Win An Autographed Hunger Games Poster! [Giveaway]
The rumors are true! Gary Ross officially confirms that he will not direct ‘The Hunger Games’ sequel, ‘Catching Fire.’ What will this mean for the movies to come? We can’t be sure, but based on the success of ‘The Hunger Games,’ the next director has some serious shoes to fill. Fortunately for you, CollegeCandy has a Hunger Games poster signed by Ross himself for your collection!
Is Marriage A Deal Breaker? [Ask A Dude]
I’ve been dating this guy for a few months, and we really get along phenomenally. We have a lot in common, including our sense of humor, we love to go on adventures and the sex is fantastic. Marriage came up in conversation the other day, because one of his friends is unhappily married. During the conversation he revealed that he didn’t believe in marriage and would never marry.

This Post Grad Life: Making Life Progress in Baby Steps
Lately, I’ve been in a huge, post-grad rut. There are so many things I wanted to accomplish IMMEDIATELY upon graduating from college (i.e. being a successful writer, getting my own studio apartment, making lots of money), and of course…none of that has happened. So all I’m left to do is sit and wonder why none of it is progressing at the speed of light.
Shoes For Prom and Formal You Can Actually Afford
Teen Vogue has a slideshow on their site right now of “100 party-ready heels for prom.” Even though we’re well past our prom days, we still love a good pair of heels – whether we’re heading to a formal, going out, or just because. But after a few clicks, we discovered that Teen Vogue’s picks are way out of our price range. Check out the affordable alternatives we found to Teen Vogue’s pricey picks.
Minka Kelly is Fierce in Floral [Celebrity Chic on the Cheap]
Minka Kelly is such a regulation hottie. And she will forever have a place in my heart, not only for being in Friday Night Lights (the only time I will ever care even a little about football), but for the delightfully, absurdly cheesy cinematic masterpiece The Roommate. She has a pretty unassuming style that is fun, cute, and totally appropriate for the average college girlie.
The Evolution of Justin Timberlake [Photos]
Justin Timberlake has come a long way since his Mickey Mouse Club days. His hair has changed. His style has transformed. His music has evolved from his boy band days to present day. Over time, Justin Timberlake, in my opinion, has not only gotten cuter, but has just improved himself in every way possible.

Take Notes on Websites With Markup! [Web Spy]
Many of you are probably like me in the fact that I like to take notes and make comments for myself in all my textbooks and printouts I read for class. Do you ever wish you could do the same with a website? Well with Markup, you can!
Beyonce Showcases a Post Baby Beach Bod!
I am well aware of the conspiracy theories out there about Beyonce not actually giving birth to Blue Ivy. However, I feel that for all the effort Beyonce allegedly put into ‘pretending’ to be pregnant, it would have been just as difficult to actually be pregnant. Personally, I don’t think it is anyone’s business, but these bikini photos definitely display a curvier Beyonce.
Stock Up on Summer Scarves [8 Under $20]
Unlike their heavier cool-weather counterparts made out of wool or other heavy knits, summer scarves are usually made from linen, gauze, chiffon, or sheer cotton, making them light enough to wear when it’s warmer outside. I found some lovely options in bright, fun prints that are perfect for summertime — and all are less than $20!
Mo Contraception Control, Mo Problems [Sex in the News]
Conservatives claim to love one thing more than anything else. And that’s cutting the size of government. Yes, they want fewer taxes and less government spending. But recently it seems they also want to control contraception and other rights that affect women’s control over their reproductive systems. Unfortunately for those trying to make both these things happen is that they’re mutually exclusive.

Graduating with a nursing degree and no clue where to move when you graduate? Tuffy Luv even has answers for that!
Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Stance [In Our Makeup Bag]
Illamasqua is a super funky brand that stands out with amazing quality products. I’ve never encountered an Illamasqua product that I didn’t love, so I was really excited to try out their new shade of nail varnish. Stance is a bright fuschia-violet with a glossy finish.
