Five Stages of a New Relationship

If you just started seeing someone new, chances are your relationship is going to go through some stages. These stages happen in almost every relationship (I don’t have a PhD in relationships or anything, I’m just going by my own experiences). So here are some stages that you and your new bf or gf will probably go through. And if you don’t, your relationship will probably end in a terrible break-up that has you eating a gallon of ice cream every day for a week (just kidding…you’ll only eat a gallon the first break-up night).

1. Butterflies and rainbows

So you two just started dating, and obviously everything is perfect. You want to spend every minute with each other and you can’t keep your hands off each other. You’ve forgotten who your friends are because you haven’t seen them in a week; you’re too busy being complimented on how perfect you are. Read More »


New Year’s Eve Is Overrated

New Year’s Eve is seriously THE most overrated holiday of the year. Valentine’s Day is the day that all lazy boyfriends have to get up off their asses and remind their girlfriends why they should stick around, and Halloween is the night to dress up like someone else and make out with someone whose face you don’t ever really want to see. So why celebrate NYE?

The History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics [Video]

Sometimes the best parts of a song aren’t the meaningful lyrics or the soulful crooning, but rather the nonsensical words that an artist makes up for the chorus. The part of the song that you find yourself singing along to — even though you aren’t even sure what you’re singing.

Ask A Dude: Why Do Guys Always Choose My Friends Over Me?

Hey Dude,

I’m not ugly. Not by a long shot. I mean, I’m only a 32B and lack curves, but I’m pretty, and I’ve had plenty of guys tell me this. The problem is: nobody wants me. Ever. I attempt flirting, but guys always go for my curvy friends.

Even though I don’t understand sports, I’m able to talk to guys fairly easily. I’ve had guy friends since I was 10 years old, when most of my female friends didn’t have them until they were 13. I can talk about Star Wars, roller coasters, whatever. I’m very good at being able to talk about pretty much anything, even if I don’t know about the topic.

But why do guys always go for my friends? Why am I always the one left completely alone? I’m as virginal as they come because no guy wants me. When my friends and I go into the city, it’s impossible for someone not to stare at my friends. Guys completely ignore me.

It also seems like the rare guys I do attract are either sweet but socially inept geeks or total douches that just want my body. Why is it so impossible for me to find someone moderately attractive and sweet? Read More »


Keep Calm and… [Photos]

By now you’ve undoubtedly seen the red “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters. How am I so confident you know what I’m talking about? Oh yeah, that’s because the saying isn’t only found posters anymore. It’s is also emblazoned on mugs, notepads, journals, t-shirts, blankets…you name it!

Naturally it was only a matter of time before amateur artists (read: people like you) took matters into their own hand. Following the same “Keep Calm and…” format, people began forming their own instructional messages. Take a look below for just a handful of the hundreds you’ll find on the internet. Read More »


20 Worst Movie Mistakes Revealed

Holiday break is upon us which means after a few weeks of being home with the fam, we’re already bored as hell. Now, there are many ways to cure the boredom blues including: inviting yourself over to a friend’s house, re-organizing your disaster of a closet, or watching Dawson’s Creek on Netflix (my personal favorite). When all those options become “been there, done that,” we here at CollegeCandy have found a little gem that’ll perk up any dull day.

If you’re like me, whenever there’s a continuity error in a film or TV show, you must point it out to every single person within a five mile radius. “HIS SHIRT IS DIFFERENT!” “HER HAIR WAS UP AND NOW IT’S DOWN!” Finding flaws in films can be difficult, but it’s also pretty fun. So when you’re twiddling your thumbs this holiday break and there seems like nothing to do, check out these 20 worst movie mistakes in family favorite films! 


The Most Controversial He Said/She Saids Ever Written

This past year on CollegeCandy, we went right to our resident male vs. female debate teams in our popular He Said/She Said column to settle the score on a lot of issues. Before you retreat into your feminist ways and vow to always be right in every argument, we think that your resolution in the new year should be to hear out both sides.

Uh, come again?

I know, sometimes guys don’t really think before they speak and, as women, we feel like we know so much about our bodies because these issues (sometimes) directly affect us. So in order to remind us that sometimes guys and girls do have genuine opinions, we rode the time machine back to some of our most controversial He said/She said moments to detail just how fine the line is between right and wrong.

5 Ways Michael Lohan Will React To Being Excluded from The Family XMAS Card

Our friends over at TMZ got ahold of the Lohan family Christmas card (see it here) and despite LiLo’s unnaturally blonde hair, everything looks pretty normal. Too normal, in fact. Where is the drama? The framed restraining orders? The sleeveless mesh shirt?

Where is Michael Lohan?

Turns out he couldn’t make it to the family photo shoot because he was busy attending his court-ordered vacation at a rehab center in Florida. While I’d love to say that he’s a calm and rational man, capable of understanding why he was left out of the family card, I can’t.

So here are a few predictions on how I think he’ll react:

The Best Websites We Found This Year

We all know the internet is a big gigantic place (there are over 100 million sites!), but chances are you probably spend most of your time on the important ones, like CollegeCandy, Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. That means you’re missing out on all the great other sites out there — unless you’ve been reading Web Spy! This year, the sites we’ve covered help you find new music, be more productive, discover sales and specials, and get healthier, while others just are great ways to procrastinate (like we need more distractions). Here are some of our favorite Web Spy posts from the last year — what’s yours? Read More »
