So, I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you: there’s really only about a month left before summer vacation. Whether you’re super excited because you’ve got an exciting break ahead of you, or totally bummed because you’re going to miss your BFFs, one thing is certain — you need to ring out the semester properly with all your favorite friends! Lucky for you, the ladies of CollegeCandy have quite a bit of experience throwing bashes to remember (or forget, depending on how you look at it).

ReadyU, an awesome resource to help you conquer all those moments the classroom doesn’t quite prepare you for, offers some great tips for guys and gals on everything from preparing your feet for the summer season ahead to the art of male yoga. Think of ReadyU as an important tool to prepare for all those daily life conundrums a cap and gown can’t – things like asking out that cute guy who lives across the hall, or making sure your pad is spic and span when hosting that girl in your history class at a party. You know, the things you really care about, but that school administrators might find less educational.

As you gear up for the end of the semester, we wanted to offer you some exclusive advice on how to be the “hostess with the mostess” for your next get together. Check out our DIY party tips below that are sure to dazzle all your guests!

      The only thing you need for a great party is great people. But an awesome playlist doesn't hurt either.

      You need great people to make a party work. Lame people make for a lame party.

      Great food! I love making the food a conversation piece, because it is that amazing! But, of course, it would be a lame party if I didn't have my besties there to joke around with. :D
