Friday Faves: Dealing With Hangovers. Ughhh.
Unfortunately, there is no magic home remedy (although I can tell you that hungover medical students have been known to hook themselves up to bags of IV fluid, which I’ve been told works wonders!). To some degree, a hangover is just par for the course – one of those lessons the Universe likes to teach us to keep us out of trouble. But assuming the deed is done, what can you do to minimize your suffering? Here are a few tips:
Where’s The Weirdest Place You’ve Ever Woken Up?
College life can get pretty crazy — especially when alcohol gets involved. Especially when that alcohol comes from a cooler labeled Jungle Juice. So this week we were in the mood to hear some crazy “only in college” stories and asked you in our weekly Monday Facebook poll “where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever woken up?”

What’s The Worst Hangover Advice You’ve Ever Gotten?
The only thing worse than a horrible hangover is horrible hangover advice. Because the last thing you need when your head is pounding and you’re leaning over the toilet is someone telling you to chug 8 egg yolks, spin around backwards, and brush your hair 17 times.
Morning After: Okay, Maybe Wine Juice Boxes Aren’t a Good Idea
Wine is cheap in Europe, super cheap. I made that discovery early on during my semester abroad, and took advantage of it during my spring break in Italy. As all college students know, boxed wine in the States is a great invention which allows for portable drinking, but this idea has been one-upped in Europe, with the creation of what my friends and I would lovingly refer to as “wine boxes.”
Morning After: Never Drinking Again
It’s safe to say that my New Year’s Eve celebration got way out of control this year. This year my college friends and I decided to go all out for the night. It’s our last year of college and we barely even talk to our home friends anymore, so it made perfect sense that we have a mid-break reunion in the big city.
Friday Faves: The 6 Stages of Getting Drunk
It wouldn’t be a Friday night if you weren’t incredibly inebriated and on the verge of getting a record-breaking 10th DUI. But how did you get from your desk in the library to this high-speed car chase?
11 Things in College I’m Not Thankful For [GALLERY]
With study sessions fueled by Hot Pockets and Monster energy drinks, Thanksgiving has been the light at the end of this dark tunnel. Seeing family and friends, eating a hearty home-cooked meal, and doing absolutely nothing but sleeping and shopping for days in a row… it’s almost too good to be true.

Diagnosis: “Drunkorexia?”
To parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and writers of The Denver Post, Thank you so much for your concern about my supposed “drunkorexia,” which is apparently the deliberate decision to eat less food on days destined for drunken debauchery. Though this is not an official medical term, it has been noted in Colorado as a recent “growing trend” among college women.
We’ve All Been There: Procrastinating
Your 10 page paper on the complete works of Shakespeare is due in less than a week. You vowed to spend all of Sunday at the library working on it, but an impromptu beer pong tournament broke out at your house on Saturday night and you were so busy eating Oreo Cakesters and chugging Vitaminwater that the entire day passed you by.
Make #MorningRegrets Trend on Twitter
Last week our friends at USAToday College declared a Mean Girls quote day on Twitter. It was awesome and it got us to thinking what trending topic would work for us. Then like a jolt-from-your-stomach-after-that-unneeded-shot, it hit us. Morning regrets.
Don’t Be That Girl
No one likes a hot mess. Okay, well that’s not exactly true. We looove LocaLohan and anyone who…
Friday Faves: Drunken Apologies. An Open Letter
Dear Friends/Family/That Random Taxi Driver That Picked Me Up and Took Me Home After Finding Me Face First On The Sidewalk Sometimes I like to drink. A lot. And on those occasions I may or may not (okay, always) do stupid things. It is not me, you see; it is the alcohol.
10 Things We Learned from our Trip to Vegas
As you all might have heard (via our many drunken texts from the land of Sin), CollegeCandy was invited on a trip to Las Vegas last week courtesy of the fine people of Planet Hollywood and Harrah’s resorts. We always knew we had to hit up the Vegas strip, so we accepted. And then did cartwheels around the office.
Think Before You Tag: 7 Photos That Don’t Belong on Facebook
It happens every day. You log onto Facebook and are confronted with a stream of photos and status updates. Megan’s going to the mall. Ben’s fishing with his dad. Oh, and what’s this? Chris put his dog in boxers and made it drink beer out of a Frisbee last night. Here’s hoping he isn’t friends with anyone who works for the ASPCA.
Jersey Shore: Guidos Teach Me Life Lessons
After discovering that Justin Timberlake’s restaurant, Southern Hospitality in NYC serves fried pickles, I obviously dragged my roommate, whom I lovingly refer to as JWowww, before last night’s new episode of Jersey Shore. Snooki was right: they totally take pickles to the next level. And leave me completely nauseous and unable to fistpump for the rest of the night.
Duke It Out: Should Colleges Curb Drinking?
From Stanford to Florida State there are certain traditions that hold true in college across the country – homecoming, welcome week craziness, wearing flip flops in the shower, and getting up close and personal with your toilet after way too many shots on Friday night. College drinking has been a hot button issue for a long time, and there’s always been the question of who should step up and be responsible for it.
