Bonnaroo, the ultimate music festival, kicks off this Thursday. For those College Candy readers lucky enough to be going, I thought I would take this opportunity to warn you all about the seven people you’ll meet at the festival.

Here at CollegeCandy we’re all about embracing summer through great accessories, including some of our all-time fave flip flips, Havaianas. And while we love throwing a pair on to hop from a day at the beach to happy hour, have you ever stopped to think about where these brightly colored, super-fun miracle sandals come from? Well, a brightly colored, super-fun city, naturally!

I know how the scenario goes. They put that college diploma in your hand on graduation day, you walk across the stage with your head held high and you think, “This is it. I made it.” Fast-forward to two months later, you’re sweating bullets selling ice cream cones at the town pool’s snack bar. And they said you needed a degree for this?

In this part of the country (Chicago) It’s been hot in herre. Cue Nelly. And the last thing I have the energy to do when it’s this hot is think about an outfit that makes me look hot, but feel cool. The Maxi Dress is always the best option for a summer wardrobe — it has versatility, style, and a breeze drifting up the skirt! Bonus Points!

Infographics make things easy for us. That’s why we love them. OkTrends, a site that gathers data from profiles on the dating site OkCupid, has created a merger of two things everyone loves — sex and infographics. This set of charts covers everything from how many times a week students expect to have sex based on their tuition to how often Twitter users masturbate. Oh, and some vegetarian-friendly sex slang is in there somewhere. That’s something we can get down to/spend half an hour scrolling through.

The Middle East, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Recession, Depression, Stimulus, Democrats, Republicans, Congress- sometimes the big issues in today’s world can make your head spin. There’s so much going on and it’s tough to keep up with all the details, but even though it’s hectic, the big issues can have a big impact on your life, your career, and your future. Lucky for you, I’ve taken the top headlines and condensed them into easy-to-read tidbits with all the info you need to know. And trust me, this is the stuff you need to know.

I took a look at my measly clutch collection the other day (I’m such an ashamed handblog blogger) and realized that everything I owned was more suited to winter. Basic black and brown leather, but nothing fun or “warm”.

I was absolutely terrified to lose my virginity. I had built it up in my head to be a significant, life-altering step, one that would cement my status as a sexually desirable woman. It turned out to be a disorienting, uncomfortable, disgusting experience that shook my confidence for months. The guy and I were getting hot and heavy, clothes came off, and suddenly he was penetrating me. I went along with it for literally five seconds, and then I rolled off. That was not what I wanted.
