My freshman year I couldn’t stand my roommate. We were so different that the chance of striking some type of common ground was about as impossible as Britney and Justin finding love in a hopeless place. After three-month old Indian food and dried puke on her bedspread, I spent the entire year living out of a friends room. Rarely did I ask for advice. I just felt like there was no hope.

Lucky for you, we run a weekly web series, hosted by the fabulous Marysa, that addresses common roommate problems (submitted by YOU!). While there are a bajillion reasons why you should tune in and see what our ultimate roommate mediator has to say, here are the top three:

1. It’s always good to have a non-biased opinion, especially when your friends are obviously going to take your side and her friends are obviously going to take hers. We give you the rundown on what we think you should do to be proactive about your squabble. But sometimes, there’s no right answer. So if you can’t solve the problem, at least you’ll have outnumbered her in supporters!

2. We answer YOUR questions! Yeah, I said it and I’ll say it again: Y-O-U-R questions get posted to our site and we do our best to give you the advice you need! The more you encourage friends and future roomies to submit their issues to Marysa, the more help you have resolving issues — no matter how big or small.

3. We don’t sugar coat anything. We’re real college girls too, so we tell it like it is every chance we can. Maybe your roommate is an alcoholic, or maybe she is a slut. There’s no reason for us to lie and say that ‘maybe you’re over-thinking it, she doesn’t drink every night’ or is ‘sexually exploratory right now’. Nope. We’re shellin’ out the cold hard facts on real world girls with real world fights.

So what are you waiting for? Check out our previous episodes! To submit a roommate issue or question of your own, send an email with “Ask A Roommate” in the subject to editor(at)collegecandy(dot)com and let us help!

So you like to stay up late watching Bravo reruns while your roommate prefers to get her full…uh…14 hours of sleep each night. If you’re a night owl, it can be tough striking a reasonable balance with an early bird. What time do the lights go out? What about music and TV? Visitors? It seems like one problem just begets another! Good thing we’ve got Marysa on our team to tackle all the tough questions.

Tune in to this week’s Ask a Roommate to get tips on how to handle this tough sitch… Read More »

Got a roommate stealing your highlighters? Or worse, is your roommate stealing from your drunk snack stash? When confronted about the offense, does your roommate get shifty eyes and retaliate by accusing you of shacking with boyfriend (whom you’ve never met and didn’t know existed)? Do you simply have a crazy biatch on your hands and don’t quite know what to do about it?

As if you had any doubt in your mind, CollegeCandy’s got you covered. (Girl, we’re always here for you.)

We’re introducing a new Wednesday video series called Ask a Roommate, hosted by the lovely Marysa (meet her here!). And it’s going to be just that. Take all your burning questions and dorm dramas and email them to editor (at) collegecandy (dot) com.

Do people really love Valentine’s Day, or loathe it. We wanted to find out so we took to the streets.

It’s February already?!  You know what that means…Valentine’s Day. Which for those lucky ladies who have a special someone in their lives, this is an amazing time to go on a cute date and do some naughties in the bedroom.

But for the single girls (like me) Valentine’s Day is another freaking reminder that, guess what? You’re still single. So in order to keep yourself from crying at the fact that you’ll be spending next weekend stuffing your face with all things chocolate, it is essential that you keep yourself laughing. And this week was full of things to make you laugh.

Some of these funnies we can attribute to celebs. Take Michael Phelps, for example. Maybe it’s just me, but there is something funny about our little golden boy getting caught smokin’ da reefer. Also, Chirstian Bale’s freak out is absolutely hysterical. And weathermen may not be anything but local celebrities, but they have the funniest bloopers. Even though we may only be celebs in our own world, we sure are funny!

And if that reminder that we have another 6 fabulous weeks of winter makes you a little more depressed, remember there are worse things. Like looking like this, and thinking it looks good. Picture her wearing this shirt…THAT would be funny!

On a more serious note, February is also National Eating Disorder Awareness Month. So ladies, take care of yourself and love yourself. Educate yourselves about eating disorders so that you can learn how to help those around you.

Happy February!

What is it about alcohol that makes you want, no, need to eat a meal for a family of four when you get home from the bar? Things you’ve never craved before and suddenly you can’t get enough.

Jill and Lauren discuss this…the morning after a particularly long night. Please excuse their hot mess-ness.

We warned you, and now it’s here: the first episode of CollegeCandy TV. We wanted to come out with a bang (pun intended), so we got down and dirty. So, listen up; it’s time to talk about farts.

It’s coming. Get ready.
