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 »

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.

Happy New Year, everyone! Whether you love New Year’s Eve or you totally hate it, the coming of a new year is exciting! New beginnings, clean slate, yada yada yada…

The last week of 2008 was quite busy for us. We ended the year with a bang (literally), before we rang in 2009 in style.

Just like the last week of any year, we spent the past 7 days reflecting on 2008. The best fashion, the biggest things that happened, and all the things that we learned. We also started looking forward to 2009: we made resolutions (that we will most likely break in 2 weeks), and considered other options that we just know aren’t going to happen.

Maybe we should have just set some more…er… realistic goals for the year.

Like cozying up on the couch with some warm cocktails and episodes of Bromance and The City on the DVR. Or, of course, a little CC TV.
