As college students, we are constantly inundated with new knowledge. It can be useful, thought-provoking, or crammed into our head on a Starbucks-fueled binge several hours before an exam. However, very rarely do we question the validity of all this new knowledge (unless you take philosophy classes, then you’ll question away).
That’s where College Candy comes in. We’re not going to debate whether or not the Theory of Relativity actually exists (a disappointment, I know, but I’m a communications major and stopped taking science classes after Baby Bio fresh year). However, we are here to thoroughly investigate the most widespread college knowledge (no, not rhyming)—the myth.
One of the most well known and deeply feared college myths are three little words: breaking the seal. As defined by the most elite source of definitions, Urban Dictionary, breaking the seal is “The point at which you first piss after you have been drinking your favorite alcoholic beverage and at this point you will be pissing every ten minutes.”
We’ve all been there. Enjoying a lively round (or 6) of flip cup when all of a sudden, your bladder reminds you that it has a maximum capacity. You try to discreetly excuse yourself to visit the ladies room, but your concerned besties remind you—very loudly—that you can’t break the seal!
So this seal we all desperately protect, does it actually exist? Or is it possible that it’s simply an alcohol-fueled figment of our imagination? I’ve enlisted a panel of urological experts (read: my boyfriend in med school and Google) to figure out if this phenomenon is real. Read More »
If there’s one thing we love in life, it’s partying with the girls. For free. So, we’re throwing a party. And it’s all free.
There will be fabulous cocktails, tasty snacks, and your favorite dance-able jams. Everyone will also have the chance to take home some super sweet prizes, from a brand-spanking-new HP computer to spa treatments to a tour of NBC’s 30 Rock.
All you have to do is put on your party shoes (flats, for real) and show up. Oh, and it also helps if you are in NYC, as anything else would be a long walk o’ shame home in the morning.
So grab your girls and come party with us July 29th from 6-9 p.m. at Vig 27.
P.S. 21 and up, ladies. P.P.S. CollegeCandy is not responsible for lack of productivity the following day. Might be a good idea to take the day off. Just sayin….
[One of the greatest aspects of college life is the morning-after recap with friends. You stumble out of bed, grab your liquid of choice, and gather around the living room to replay (and remind yourself of) the events of last night. You laugh, you cringe and you share the highest of highs...and the rock-bottom lowest of lows. We thought we'd bring the fun of the recap to CollegeCandy, so grab that coffee and take part in the deliciously awkward moments your CC friends have to share.]
We’ve all seen how boys act when they want to make out with you at a club. First, they come up behind you and begin to dance. Maybe you introduce yourselves, maybe you don’t. If they are a good dancer, you continue dancing, and if they suck, you text your friend that you have to go to the bathroom and she comes and pretends that she has to use the facilities at that exact second.
However, if you have decided that this guy is worth your dancing time, about five-ten minutes into the encounter (2-4 songs) he will likely turn you around so that it is only natural that your faces are near each other, therefore giving him the opportunity to make out with you. Read More »
I’ve been single (and loving it) for a long, looong time. So long, in fact, that I’ve fallen into a rut. I go to class, I come home, I eat, I hang out, I go to the gym, I watch TV, etc. It’s the same stuff all the time, and for a long time I was OK with that – I was doing what I wanted to, when I wanted to. No one was telling me what parties to go to, where to celebrate my holidays, or who I could or could not sleep with.
But lately I have begun to re-evaluate things a bit (read: weigh myself) and I now realize that I went from being in a single-girl rut to hitting single-girl rock bottom.
What does rock bottom look like? I’ll show you: Read More »
There are a million things we wish we could ask our boyfriends and for one reason or another, we feel like it’s not appropriate to do so.
Is this normal and healthy or is it adding unnecessary strain to a relationship?
Is there such thing as knowing (or asking) too much?
We here at College Candy think that making what you feel or want known is one of the most important things in a relationship but we want to know what you think!
Should you ever ask the following questions to your significant other?
My brother met his wife on an internet dating site (and I heart her). I have countless family friends that have met their spouses on the internet. I have several close friends who are currently dating someone who they met online (and they are C.U.T.E.).
From the outside, I am a huge proponent of internet dating. The reason some of my ex-single friends found boy toys online? MY urging for them try it out!
“It’s really hard to meet people these days” I tell them.
“You know you aren’t going to meet the man/woman of your dreams at the bar”
“It is so not a loser thing to do anymore- soo many people I know met their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife online”
“Just TRY it”
And on and on I go.
Oh. My. God. I sound JUST like my mother! Read More »
Here at the College Candy offices, we watch a lot of TV. In our mindless daytime TV repertoire is everything you can ask for…if you’re asking for trash.
I love Maury Povich. He’s pushing 70 and he can still instill fear into the toughest baby-daddy. And that, my friends, is admirable. After watching 2 episodes a day for the last few weeks, I’ve noticed a pattern from Maury. He’s not just a talk show host. He’s a teacher willing to listen, educate, and then find our real fathers. And because he’s a veritable saint, there are many things we could all learn from Mr. Povich.
She has outlined some “dealbreakers” for us to go by when it comes to that guy you may or may not be interested in! Agree? Disagree? Let us know in the comments!
Between class, studying, reading (both for class and your necessary dose of College Candy reading of course), partying, drinking, partying, The Hills, Grey’s, and all other important daily activities in college life, leaves us students with no time to cook but no money to eat out. (Such problems we have- but seriously why is food SO expensive?!)
Cooking can be a huge money saver, calorie saver (we all love that) and now (yay) a huge time saver.
Check back each week for two quick and yummy recipes that will be ready in time for you to catch up with Lauren and Audrina(er- I mean get back to the library).
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in water, cumin, and beans. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 1/4 cup bean mixture into each tortilla. Top with 1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 1/2 tablespoons salsa, and 2 tablespoons avocado; roll up.
