Julia Roberts, where you been girl?! For a while, you were the hottest mama in Hollywood. Your megawatt smile, great acting chops and beachy waves won us over (and also made us intensely jealous), then out of nowhere, you disappeared. Poof! You had to go get married and have babies…twins and all. We had to salvage what we can and pretend we were happy for you. But thank god you’re back. We’ve really missed you.

In honor of your return to the silver screen as Elizabeth Gilbert in the movie adaptation of the book, “Eat Pray Love” (which is, BTW, honestly the best soul-searching summer read ever), we here at CollegeCandy like to pay homage to your top 5 roles. No matter who or what you played, from a classy (relatively speaking, of course) hooker to a mastermind thief’s wife, we can’t help but love you.

1) Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman

Seriously. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love this movie. Not only does Julia Roberts make the transformation from ugly duckling to beautiful swan, she gets to do the sexy with Richard Gere. Yes, freaken Richard Gere. He’s ancient but still hot. She was every hooker’s idol. Go Julia!

2) Tinkerbell in Hook

Deviating from her usual rom-coms, Julia took up the role of Tinkerbell in a new adaptation of the much beloved story, Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Julia was funny and witty and actually looked good in green (unlike the rest of the human race). Of course, when she sprinkled pixie dust and flashed her Hollywood smile, we all melted.

3) Erin Brockovich in Erin Brockovich

The role of a lifetime, Julia Roberts played Erin Brockovich, a real-life, cut-the-crap, no-nonsense single mother of three who managed to uncover a secret about a major corporation. Not only did Julia win Best Actress for her portrayal and solidified her career as a serious actress, but the dress she wore (by Valentino) to the Academy Awards is still ranked as one of the best dresses ever worn. Yowza.

4) Tess Ocean in Ocean’s 11 and Ocean’s 12

So who do you cast when you need an actress to play the wife of a mastermind thief? You cast Julia Roberts, duh. Not only was she witty and smart, Julia was the perfect foil to her street-smart George Clooney husband. I’m starting to see a trend with casting her and insanely famous and sexy men. I want to hate her, but I just can’t.

5) Anna Scott in Notting Hill

Probably one of my favorite movies starring Julia, the actress played, well, an actress, in the romantic comedy co-starring Hugh Grant. Probably because I was always insanely jealous that she got to make out and “whoopsie daisy” Hugh Grant, the whole movie was just a 2-hour feel good session that made me want to become an insanely famous actress who falls in love with a normal British man. I mean, it can still happen right?

So, let’s bring it all out in the open. Right here. Because you are not alone - we’ve all been there before.]

Hugging the Bowl:

You started the evening out with the girls and a few shots of vodka to the tune of Bon Jovi blaring from the stereo. Then you moved onto the party, where you couldn’t not play 10 rounds of flip cup, followed by a game of beer pong. You were feeling good – really good – so you decided to give into the boys and do a keg stand.

After all, you had to show them what you’re made of.

When your feet are firmly back on the ground it hits you: you are totally f**ked up. The room is spinning, the floor is rocking and all you can think about is getting home and dying.

But you don’t want anyone to think you are a wimp (because you’re not!), so you pull one of the girls aside and whisper, “I’m tired. I think I’m gonna go,” which comes out more like, “I’m <hiccup> tiiiired. I <hiccup> mthink I’mgomna <vurp> go.” Your friend offers to go with you.

You stumble home, run straight to the bathroom and strip down to your bra and underwear. Your friend brings you water in the bathroom as you crouch over the toilet and start spitting into the bowl. Your knees hurt already, but you are not leaving the bathroom until you puke, dammit.

Your head hurts. You feel like hell. You are never EVER drinking again. Please God, you pray, if you let me make it through tonight I will never drink this much again. Please god. PLEASE. I swear. No more alcohol. Ever.

And at that moment, you mean it.

You keep spitting into the toilet, opening your mouth and willing something other than saliva to come out. You try pulling the trigger (hey, it works for bulimics!), chugging water, or anything else that just might bring up all that beer.

You give up hope, grab the garbage can and begin to head back to your room when – YES! – it comes. Lots and lots of it. Beer, vodka, and the Jimmy Johns #6 you scarfed down for dinner. Vomiting has never felt so good. You welcome the heaves, celebrate the bile, and as quickly as it started you are done.

You are sweating. There are tears in your eyes, but sweet Jesus you feel great.

You pour yourself a glass of water, brush your teeth, grab the garbage can and head to your room where you quickly pass out.

When you wake up in the morning you feel great, and after some scrambled eggs and toast you are ready to hit the bottle again.

Come back next week for more moments of misery that we can all share. Like all those damn drunk texts.
