Week 3. Life’s been throwing my schedule curve balls left and right. I can’t even keep track of what day it is right now I’m juggling so much. And that’s really the challenge isn’t it? It’s not about how many push ups I can do, but that I can find a way to maintain the discipline to continue doing them at all.
Today, the Young Entrepreneurs Council as well as The National Society of Collegiate Scholars will be holding over 300 campus rallies nation-wide in an effort to increase awareness of this huge problem and its solutions. I haven't read the #FixYoungAmerica book, however, here are a few ideas of how we at CollegeCandy think we can fix America's youth...
In high school, I kept a notebook full of quotes. Seriously. It's in my closet at my parents' house now, completely chock-full of the cheesiest quotes I could get my over-hormonal 16-year-old hands on. Need an example of one? Luckily, I live at home and have easy access to the notebook. Allow me to share some of the highlights...
There are infinite amount of ways to ask someone out because there are infinite amount of situations that it can come up in. And for as many ways that there are to ask, there are as many ways to reject. You could probably write it as an equation: X number of attempts = X number of rejections which can be rewritten as X attempts to procreate = X number of ways to get kicked in the nut sack.
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.
I'm not very productive when I try to get work done in my room. But there are so many times when, even though I know I should go out to the library, all I want to do is stay in. And curl up on my bed to read, which is never a good idea. I think it might help a bit if I had a more organized, functional workspace in my room.
You’ll take a lot of memories with you from the journey from duckling Freshman to swan Senior, but there will also be some regrets. Some of those regrets are going to haunt you for the rest of your life, or until you get a good paying job, which in this economy might mean the rest of your life. And of those regrets, potentially chief among them are not having sex in places you wish you would have.
My family doesn't really celebrate Easter, but some of my friends from other schools mentioned they would be home as well. It's always nice to see old friends. Well I got a text from one that said, "I want to do an adult Easter egg hunt. Somehow also made into a drinking game," to which I replied, "Jello shots in plastic Easter eggs that we have to find!"
On Friday, March 16, the Obama Administration issued a few clarifications to the Affordable Care Act’s consumer protections for student health plans. Are you scratching your head? Let me make it simple—beginning in the fall, all out-of-pocket birth control costs will be covered (meaning no copays or deductibles) by most* of the health insurance plans sold to students by their college or university.
Zac Efron recently sat down for an interview with Women's Health magazine. (Why he did that, the world may never know). But in the interview, he was asked about his biggest regret. So what did the triple threat say? His biggest regret is not going to college. Aww.

The student life is getting old. I want to be a real person with a real job! I want to get home from work and be done for the day, no homework! I want to have time on the weekends! But I think that sometimes I get carried away imagining my glamorous post-grad life. In reality, graduation can be a really humbling experience.
So I met this guy around Christmas time, and we really hit it off. We hung out a lot until we both had to go home for Christmas break. The momentum kind of died, and when we both got back into town, he started emailing me a lot. I asked him why he hadn't tried to see me, and he gave the typical busy with school and work excuse. I wrote it off as him blowing me off, but the guy hasn't stopped emailing and facebooking me! Does he really just want to be my digital friend?
Spring is finally here and I couldn't be happier! The only problem is that I can hardly stand to sit in class when it's sunny and beautiful outside. The moment the seasons started to change, all of the sun-deprived library dwellers emerged on campus. Don't miss out on the action! Here are 8 cliche things you can do on campus now that the sun is out.
