It’s Dr. Seuss’ birthday today! If he were still alive, he would be 108 today. No children’s author is quite as beloved as Dr. Seuss, and for good reason. His books are funny, clever, sweet, and easy to read. I grew up with Dr. Seuss stories, and I can still recite long sections of some of them. But just like Disney movies, the older you get, the more things you pick up on that you never noticed as a kid. Like that all of his characters look strangely phallic?  And it turns out there are a few scandalous lines in our most beloved Dr. Seuss books. Here’s the sexual innuendo in Dr. Seuss that you never noticed… until today.

She is “that person” who starts dancing at a party when everyone else is standing around, and if there were a Facebook stalking Olympics, she would be a gold medalist.

CollegeCandies, today is a very special day.

Today is the birthday of not one monumental figure in pop culture, but two. Because not only is today the 17th birthday of Justin “everyone freaks out when he cuts his hair” Bieber, it’s also the birthday of everyone’s favorite childhood author, Dr. Seuss. Yes, the man who brought you The Cat in the Hat was born on the very same day as the boy who brought you “Somebody to Love.” So who to celebrate? Which one will get the coveted CollegeCandy celebration?

Well, we just couldn’t choose. So instead we came up with a way to honor both of these legends. In honor of Dr. Seuss I will be presenting you lovely ladies with a poem, but in order to bestow upon Bieber the honor that he deserves, that poem will be about him. So ladies, may I present, for you enjoyment, Oh The Places You Can Find a Bieber Fan

March is here! More importantly, Spring Break is here!!! And even though most of us can’t wait to get off campus and onto the beach, there are a couple more reasons why I love this month of March.

1) Red Cross Month

Obama’s Presidential Proclamation last Friday marked the 66th time March has been declared Red Cross Month, and in honor of it, the American Red Cross will launch the first national Change A Life contest, running from March 2-16 (so enter now!) Just go to RedCross.org and share your story of how the Red Cross has changed your life or someone else’s life, and you could win a trip for two to Washington D.C. to join Keith Urban on his Escape Together world tour concert!

2) Rebounding

In celebration of Red Cross Month, I’m going to introduce you to a new form of the rebound – not just for sex, basketball, or even the emotional one anymore. I’m talking about the heart-healthy, original pure form of the rebound: on a trampoline. It’s quoted by NASA as “the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man,” and you can do it at home whilst watching TV! Unlike jogging, which for many people can cause stress on the joints, rebounding is a zero-impact exercise and is suitable for all ages and abilities. Read More »
