Today is Friday, October 2nd. That means you only have 4 days to enter CollegeCandy’s totally awesome laptop contest. And with a full two days of weekend-ness ahead of you, it’s the perfect time to get workin’!

All you need to do is come up with an innovative way to tell people about CC, then document your publicity campaign by taking a few photos of it.

If you’re stumped, here are a few suggestions that might help get your creative juices flowing: Read More »

Do you want a sweet, shiny new laptop?
Do you love CollegeCandy with all your heart and soul?
Do you want to express that love and get a laptop in return?

Read on, girlfriend. Read on.

If you were one of the many people that didn’t get to take home a laptop in our last giveaway, now’s your chance. CollegeCandy got our hands on one last HP DV2 mini notebook and we’re ready to hand it out to one creative, hard working and worthy CollegeCandy reader.

The time has come.

It is finally time to announce the winner of CollegeCandy’s Back-To-School Double Notebook Giveaway. Man, that’s a mouthful. (That’s what she said.)

There were a lot of people out there with some totally craptastic computers, so we really do feel bad that we don’t have hundreds of these things to give away. But we don’t. And, seeing how cheap the HP DV2 is, it really shouldn’t take that long for all of you to save up (return those beer cans, people!) and bring one home for yourself.

But that’s besides the point. It’s time to announce the winner. And it is:

Wait for it.

A laptop, a weekend vacation, a TV, an entire new wardrobe…$700 can sure get you a lot. But it almost can’t get you a pair of kicks. That is, if you want Kanye’s newest line of Louis Vuitton sneaks that cost $700 (tax not included).

Yes, seven. hundred. freaking. dollars.

So what is so special about these shoes that they would cost more than my entire summer wardrobe? (What? I shop at Target…) I mean there’s gotta be something, right? Maybe a built in trampoline or secret compartment full of diamonds?

Nope!

They come in literally every color and style (so do my Nike Shox, and I’m pretty sure those don’t come close to $700),  and they are from Louis Vuitton (which is pretty cool, I guess). And Kanye made them, so they must be the best shoes in the history of the world. At least according to him.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not buyin’ it (literally). I’m pretty sure nothing going on your feet is worth that much money. Unless, of course, these things actually let me walk in Kanye’s shoes. Since they don’t, I’ll be spending my money much more wisely: on a new laptop.
