"Marijuana is a gateway drug, honey. It will kill you."

It wasn’t until 3 years ago, at the age of 23, that I realized that a red ring won’t show up around you if you pee in my parents’ pool. I had been living in that house and swimming in that pool since the ripe age of 6, running into the freezing cold basement and struggling to pull a wet one-piece up over my ass whenever I had to pee, and it took me 17 years to learn that my parents had been lying to me all along.

Help Us Find the Hottest Professors in the Country!

hottie.jpgDo you have a super hot professor? You know, one that makes it hard to concentrate on what he’s saying because you’re busy imagining what he looks like under that cardigan sweater? The kind that makes you want to get up every morning, get dressed (in someting low cut) and get to class early to secure a front row seat? The one that is better suited to be lying on a bear skin rug – naked – on the pages of GQ instead of lecturing on Organic Chemistry?

If so, we need your help!

CollegeCandy is teaming up with Lemondrop to find the hottest professors in the country. Yeah, yeah – they may be a rare breed, but we know there are a few out there!

If you know of any drool-worthy professors, leave us a comment with the professor’s name and school. And if you have a picture (either from your school’s site or if you can sneakily snap one during class), send it to the editors: lauren@collegecandy.com.

We can’t wait to see what you’ve got.

(Note: we make no promises regarding the use of these pictures for our own personal drool-session.)
