outside on a fall day, and with this herringbone one, you don’t have to schlep around. If you don’t quite need a full jacket during the fall, a vest on top of a long-sleeve shirt is a nice, cosy substitution. Jeans and tees are casual enough for class, though they don’t have to be boring. Adding a bright coloured scarf is a way to add a pop of colour and some visual interest to an otherwise simple outfit.

Celebrating Banned Book Week With Erotic Classics!

Banned Book Week celebrates the importance of our right to intellectual freedom as well as our first amendment. Woo hoo!

But, while Banned Book Week encourages writers and readers alike to express themselves openly through their literary choices, maybe there should be a limit on certain things.

Our headquarters at CollegeCandy sometimes feels more like a landing strip for awkward, often naughty, packages than it does the HQ of a popular college blog.

In our mailbox this week? Pride & Prejudice, written by Mitzi Szereto.

You can imagine my surprise when I walked in and sat down this morning thinking that someone gave me a copy of one of my favorite reads. Err, wrong! This time it’s Pride & Prejudice Hidden Lusts. Szereto has replaced modesty in all my favorite characters with porno-pumping desire.

So, in honor of Banned Book Week, I’d like to share just a few excerpts from this adapted read that exemplify why our intellectual freedom and first amendment rights should only take us so far in the literary world:

From page 53, “A lively and sociable young woman, she had no trouble keeping them all amused, often taking them three at a time, since she saw no point in possessing three openings if they could not all be applied to at once. Wearing only her short stays, she took to the bed with a trio of gentlemen, one lying beneath her, another on top, and still another positioned at her face, their eager members conveniently located within their opening of choice.” Read More »


Friday Faves: 5 Signs Your Friend is Really a Frenemy

Our generation, the trailblazers that we are, will leave a lot of different marks on this world, but none more significant than our ability to create new (and fabulous, mind you) words. Sexting. Legit. Facebooking. Fab. Whatevs. Whether we’re abbreviating them or combining them, we’re creating them, and we’re creating them with very specific purposes in mind.

How else would you describe a friend that acts like your enemy? Someone who you think you can trust, but you really can’t? Someone who makes you feel worse while she pretends she’s trying to make you feel better? This person is not your friend. But she’s not exactly your enemy either.

She’s your frenemy.
