The Weekly Ten: Best of Back-To-School
Yes, we know summertime can be oh-so-sweet, but now it’s August and summer’s winding down with school just around the corner. As much as summer rules, from the beach to margaritas, there are so many perks to heading back to campus and gearing up for classes.
Being Grown Up Has Its Perks
God, the kiddies sure do have it made. They have no worries other than what cartoon they will watch after school or what Snack Pack they’ll throw in their lunchbox. Their homework consists of 10 math problems and they merely have to sit at a table to be fed a full, delicious home cooked meal.

Single. For The First Time In a Long Time

Single. Wait, Not Anymore.

We scour Facebook for photos of last night’s hook-up. We share all the details with our friends over Bloody Marys and Sunday brunch. As much as it pains it to say this, maybe we should…stop.
5 Best Things About the Fourth of July
Ahhh, Fourth of July. It’s not a holiday that carries the burden of gift exchange, and you don’t feel guilty if you don’t spend it with your family. Is that why it’s one of the best days to celebrate?

The CC Weekly Weigh In: We’re Free!
We have a lot of freedom here in the wonderful U.S.A. Freedom that people around the world would die for. Freedom that people around the world do die for. But do we appreciate that freedom? Not as much as we should. In fact, being that we’ve been raised to be independent and fearless females, there are a lot of freedoms we have that we don’t recognize often enough.
The CC Weekly Weigh In: We Love College
Here’s a secret: the editors of CollegeCandy are not in college anymore. And we cry about it every day. Seriously.
