So far, this hasn’t really gotten any easier – I have made some minor mistakes. Like when my sweet tooth craving hit during homecoming and I (drunkenly) ran to Dunkin Donuts for a chocolate glazed donut, but I’d say that’s been my worst slip up yet. What’s harder, though, is when I try so hard to resist a temptation for something non-vegan that I just end up ravenously chowing down on bread and crackers and anything vegan-friendly I can get my hands on. This has, unfortunately, been the norm lately. But I am trying to go easy on myself and not let this make me feel crappy: the name of the game is “meatless,” not necessarily “low-cal.” Suffice it to say, my body isn’t quite in Olivia Wilde shape just yet.

Six years ago, everyone thought Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were crazy for getting married—they’re fifteen years apart in age. And though they fight the good fight together though the DNA foundation, an organization that combats child-sex exploitation around the world, they’re no longer fighting for their marriage. Why?

As an overworked college student, it can be hard to pay attention to the off-campus world.  You are struggling to keep up with your courseload and you’re expected to keep up with international developments too? It is tempting to retreat to the library, glue your nose to a textbook and forget about world issues.

However, if you neglect to keep up with the news, you are missing out on a crucial component of your education. Professors don’t want you to read Aristophanes and learn economics so that you can quote the Lysistrata and draw models, what you learn in class is supposed to shed light on real issues. How can you see the comparisons between old and new, theoretical and actual, if you don’t know what is going on around you?

As kids, we were constantly being taught right from wrong by our parents. Growing up, we knew that we had to clean up after ourselves, always say “please” and “thank you,” and not to talk to strangers. But how many of these lessons did we forget after elementary school? Somewhere between adolescence and teenagedom we got rid of our childhood lessons in order to make room for Cosmo knowledge. But there are key lessons we learned as youngsters that we should bring back into our lives now. Read More »

Getting dressed to go to class is a breeze. Sweats? Check. Hoodie? Check. Uggs? Check. But getting dressed to go to a party is a whole different story. Your full closet never seems to have anything you want to wear! That doesn’t mean you should lose hope, give up and stop going out.

Instead check out CollegeFashion’s latest post on what to wear and bring to a college party, plus three cute fall-appropriate college party outfit ideas. Click here to see your cute campus-approved looks!

Surely you’ve all heard of missed connections on Craigslist, and if you haven’t I highly suggest you check it out for your entertainment. Yes, Craigslist is useful for buying furniture and some people luck out with roommates, but it can also be a bit creepy. Sometimes missed connections are sweet and flattering, but a lot of them are downright ridiculous. I get it, you see a pretty girl on the subway, and you didn’t pluck up the courage to talk to her. Or that girl from the coffee shop who’s always reading a book that you never manage to ask out.

But seriously, what makes you think she’s searching through Craigslist Missed Connections? Sorry, but she’s not. And you telling the internet how much you want to bone her probably isn’t the best way to ask a girl out. Next time, just say hi. Enjoy these creeptastic missed connections… Read More »

Regardless of your relationship status, there will be situations and the people that stir them up, who at any point in time, will have you questioning what’s really important in life. It just so happens, though, that probability of that sort of drama infiltrating your life spikes when you’re single. There are some people who take the dating game a little too seriously, who extract meanings from things everybody else thinks are harmless, and more often than not, those people are looking for someone to blame. Luckily, the Single Girl Society has you covered with a general rule of thumb on how to deal with people who don’t always have your best interest in heart, or for that matter, don’t even really have a heart.

Lesson #47: When it comes to people: If they’re toxic, cut them out, and if they’re people you wish you could be more like, hold them tight.

There really only are two kinds of people in our lives: life ruiners — those that make you wonder how you’ll get by; and life savers — those who you wouldn’t be able to get through the hardship without. Read More »

Many tabloids talk about celebrity kids more than their famous parents.  It’s almost like the Era of the Celebrikid because there are just so many and the paparazzi love snapping pictures of them walking down the street with mom and dad.

But who is the most popular celebrity kid? Who is the most athletic? We awarded some celebrity kids their senior superlatives as the Celebrity Kid Class of 2011. Don’t be mad that you didn’t win one, Shiloh. I never won a superlative either. Read More »

News broke today that Kate Middleton is pregnant. CollegeCandy is pleased to announce that Kate Middleton’s OB-GYN spoke with us exclusively regarding the pregnancy. Dr. Louisa Frautschnaut said Kate is expecting to give birth in mid-June. Will is apparently “over the moon,” already enlisting the help of a hand-selected staff of personal shoppers at Harrods to help decorate the nursery.

Perhaps in the most exciting turn of events, the happy couple will welcome both a boy and a girl. That’s right, twins! Dr. Frautschnaut told us, “We were doing a routine PAP smear and realized — oh no! — there was no PAP to be schmeared!! We immeeeediately did ze sonogram and — ahhh!! — such a shock! Twins in ze womb!”

Upon hearing the news, CollegeCandy investigative reporter, Jordan Hines*, almost fell off his/her chair. Naturally Hines pressed for the names of the twins, but Dr. Frautschnaut would not budge. “Let’s just say they’re considering things that rhyme with ‘Smarry’ and ‘Smermione’.”

Such good news, indeed!! Congrats to Kate and William!

*Wishes to remain genderless.
