One Month Challenge: Learning to Budget, Week 4
I did it. I budgeted. And I learned a lot about myself and my spending habits in the process. It was sometimes difficult, but definitely worth it. Looking back at the experience as a whole I can definitely say that. So instead of recapping this last week for you (which was actually kind of boring) I thought I’d take some time to just go over the finer points and the important things I picked up this month.

Little Known Facts About Jennifer Lawrence
Okay, so if you haven’t read my last post, I am completely obsessed with The Hunger Games trilogy and cannot wait for the movie coming out in March. Katniss Everdeen, the lead in the book and my new idol, is to be played by Jennifer Lawrence, Hollywood’s new It Girl, or at least mine. She is completely fabulous, so to prepare yourself for the film, here are a few facts about the movie’s lead actress.

Finding Jaws [Video]
We thought that we would brighten up your Saturday morning if you’re browsing CollegeCandy hungover/still drunk from last night, and show you this cute and funny mashup of two fishy flicks, Jaws and Finding Nemo. Obviously these two movies are about two very different fish, but that’s what makes the combination of the two so funny!

Things That Michael Fassbender’s Penis Has Ruined
The LA Times thinks that Michael Fassbender’s penis ruined his chance at an Oscar. Really. It’s pretty well known that the Academy is a little stuffy, and they tend to be put off by racy scenes. So they may have overlooked Fassbender’s performance because of his full frontal nude scene. Let’s face it – Michael Fassbender’s penis is a real problem.
Have a Nice, Tall Glass of… Donkey Semen?
Everybody loves to complain about the cheap, crappy alcohol at college parties. But just think, it could be worse.

So here’s what I’ve found to be the best things to wear when your urinary tract isn’t feeling as amazing as usual.
Diary of the Undateable: One Time Where Carrie B. is Wrong
One of my favorite episodes of “Sex and the City” is “Ex and the City”…right before Big and Natasha’s wedding. Before gallivanting into the Central Park sunlight in her Jimmy Choos, CB dropped a quote that’s been on my mind for a while: “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free ‘til they find someone just as wild to run with them.”
