[Life isn’t black and white. As much as we wish we simply loved or hated things, there is often that whole annoying gray area in the middle. Like, we hate how Walmart treats its employees…but we love the low prices! Or, we love how that boy makes us laugh….but we hate that he has no motivation in life. Damn you, gray area; you make decision-making that much more complicated!
There are so many difficult choices in life (do we love or hate high heels??), so we thought we’d sort through ‘em right here. Every week we will discuss another issue we are torn up about. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!]
Ohh FB. I really do hate how much I love you.
Love: Clearly, Facebook serves its purpose as a social networking site. It’s great for ‘friending’ (and poking!) that cute guy you see around campus but don’t actually know, checking up on your friends from high school and leaving them funny video posts on their walls, and helping you to remember your lab partner’s birthday. Facebook makes it extremely easy to communicate with people without actually talking to anyone or putting in any real effort. Read More »

Ugh. Finals. Is there anything worse? You sorta coast through the entire semester with nothing to do but some really boring reading and then – BAM – you have to take a giant test that determines your entire grade (and possibly future). Yeah, that’s not stressful or anything.
So now you are stuck in the library for days at a time trying to stuff 4 classes worth of info into your alcohol-tainted brain. And you need an effing break! What do you do? Here is what CollegeCandy’s writers do for their much needed study break:
Sues – University of New Hampshire: My whole day is pretty much a series of study breaks since I continuously get sucked into the Internet and realize that I’m online shopping, reading blogs, and basically doing everything but studying. If I step away from the computer, I go to the gym!
John – UConn: My study break is when I stop drinking coffee in order to drink beer.
Kari – FSU: My study break looks like Phish Food, a well earned back rub from my boyfriend, and a wonderfully distracting episode of The Office…30 minutes of Jim Halpert’s face will perk me up any day. Read More »

YOU MUST CHOOSE:
“Would you rather be caught masturbating by your grandmother…. Or vice versa?”
“Would you rather relax in a Jacuzzi of a stranger’s saliva? OR have diarrhea in a gravity free chamber?”
Sure I have better things to be doing with my time right now, like uh, write my final paper for one, but studying the art of procrastination seemed like a better idea. So now,here I am five hours later bringing you, dear readers, the most fun game of life. Period.
The “Would you rather” books by Justin Heimberg and David Gomberg give you hundreds of ridiculous dilemmas that you will never actually come across. They are exactly what every college student should have for a study break, a drinking game, or just an instant pick-me-up. Read More »
