I’m sure if I looked up the top five mistakes you could make on a first date, the following things would be on the list: ditching your studying to go out on said date, allowing the guy to handle your drink without keeping a watchful eye on it, riding in an unknown man’s car, going to his house in the middle of nowhere and letting him blow shotgun kisses into your previously unkissed mouth.

So much wrong in one night.

After we got into the car, I felt relaxed. I thanked my Carrie Bradshaw guardian angel up above for sending me a nice, polite, attractive, well-dressed, date-paying, college educated, law school-pursuing, job-having and car-owning young man. He was totally second date worthy, I thought. Read More »

It’s 4/20, and we all know what that means. If you’re indulging today, may your “holiday” be filled with movie marathons and delicious munchies. If you’re not partaking, why not take advantage of the movie marathons and munchies anyway? It’ a win/win situation.

To help you out, we collected recipes for some amazing munchies. You’re welcome!

I was surprised to find that there are a ton of pictures online of celebrities smoking weed. I was also very surprised by which celebrities had these kinds of pictures online. Barack Obama? Cameron Diaz? I knew they smoked but I wasn’t expecting to find actual pictures. Despite how you may feel about weed, some of these pictures are pretty convincing examples of successful people that smoke marijuana, while others are also very good examples of celebrities that whose careers have been negatively affected by weed. I’ll leave it to you to decide if it’s possible (or impossible) to be a successful pothead.

So, in honor of 4/20, here are some of your favorite celebrities smoking pot…

Were you surprised by any of these? Tell us in the comments!

So tomorrow is not Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday. It’s actually Wednesday. Wednesday, April 20th, that is. Also known as every stoner/pizza delivery guy’s favorite day.

While we at CollegeCandy don’t condone illegal drug use, we know that many people (like Miley Cyrus and Michael Phelps) do, so in honor of their favorite day, we thought we’d put together a little 4/20 playlist. You know, the perfect soundtrack for a day of Hot Pockets, YouTube marathons and…uh…more Hot Pockets.

[Sidenote: who knew there were so many songs about weed and getting messed up? Mind. totally. blown.]

Anyways, whether you plan on celebrating tomorrow or not, this playlist is, like, totally sick, dude.

Well, the week is finally over, and what a week it was. Where do I even begin? Obviously with the amazeballs Glee Madonna episode.  Sue Sylvester is seriously my hero.  Then we found this video of ‘Things I Hate’ that made me laugh until my face hurt more than after prom pictures.  It was also 4/20 and Earth Day, and I killed two birds with one stone by chowing down on Sunchips.

And now, to call the week to a close, we have a whole weekend dedicated to patio happy hours and shopping online for new spring dresses. It’s moments like these that make me happy I have a little money store in the bank.

Ahhh, the good life. Summer is really inching closer and closer and I can already smell the burnt hot dogs in the air. But before you get wrapped up catching up on Glee (they’re airing it again tonight for the many of us who missed the last few minutes thanks to stupid American Idol) or diving into the spring dresses tab on the J. Crew website (color me guilty), take a look at the awesome week that was.

- We are wondering, if Noah can chase Allie (and hang on a Ferris Wheel to get her attention) why can’t women do the same without looking like complete creepers?

- Are sick days included in the real world?  Eh, not so much.

- We argued the reasons why women shouldn’t wait for sexy time.

- Cosmopolitan came out with a ‘Sexy Issue’ this month. Yee-haw! But after reading it, we think it should be re-named the ‘Silly Issue.’ Read More »

Tomorrow is 4/20, also known as “Let’s Get Stoned Day.” Or, for me (and Michael Phelps), just another Tuesday.

While most people will celebrate this national holiday behind a hanging tapestry in the privacy of their dorm room with 12 bags of chips and a tub of frosting, there are some schools that turn it into a campus affair.

Cue my regret for choosing the wrong school.
And pass the Cheetos.

UC Berkeley – People’s Park Celebration
Last year, more than 1,000 people joined this pot-extravaganza to celebrate with (slow) dancing, (lots of) eating, and (passionate) speeches. I can just see it: people cooking rice and beans under the shade of a willow tree, with and endless supply of Cliff Bars and positive feelings. Utopia.

University of California, Santa Cruz – Celebration at Porter Meadow
Not even a lack of shuttle services or parking stops UCSC students from hiking up Empire Grand for a glassy eyed, sunny day in Porter Meadow come 4/20. “National Pot Smoking Day” has turned Parker Meadow into a ‘baked circus’ every year at the University. Vendors set up in the field to feed the munchies of nearly 5,000 people while bands perform, ‘Santa Cruz 420′ t-shirts are handed out, and a soft haze sits over the meadow. Sounds like a party.

This week may have been the best week ever.  For starters, people celebrated 4/20 on Monday.  Tuesday (probably the best day ever) was both Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin Donuts® AND Free Scoop Day at Ben and Jerry’s®.  Plus, on Wednesday, we celebrated Earth Day!  We learned why college students should go green, which is easier than you’d think.  And now we can keep the celebration going this weekend with an eco-friendly gathering, where we will have to lay off the booze so as not to become the drunk girl.

Also, this week was the first week that, at least for a lot of the country, it actually felt like spring—which makes us (and squirrels) want to party!  So throw on that new organic cotton sundress, paint your nails hot pink, and have fun!  Plus, we all know that spring puts us in a sexy mood (you’re probably stalking your crush’s Facebook page while you read this, right?), and now we know exactly how to find that new guy.

With all the fun we’ve been having this week, it’s going to be hard to get back to writing that paper we’ve been putting off. But we must, or we may regret it later.

A sunny-yet-foggy day in Boulder, CO.
4:20 p.m. on 4/20.

No, that is not fog. That is smoke. Being exhaled. From the mouths of Boulder students. Who are now high.

Imagine all the intellectual conversations (“Why do you have three eyes?”), the bonds being formed (“I love you, man!” “No, I love YOU!”), and the overwhelming sounds of stomachs growling in that crowd of enthusiastically lazy students.

The entire town had a contact high that day.

And The Sink burger (a Boulder icon) never tasted so good.

Spencer Pratt tries to out Tweet Ashton Kutcher.

Turn your bed into a bong!

So, who’s at Coachella?

How to bribe a bouncer.

Degree does perfume.

Is that…Lady Gaga?

So in honor of 4/20 I’ve decided to share with you all a lesson that I learned about the pot:

Two years ago I was an occasional smoker, with friends who were quite the opposite. One day we went out to a field to smoke. Why did we choose a wide open field? I’m not sure, but I think it might have had something to do with the fun that comes from rolling in the grass while high.

After walking as far out into the field as we could, my friend rolled perhaps the largest blunt known to mankind. That thing was huge! (Editor’s Note: That’s what she said.) I, being a novice and far from avid smoker, perhaps should have taken the size issue into account. But alas, I did not. Instead, I smoked just as much as the other two. And that was a lot.

When we got up to walk back to the car my legs felt kinda funny. They were melting into the ground, I was sure of it. My friends, whose legs were not melting into the ground, kept stopping and telling told me to hurry up. I tried (even talking to my legs aloud) but there was something terribly wrong with me! My legs were melting! I couldn’t move quickly! Was I going to be like this forever!? Read More »
