Yeah, that's me. As Octomom. Never. Having. Sex. Again.

I have a good life: a job I love, a closet full of fantastic clothes, and some pretty rad friends and family. But even with all that I am always wondering what it would be like to trade places with someone else for a day.

Like my friend Amy – I’ve always wanted to know what it is like to have big boobs and a teeny, tiny waist. Or Octomom – spending a single day with 14 kids will teach me not to skip the condom when I’m in the heat of the moment. Or pretty much any celebrity with oodles of money and people bowing down to them wherever they go.

I’m pretty sure everyone – no matter how content – would give anything (even that coveted slice of drunken late-night pizza) to be someone else for one day. So this week I asked the CollegeCandy writers which celebrity they’d want to trade places with.

Who do you wanna be?

Thu – USC: I’d be Oprah and give away houses this time.

Kayla – California State University, Sacramento: Maybe I would be Heidi Montag. It might be nice to not have to use my brain for one day.

Kathryn – University of Wisconsin-Madison: I would want to trade places with Renee Zellweger. ONLY because she’s reportedly dating Bradley Cooper. Yum.

Elizabeth – UC Berkeley: Jennifer Aniston.  She’s hot and, let’s face it, everybody secretly roots for Team Aniston. Read More »

Thanksgiving was pretty awesome, wasn’t it? Lots of food, lots of family and lots of time to do nothing but watch reality TV show marathons and eat homemade desserts. Then you come back to school and it takes only a moment to realize that the comforts of Thanksgiving break are long gone.

Finals are coming.

So now instead of laying low and relishing in the sweetness of chocolate-y desserts, you are spending every waking moment in the library surrounded by books, highlighters, a laptop and hundreds of other stressed out students. You are starving, but the damn library won’t let you bring in snacks and you are far too busy to leave. You have to pee, but there is just no time for it! That paper isn’t going to write itself!

Stop. Breathe. Perhaps a little Study Porn will make you feel better. Here are some of the things getting us through this stressful time. Mmmmm, Coach Bags…. Read More »

You either love war movies or hate them. You either have an entire wall of DVDs ranging from Full Metal Jacket to the Deer Hunter, or you vomit at the site of blood. I don’t care if you can’t stop watching them or can’t stand them – go see Stop-Loss.

As a film major at Emerson College, I’m pretty in touch with the current crop of movies that are hitting the silver screen. I may not see all of them but I know about most of them, which is why I eventually wind up not shelling out an absurd amount of money to see them in theaters.

But I’ve never felt so connected with a movie in my entire life. I’ll admit, I’m pretty damn liberal. I spent much of my high school years bashing every facet of the war and the current administration. But I cried during this movie. Read More »
