You’ve Been De-Friended

jesus friend requestIt’s about that time for me.

I am going to have a sit down with my Facebook friends list and carefully consider who belongs there, who does not, and which family members need to be moved to the “Limited Profile” list. Yes, de-friending is a vicious process, but it has to be done in order to make way for new and more important friendships. Read: the people with the most exciting photos to stalk.

Anyway, as I sit here cutting out some of my 423 friends, these are a few of the people whom I’ve made dust in my virtual wind.

The Friend Who Desperately Wants You To Join YoVille
Facebook applications can be great. Who doesn’t enjoy a game of Scrabulous? But being bombarded with requests to join your farm or garden or pirate ship isn’t helping out your chances of remaining friends with me come clean-up time. Bye-bye application-addict. We’re ignoring you once and for all.

The Constant Status-Updater

Tuesday’s College Blogger Shout Out

shout.jpgIt’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.
