What are you doing tonight?

If you’re in New York City (or close enough to make it there in the next 5 hours) and don’t live under a rock, then you are already planning to party it up with CollegeCandy. And if it wasn’t on your Hump Day agenda, it’s not too late to pencil (no, permanent marker) it in.

There will be drinks.
There will be music.
There will be a lot of pretty ridonkulous (read: rad, tubular, fantastico) prizes.
And there will be a whole slew of the very talented, witty and hilarious writers who provide you with endless entertainment daily.

So, you in?

RSVP here to get on the list, then join us for the some drinkies.
We’ll be the ladies double fisting Mojitos in the corner.

See ya there!

Have you heard? CollegeCandy is throwing a party in New York City on July 29th. There’s gonna be free drinks, free food and, of course, all the coolest CollegeCandy writers are gonna be there (well, the ones who are over 21, at least).

Are you?

Sure, you may not be in New York City right now, but there is a thing called an airplane, you know. And, seeing the sick raffle prizes you’ll have an opportunity to win, you may want to hop online to Orbitz and book your ticket ASAP.

Here is just a taste of what we’ll be raffling off come July 29th: Read More »

This week was pretty rad, what with so much geek flying all over the place.  The new Harry Potter movie is out and I’m extremely excited (I may not be the only one).  I’m almost to the point where I want to don a cape, grab a wand and do my best English accent (best = horrific).  Instead of going out to buy a brand new cape, I’ll stick with what I have in my closet…and that’s leggings.  Luckily, they go with everything.  Even capes.

Crocs, however, go with nothing and I’m happy to see they’re dying a quick death.  What will we do, now that Crocs are dying and we have space in our closet for more fabulous accessories?  Well, get a vagina wig, of course!  Those things are incredible.  I’m even considering getting one specially made (complete with sequins and bright pink faux fur) for the College Candy party later this month.  We’ll see…

As excited as I am about the fabulousness that will be the College Candy party, I’m nervous about bringing a date.  Every time I start seeing a guy, I get all tangled up in cryptic text messages.  And that stupid (GLORIOUS) book/movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, has apparently ruined me for life, so even if I had hope before, I’ll talk myself out of it now.  Maybe some well-timed Harry Potter pick-up lines can save me!  Or, in the case of Jessica Simpson, maybe not.

Maybe I should just give up sex entirely and take a platonic guy bestie.  Then I can use him as a wing man/drink server.  You never know when a guy friend can turn into a boyfriend.  Either way, I’ll have a good time!

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.

Check out our invite and RSVP for a night of total fabulosity.
We’ll be there, will you??

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….

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

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.

It’s been awhile since we’ve shouted out to some talented college bloggers out there. Sorry about that, people. Things have been pretty busy around here what with spending hours layering on the scarves just to go outside for a coffee run, and the rest of our day spent mustering up the energy to get to the gym.

Life in the CollegeCandy office is grueling.

Anyways, here are a few of our latest faves in the college blogging world. These talented bloggers make us laugh, which is pretty much what we look for in a good blog. Thought provoking articles and hard hitting journalism may be desired by some, but around here we just want to laugh.

And drink beer.

Can your blogs get us beer? Send em over.

1. Not Drugs: It’s not drugs, but it’s still sorta addicting. Like we imagine crack would be.

2. Column5blog: These kids are smart and funny, a lethal combination. And by lethal we mean awesome.

3. THE College Blog: We pretty much only love these guys because they think they are THE place to get college info. (Um, have you heard of us?) But they do have some good shiz going on.

4. In Blog We Trust: This girl is funny. We want to be her Facebook friend.

It’s coming. Get ready.

So, it’s March.

In like a lion, out like a lamb…still kinda winter, but almost spring…warmish days, but cold nights…basically, March is a cocktease. And we all know that no one likes a cocktease.

As you attempt to focus on the oncoming warmth, fight the urge to wear you sandals and t-shirts when it’s still 50 degrees out (and those of you who actually go through with it, you’re not fooling anyone in your practiced nonchalance. We all know you’re freezing), and get ready to deal with the mindf&%ck that are finals, just know that CollegeCandy is right there with you—ready to lift those weary spirits with witty witticisms and opinionated opinions.

If you like what you’ve been reading (we’ve gotten like 99867 new writers, and it’s fantastic), and feel like telling a few rad girls about us, we’d be wicked grateful. Our continued success in this crazy jungle that is cyberspace is basically in your hands, and the more wonderful readers we have, the more wonderful things will happen!

That being said, let us know in the comments below what you’d like to see more of, if you have any story ideas, and what we should continue to do. Know ways for us to increase our readers? Want to help us get advertised in your school? Want to be our friend on Facebook?

Thanks again for being such wonderful ladies, readers. And remember…strength, confidence, and badassness always does a body good!

Zac Efron has fans. And some of them may have rabies.

Given the obscene amount of comments (perhaps the most CC has ever received on one article? At least with the most spelling mistakes) connected to my first blog about this 17-year-old sugar coated star, I’m a little afraid to have another go.

But what the hell. I’m a troublemaker.

According to half a dozen angry rants, I don’t know Zac at all, he’s an amazing actor, his body just oozes hotness, and anyone who comes close to insulting him is wasting the world’s time—because he is loved by all.

So here’s what I did. I held my breath, typed his name into Google, and ventured out onto the Internet Superhighway to find out about all things Efron. Would recent pictures prove to me that he is indeed hotter than the sun? After reading a few interviews, would I be convinced of his supposed saintly goodness? And would I ever find out who Vanessa Hudgens was?

I’ll tell you one thing, wax figure or not, Z. Efron has got more websites devoted to him than Jenna Jameson (approximately. I didn’t actually do the math). He has certifiably grabbed the Tween market in two well manicured hands, and as long as he’s attached to Disney and stays away from the coke, seems destined to make little girls weep from joy for years.

But as a 24-year-old woman, I still don’t get it. I just don’t. And you know what, I don’t think I’m supposed to. Read More »
