While we may not like all of them, rules exist for a reason. They keep us safe, they keep us sane, they keep some sort of order in this world of ours. And that applies to college campuses, too. There are all sorts of rules that we live by: no food in the library, no drinking in the dorms, no sex in the stacks.

But with all the attention given to those scoundrels who dare bring a Diet Coke into the ‘brary, those university officials missed a few important rules. The kind that would benefit everyone, allowing all of us to be more successful in our studies and more productive members of society.

We didn’t forget about them, though, so we at CollegeCandy are starting a revolution. Join us on our quest to establish some new campus rules and rid our classrooms of evil… and PDA.  Read More »

The beginning of another fall semester is upon us, and for many that means packing up all your stuff and relocating to a new state. A lot of change can come with uprooting your life: a new climate to dress for, a new roommate to deal with and cafeteria food to adjust to.

With everything you have to worry about, I bet you never even considered the fact that you might have news laws to abide by. That’s right: laws do differ from state to state and some of them are pretty surprising. So here at CollegeCandy we thought we’d help you out by letting you in on some interesting laws that we have recently discovered. The hard way.

In Alabama, it is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

In Blythe, California you are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own at least two cows. (Leave this trend at home, girls, unless you plan to share your 12X12 box with some livestock.)

In Florida, you may not fart in a public place after 6 PM.

In Maryland, it is a violation of city code to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within one week of the Easter holiday.

In New Hampshire, you may not tap your feet, nod your head, or in any way keep time to the music in a tavern, restaurant, or café.

In New Jersey, you cannot pump your own gas. (They’re all about the class in Jersey. Perhaps we can have some hors d’oeuvres delivered curbside while we wait?) Read More »
