Getting dressed to go to class is a breeze. Sweats? Check. Hoodie? Check. Uggs? Check. But getting dressed to go to a party is a whole different story. Your full closet never seems to have anything you want to wear! That doesn’t mean you should lose hope, give up and stop going out.

Instead check out CollegeFashion’s latest post on what to wear and bring to a college party, plus three cute fall-appropriate college party outfit ideas. Click here to see your cute campus-approved looks!

PARTY FOUL!

Don’t act like you haven’t heard it before. According to Urban Dictionary, it’s “something socially unacceptable done in a social gathering.” For those of us who have been in the presence of a party foul or may have accidentally committed one ourselves, we know that they’re much more than that.

Thanks to digital cameras, your unfortunate lack of judgment will probably be plastered all over the Internet before you even have the chance to pull your head out of the toilet the next morning. But no matter how bad things get for you, just thank your lucky stars that you’ve never committed any of these…

You haven’t, right?

I’m all for theme-parties but this story out of the University of Pennsylvania is ridiculous. Having attended almost as many frat parties as classes during my four years, I can tell you that these kids don’t know the first thing about how to throw a great rager. As a wise and learned scholar in the art of drinking, I feel compelled to tell these ivy-kids what not to do, just in case they get caught again.

1. Live stock of any kind should be avoided. Sure there’s bound to be the odd misogynistic pig of the Frat boy persuasion, but in general things like camels should not be making an appearance at your party. Not only is it cruel to the animal, but after an hour or two, the odor is going to be cruel to everyone else.

2. Underage girls. They’re young and don’t know any better… which is great if you can get them in your room, but odds are they’ll end up getting sick in the bathroom from being too ambitious with shots. Not to mention, getting caught serving alcohol to minors is a serious offense. Let’s stick to the mature, seasoned upperclassmen and let the freshman drink where they’re supposed to: in the dorms.

3. Unmanned jungle juice. You smart ladies don’t accept drinks from guys you don’t know, or when you can’t see exactly what goes into it, so why should the party drink of choice be any different? If no one’s watching the jungle juice you could be in serious trouble. If you thought the prom punch getting spiked was a bad idea, consider the consequences of tons of girls drinking from the same, potentially roofied, beverage. That, by the way, was probably mixed in a dirty trash can. Shambles, much? Read More »

There are three things I need for a good party night: a few shots of cheap vodka, a cute outfit and the perfect party companions. And I’ve done a good job rounding up the three, if I do say so myself. Like most college girls, I’ve perfected the art of the party and have plenty of Facebook photos to prove it.

But after awhile, anyone would get sick of Mohawk vodka, the 27 cute black tops in her closet and dancing to the Black Eyed Peas with the same people over and over again. I need something to spice things up a bit, and nothing is spicier than some celebrity wingpeople. (Besides Tobasco sauce, which is not a good idea for a shot. Just trust me.)

So who would I want to share a fish bowl with? Here are the 10 celebrities guaranteed to be a good time:

Throwing the perfect house party can be a lot of work and a lot more stress than most people are willing to admit.  How much alcohol should you buy?  Who should you invite?  Is it worth it to make Jello Shots? Will the masking tape on the cupboards really keep people out?

While we can’t predict if your invitees will go gaga over a hand-carved ice luge, we can give you the answers to throwing an absolutely awesome house party.

1. Invest in a variety of alcohol…and lots of it

Nothing says lame party like the house that runs out of alcohol before midnight.  People at parties have this great habit of making a drink, holding onto it for five minutes, and then forgetting about their cup and pouring another drink.  Therefore, buy more.  It is absolutely okay to get cheap vodka and cheap rum if that means that more people can drink it.  You and your friends will have the leftover alcohol to use for the rest of the year.  If you need a guide, there are 17 shots in a fifth and 40 shots in handle.

2. Don’t forget the beer!

Even if you aren’t a beer drinker, a party without a keg means no flip cup, no beer pong, and a larger chance that someone will throw up in your house, since hard alcohol drinks will get people drunk faster than beer.  Set up the keg in the corner somewhere, and make sure you have lots of cups.

Everyone secretly wants to be famous. Maybe you want to be known for your intelligence and take over the world, like Mark Zuckerburg did with Facebook. Maybe you’re the type that wants to fake-bake yourself so orange that you get mistaken for an oompa loompa, tease the s!#t out of your hair to create a bulging mass on the top of your head, and make yourself a common household name for your skanky ways like Snooki did.  Or, maybe you’ll “accidentally” get caught on camera doing what you do best and end up making a fortune off of it, like Paris Hilton did.

Being famous seems pretty fabulous, and if you want to get up to the level of Mark, ole’ Snooks, or even Paris, who’s always on top in her video and off, college is the place to start.  If you think running for office, being involved in multiple organizations, or leading your sorority is going to get you famous, it’s not. Don’t be a fool. To get your 15 minutes of fame, you’re going to need to step it up. If you do, those 15 minutes could turn into much more. Like your very own, crappy reality television show.

Streak.
The most epic of all ways to get your 15 minutes of fame in college is to go streaking. I’m not talking about drinking a few too many then running down your street at 3:00 in the morning when no one’s around. I’m talkin’ leaving your clothes on the sidelines of the biggest basketball game of the season and running across the court. You may end up going to jail, but you’ll look darn good in your mug shots.

It’s no secret that alcohol changes people. After a night of drinking, we’re often surprised by what we may or may not have done during a night of debauchery. Oftentimes we end up with great stories, but there are also those nights that leave us wondering how the hell we ended up on a stranger’s couch with only one shoe, a purse full of ping pong balls, and 17 new phone numbers in our phone (all listed under names like, “bathroom dude,” “cigarette guy,” and “hgjb52″) .

The truth is, alcohol lowers our inhibitions…and standards…for everything.  We do things when we’re drinking that we’d never, ever, in a million years consider when we’re sober (like mixing ranch dressing and brownies).

Here are five of the most common things that are oddly tolerable – and even preferred – when the booze is flowing through our systems: Read More »

It wouldn’t be a Friday night if you weren’t incredibly inebriated and on the verge of getting a record-breaking 10th DUI. But how did you get from your desk in the library to this high-speed car chase? We’ve  cracked the code to figuring out how you went from slowly sipping a beer to walking around the bar drinking the bar’s signature tornado-tini out of a cowboy boot.

Sober
All you wanted to do tonight was go home, catch up on your NSFW links, and fall asleep. But your stupid friends dragged you out to happy hour. But seriously, you’re just having one drink and going home. And your friends are crazy if they think you’re going to laugh at their jokes and engage in polite conversation.

Buzzed
You know what? It’s Friday night and it’s kinda stupid to leave the bar now that your beer goggles are just getting into focus. Why not order a few more beers, take a couple shots, and find out just how drunk you have to be to willingly take home your morbidly obese T.A from last semester. Read More »

[Everyone’s got a morning after story (though most don't involve the walk of shame and someone's dad) and we wanna hear yours! Send it over to us and we’ll post it – anonymously, of course – right here!]

“Chug! Chug! Chug!” was all I heard as I funneled my Natty Light. I was standing on a table (don’t judge) at the dirtiest best frat house on campus, my head tilted back, guzzling down that cheap beer like it was going out of style. (Editor’s Note: Was Natty Light ever in style?) When I was done, I jumped off the table, did a little curtsy and high fived a couple boys, before grabbing my roommate by the arm and dragging her toward the bathroom.

That being my 5th (or 6th? 7th?) beer of the night, it had gone straight through me and there was no way I was going to wait in that bathroom line all by myself.

The line was long but I didn’t mind. It gave me plenty of time to soak up all the “you go girl”s and “you’ve got mad chugging skills, woman”s that came my way. I smiled, blushed and crossed my legs to keep my broken seal from dripping down my legs.

When it was finally my turn, my roomie and I rushed in so I could relive my bladder and dissect my arch enemy’s truly hideous outfit choice for the night (the girl was wearing a skirt so short I could see if she was ovulating….. needless to say, there was plenty to talk about). We were so caught up in our conversation (and perhaps taking a few funny bathroom pics) that we ignored the angry knocks on the door (as well as the angry, “what are you doing in there, pooping?”) and took our own sweet time.

Whether you see it in the movies, hear it from your peers or participate in it yourself, it is a generally understood fact that college students like to party. Some adopt the habit during their first Halloween away from home and hold tightly onto it well into their twenties, while others pick it up only between midterm exams. Either way, it happens; it’s been happening and it probably will continue to happen, as long as there are weekend evenings and boring classes and closet doors that prop sideways into perfectly proportioned beer pong tables.

So why were a few neighboring families of Northwestern University so shocked to discover students who “parked themselves on a neighbor’s parkway for a little love fest” or are “hollering about “Bl** J*bs”? Sure, this behavior isn’t acceptable in a world where mothers and fathers and their eight year-old daughters are riding their bicycles to church services on Saturday evenings. But when you’re living in the midst of a university, it should be almost be expected that this will happen.
