• Ask A Roommate: Don’t Bring Me Down
    The transition into college is extremely difficult. It doesn't matter if you are a partier or like to spend your Saturday nights studying, college is a big change and often leads to at least some sadness. While it doesn't always end up this way, the transition can, for some people, cause depression. Here's Marysa's advice for helping a roommate that's going through a hard time...
  • 7 Real Ways to Recover After a Mardi Gras-Sized Bender
    For obvious reasons we're dubbing this day "Dead Wednesday" (or, since I'm taking French, "Mercredi Mort"). Everyone has their go-to cure for hangovers, so I've compiled a list of the tips that seem to work for most people. I've heard some pretty weird ones but these are the by far the best pieces of advice.
  • This Post Grad Life: Tasting the Humble Pie
    It's only human to have those moments (no matter how long they last) when you feel like you can't do ANYTHING right. Ok, my moment has been going on for over a week. I feel like I've been spending too much money, apologizing way too many times to people, not returning things I've borrowed, slipping from my usual tip-top form at work...and it's all so exhausting. With all these mistakes, I'm feeling super guilty.
  • 5 Reasons You Should Be a CollegeCandy Summer Intern
    Internships give us the experience of a "real world job" without actually having to be a real person and be in the "real world." Now some internships can be pretty dull and lame. You're the coffee getter, the errand runner, basically the office doormat, but not at CollegeCandy, and here are five reasons why you should definitely consider us for your next internship.
  • The Weekly Ten: How to Spend Presidents’ Day
    While many of you may not have to go to class today, I do have to go to class. Why do I have to go to class on Mr. Washington's birthday? Because my school obviously hates presidents, duh.

  • TCU Football Players Get High With Jesus
    Just yesterday morning, seventeen students -- four of which football players -- were arrested for selling drugs on and around their college campus. Can you guess which school they went to?

  • Ask a Roommate: Who Let the Dogs Out?
    When it comes to pets, is it better to compromise...or to put your foot down? Pets can be tons of fun in the right home -- a cat is great for hours of entertainment and bonding time for roomies who are stressed out to the max. But what if your roommate wants to get a pet, and you totally hate the idea of it?
  • Ask A Dude: Is It Worth Possibly Ruining The Friendship?
    So I'm friends with a great group of guys, and we hang out all the time. I've never thought of most of them as anything more than friends, but there is one that I've started to have a crush on. He's more of a friend of the guys than a close friend of mine, but we know each other and have hung out a few times. I don't want to get friend zoned by him accidentally though. I just don't want to screw up the dynamic of my friends if I make a move on this guy.
  • This Post Grad Life: I Vow…
    Before I begin, this post is dedicated to all of the wonderful ladies (and men, if you're reading) out there that feel a little stuck and lost in a life post-college. The world often feels bustling with too many confident individuals and not enough nervous, actual human beings just trying to find their place -- both in the universe and in the Starbucks line each morning before work. I want you to read this post aloud with your hand on your heart and your chin lifted high.
  • Friday Faves: 5 Common Roommate Problems — and How to Deal with Them
    Living with other human beings is hard. Like really hard. And sometimes if it's your best friend, it's even harder. How do you tell someone you love that they need to do their own dishes and turn the TV volume down and stop having loud sex every single night. We feel you. In fact, we are you and that's why we're giving you some solutions.
  • Ask A Dude: What If I’m Not His Ideal Woman?
    I found out about my boyfriend's porn a year into our beautiful relationship. I too was crushed, for I also felt as if I were "not good enough". My boyfriend tried to explain to me that it had nothing to do with me, and of course... feeling a bit insecure, I overreacted.
  • This Post Grad Life: Time To Be A Little Selfish
    I have discovered the answer to ALL post grad problems. The post grad problems I'm talking about consist of: stress, finding jobs that make you happy, dating mature human beings, partying, being adventurous, finding yourself...you get the point. So, how are we supposed to conquer all of these grown up issues at such a young age? Be obsessed with yourself.
  • The DOs and DON’Ts of Blacking Out
    It happens to the best of us. That one extra shot at a pre-game or an extra round of flip cup can quickly lead to a night of forgotten mischief and bad decisions. While it's completely fine to enjoy yourself and have a fun night, it's also important to watch your back and make sure this one night doesn't haunt you for the rest of your life (or, at least, the rest of your time at college).
  • Ask A Roommate: Money Problems!
    Dealing with finances on your own is tough enough without the added stress of having someone ask to "borrow" money every day without ever paying you back. The situation gets even more difficult when this person is your roommate.
