If it’s one thing we’ve learned here at CC, it’s that all people are fascinating (Yes, even your econ professor). Let’s face it – people love to glimpse into the lives of other people. Disagree? Then please explain why you’re currently looking at your friend’s brother’s girlfriend’s cousin’s photos on Facebook. Or reading about the latest Whitney/Jay dramz in this weeks’ tabloids. Yeah we thought so.

Fact is we connect to others by learning about them. And everyone has something to share (even if it a story about an embarassing moment involving you, a banana and your mom). So to give you yet another reason to procrastinate, we started ‘The Five Questions We Ask Everyone’ (and five just for that one person) because we know whether we’re schmoozing with an A- list celeb or your local bartender, you’ll be equally entertained.

Drew Pinsky, better known as Dr. Drew, is the doctor of our generation. From answering outrageous sex questions on Loveline to discussing sex with students and their parents, Dr. Drew has really been our go-to for all things intimate. This man knows it all, which is why we decided to sit down with him to ask a few important questions. Oh, and some not-so-important ones. Read More »

I am currently staring at four W2′s, which are piled neatly on my desk next to my laptop. My dad has informed me that two more are at my parent’s house, and I need to call the restaurant I worked at last spring because I’m pretty sure they don’t have my current address. Oh, and I’m expecting at least three 1099′s for freelance work.

It’s not that I change jobs like I change my underwear. Last spring, I waited tables and worked for a travel website on my days “off.” I also had one week in January where I was paid for work study from the Fall ’07 semester. Over the summer, I worked Summerstock at a theater. Last semester, I had a paid internship, and I did marketing work for a parent company, so each of the branches I marketed for are considered a separate entity.

What the hell am I going to do? You might be asking yourself the same thing, even if you’ve only held a normal number of jobs (one, two… three?) in the past year. I mean, all the pointless Gen Eds they make us take, and none of them are “Filing Your Taxes 101.” Don’t worry. If the IRS expected everyone to file their taxes on their own, well… it would be like George W. getting reelected.

Here are a few resources I’ve come across as I’ve begun my slow descent into the Hell that is my personal tax season. Feel free to share any other links that you’ve come across. We all want to make it out of college without being arrested for tax fraud. Read More »

Getting jobs/accepted to grad school is harder than ever. There is so much competition these days that good grades and being Sorority president are not enough anymore. It is all about the internships.

Need an internship? Don’t know where to start/how to find one/what the hell an internship even is? We are here to help.

Well, not us, but someone who knows this stuff.

Lauren Berger, an internship connosiuer will be coming to CollegeCandy to share her expertise with you. Why Lauren? What does she know? Well, this is what she has to say:

Internships were my favorite part of college. I was completely bored in the classroom. I was a communications major. How many times can you learn about the different communication models ? Blah, Blah, Blah. Internships were my window into the real-world – my way of peaking into the future. I got to experience real people, real experiences, real situations, real tasks, real challenges, and REAL OPPORTUNITIES. I am called “The Intern Queen” because I had 15 internships in college. That is why I am so passionate about internships today; I need to educate current students about the importance of internships.

Fifteen!? Good God. This woman knows her stuff. The Intern Queen even has a website devoted to helping you find your dream internship! So, look out; this chick knows everything there is to know and she is gonna share it with you!
