The CollegeCandy team is super excited to present its brand new look! After months of planning and designing, we couldn’t be happier with way the new site turned out. And we get it. Sometimes change is scary. We all cringe every time Facebook tells you have a month left with the current layout before they drastically change your stalker platform yet again. We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for you. If you’re not quite ready for the new homepage with all its bells and whistles, go ahead and click on the ‘Blog View’ tab in the navigation bar.

For those of you ready to embrace the new change, we’ve put together a little how-t0 navigate the new site guide to walk you through all of the basic changes. The first question we generally receive is, “Where do I look first?” This answer depends on what you feel like reading! Let’s start with the left column:

This column may look a lot different from the blog view you’re used to on the old site, but it works exactly the same way. Every story we write that day will filter down that column in chronological order. This is where to look for breaking news and the latest trending topics! Click on the ‘More Stories’ button at the bottom for the full blog roll. Below this you will find a fun, new ‘Who Wore It Best’ reader poll.

This is your chance to take part in the content generated on the site. Vote on which celebrity pulled of the look with more style, and see what the rest of our readers thought instantly! If you then look to the middle column, you’ll see a brand new rotating story marquee:

This column is your go-to destination for the most popular stories on the site. The rotating marquee includes stories curated by the CollegeCandy editors in order to give you the best of what’s happening on our site each week. Our favorite stories and top headlines from will live here for you to access easily. Below that lives our ‘Top Stories’ section. This area is actually selected by YOU! These articles have had the most views on our site–reader favorites so to speak. If you want great tips on all things college girl related, this is your destination!

Below the Top Stories is one of our favorite new sections: Horoscopes! Click on your sign to read your horoscope–perfectly tailored to the busy college girl. The best part? It’s updated daily! On Friday you get the scoop for the entire weekend, so be sure to check ‘em out before you embark on upcoming shenanigans.

Below the horoscopes are our ‘Top Galleries’ section. Again, these are selected based on readership, so you can be sure they are everyone’s favorites!

If you move to the right column of the page, you’ll find our video box. This box contains three tabs that each contain their own video.

The ‘What’s Hot’ tab will be a funny, trending or viral video we found online and think you absolutely have to see. The ‘Beauty’ tab is done by our very own CollegeCandy Junior Editor, Caitlin Corsetti. This is her live blog that brings you the latest tips and tricks from quick and loose up-dos to light smokey eyes. The ‘Ask CC’ tab is also produced in house! Got a roommate problem that’s really bugging you? Click this tab for advice on how to successfully live with roommates in small spaces! Because we’ve all been there…a few times. Below our video box is another new poll!

Here you can vote on a variety of things including: This or That, Hot or Hot Mess, and Love It or Hate It. We will use the results of your votes in our upcoming style stories, so let us know what you like!

We really hope you all like the new site! Let us know what you think below!

Attention: fame-whores, fashionistas, brainiacs, news buffs, class clowns, know-it-alls, mind readers, man readers, good girls, bad girls and everyone in between.

Here at College Candy, we’re looking for a few good men women. See, we had this idea. We’ve cooked up six new video segments we’ll be debuting over the coming months. They’re going to be brilliant and amazing and funny and you should be really, really excited, but we have one small problem. Actually, it’s a kinda huge problem. We need some equally brilliant and amazing and funny readers to jump in front of the camera and play host.

That’s right- we’re giving you the wheel on these projects. It’s going to be your opinions, your personality, your campus, your friends (if you want). So you understand why we can’t just hand this off to anyone, right? Ah yes, of course there was going to be a catch! Keep reading to find out which new video series need a voice and how you can apply to become the newest member of the (oh-so-fab) CollegeCandy fam.

My Dear, Dear CollegeCandy Readers,

I graduated college with a degree in Secondary Education. Yes, at some point (probably after 12 games of beer pong) I thought it would be a good idea to spend my life with high school brats. You can imagine why that didn’t pan out for me…. After doin’ the whole graduation thang (for which I was horribly hungover and still wearing my outfit from the night before), I did what any lost/confused/depressed 22-year-old girl would do: I packed up all my stuff and moved to New York City to pursue my dream of writing.

My parents didn’t support it and, unlike the rest of my friends, refused to support me. But I didn’t let that stop me. I knew I would forever regret it if I didn’t at least try. The whole thing was crazy; I was moving to the most expensive city on earth with no job, no plan and no money. But the fear of failing (and having to prove my parents right) fueled me, and a mere 2 months later, I’d landed a job.

And not just any job. An amazing job.
I was hired right here at CollegeCandy.

For the past three years I’ve spent my days working with the most phenomenal college writers, producing the most phenomenal college content. My job requires me to read gossip blogs, to watch horrible reality TV and to share graphic details of my cursed dating life. It’s insane that someone has been paying me to have so much fun, especially when the rest of my friends work tirelessly for ungrateful bosses doing mind-numbing work.

But now it’s time for me to move on; to take the skills I’ve acquired and try something totally new and different. To put my passions into a new company in a new position. And so today is my last day as the Editor in Chief of CollegeCandy.

I am incredibly grateful for the time I’ve spent here (despite the many commenters calling me a whore, a slut, an insensitive a-hole, and a whole lot of other things I’d rather not list), not only because every day was an exciting new adventure, but for the many life-altering lessons I’ve learned. So taking a cue from Oprah, I’m going to use my last post to impart some great wisdom on you all. Below, the 4 biggest lessons I’ve learned at CollegeCandy:

After months and months of planning, tasting and tasting some more, we at CollegeCandy HQ are so excited to present to you: CollegeCandy Candy. It’s been our dream since the beginning of this here website to create a treat that tastes like college. Because what says college better than something sticky, sweet and bad for you?

And we’ve finally done it! And no one got hurt! (Well, except that time Jenni got a lollipop stuck in her hair. That’s what she gets for trying to use it as a tequila chaser….) And now it’s time for you to sample (and love) our tasty creations!

These lollipops, made in the good ole’ U.S.A., are available in 7 awesome flavors: Read More »

WELCOME TO OUR BIRTHDAY PARTY!

We’re officially four years old and we couldn’t be happier.  Over the past four years we’ve gone from a teeny-tiny little blog struggling to get visitors to becoming the LARGEST blog out there for college women. (Sorta like how Suri went from pacifiers to high heels….) Not to sound cocky, but GO US! Okay we’re done patting ourselves on our backs. Intern, stop rubbing my feet and start patting me on the back, will ya?

Where was I? Oh, right. Our birthday party. Anyways, we couldn’t have gotten where we are today without ALL OF YOU! And that’s why we’re celebrating our big day by giving back to you.

Earlier this week we asked you to tell us (via Facebook) what your favorite CollegeCandy post is in the world — and you guys came out strong with a variety of awesome content (some we didn’t even remember!). So instead of sending you a slice of cake in the mail, we’re gonna eat it ourselves delivering a gift to you all day long.

Our top ten most-liked CollegeCandy blogs ever! Read More »

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, Facebook…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like We Are Hunted, Paper Back Swap and Stingy Campus) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]

I like reading blogs, but sometimes it can be really obnoxious to log on to each site separately (especially when it’s not updated very often) and to try to remember web addresses.

I wanted to introduce all of you to Bloglovin, my new obsession. It’s helps simplify my blog reading by allowing me to read all blogs in one place (like Google Reader), but takes it further by helping keep track of which ones you’ve already read and presenting it all in a simple, clean, reader-friendly interface.

No, we’re not kidding. Unlike Betty White, we at CollegeCandy don’t think Facebook is a waste of time. (And unlike my dad, we don’t think it’s called ‘SpaceBook,’ but I digress.) We’re FB addicts. We understand the obsession. We know that Facebook is a treasure chest of information and perusing it is a better use of our time than studying or working out or interacting with people in the flesh.

But while there’s already so much that can be gained from the hours upon hours we all spend on there, we’d like to reward you even more.

With money.
Dinero.
The green stuff.
Cashola.
Benjamins.

Here’s the deal. As many of you already know, CollegeCandy’s got a Facebook Fan Page (which may or may not have been created to give us a reason to FB-stalk during the work day…). We’ve already got nearly 5,000 amazing adoring fans but we want more.

And we’re leaving that up to you, our popular pals! Read More »
