It’s not difficult to get messed up in college. Keg shells line frat house walls and liquor seems to flow freely from faucets. Yet, students continuously resort to more creative techniques to make their heads spin.
Why?
Most likely a combination of increasingly high tolerances and general boredom. But, the new frontiers they are exploring are not only dangerous, but straight up bizarre.
CollegeCandy has compiled a list of the 6 wackiest (and not recommended) ways to get effed up. Seriously, coming from a bunch of girls who enjoy Franzia for breakfast, we do not condone these actions.
Robotripping
Apparently, this old technique of getting a quick high is making a comeback. Robotrippers chug cough syrup to hit their desired peak. I remember seeing this on an episode of Popular back in the day and thinking it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard…I hated cough medicine! Ten years later, I still find it ridiculous.
Four Loko
The newest controversial malt beverage, Four Loko has caused quite a commotion amongst media outlets. With flavors from Watermelon to Blue Raspberry, they fuel students with a combination of alcohol and stimulants. Some students can handle the power of the Loko, but most cannot. Dubbed “blackout in a can,” students turn to these drinks to get drunk fast. Personally, I think Four Loko tastes like battery acid in a can. I’ll stick to an RBV, please. Read More »

As a mere 13-year-old with braces from ear to ear, I nervously paced down the hallways of my high school anxious for the next chapter of my life to begin. Although the next four years would be filled with nonsensical drama and lame undercover house parties, thanks to constant reminder from my parents, I knew that virtually every decision I made would be on account of my future.
I enrolled in as many honors and AP classes as possible because “colleges love to see that.” Between rounds of “binge” drinking (you know, two whole beers) on the weekends, I studied for hours to keep my grades up. Even one unacceptable grade would lower my GPA and would affect what colleges I could apply to. I made sure to partake in as many extracurricular activities as possible because as drilled into my brain, “colleges love to see that.” And rest assured, when the time came, I had two SAT tutors every week to ensure my scores were up to par. My essays were grilled to perfection and applications completed meticulously. My heart skipped a beat every time the mail was delivered while awaiting acceptance letters. Read More »

Sometimes people get to the point where just drinking a drink isn’t enough. We all get into that rut and pull out the deck of cards or the stack of red cups. We get bored with the monotony and impatient for a good buzz. As the night goes on we begin to wonder if it would be more fun to perhaps shoot the alcohol into our mouths with a pistol, or tackle each other as we chug a frosty one. Or maybe mixing a little fire into the equation could be a good time?No.
These are bad ideas; each and every one of them. Drinking may be a huge part of the college experience but, there are just some things that shouldn’t be mixed with booze. Read More »

About two weeks ago, I decided that it would be an amazingly brilliant idea to try different energy drinks. I never hear the same thing said about an energy drink twice; it’s always a different response, and very few of them encompass the drink as a whole. So I decided to test stuff out on my own.
See? I didn’t die.
Still, once I found myself working my way down (or up) this list, I was getting a lot more negative side affects than positive. So use caution when drinking these guys, and for God’s sake, don’t drink them all in a two-week span like I did.
5. Mad Croc: I wasn’t crazy about this stuff, I’ll be honest. It tasted a lot like Red Bull and bubblegum ice cream combined (gross combo, I know). . If you’re looking for something to just keep you up, this is probably your product. I had a mild case of the shakes for about fifteen minutes, but no other noticeable side affects really showed up.

Sometimes trends are so ridiculous (and downright hideous) that while I put the title of “Trend Watch” on this article…I sincerely hope that this new item will never bear the title of “trendy”.
On that note, say hello to Spats!
These absurdly overpriced leather covers are made to cover your already expensive high heels to give you more variety; more options.
Awesome, just what we all need…something to make us even later in the morning!
Not only that, but if you ask me, these gladiator-esque shoe coverings look really f*cking dated. Weren’t these on the fringe of being cool, like, 3 years ago?
Also, who the hell do we think we are? Mr. Peanut? Victorian era, old-timey, wealthy gentlemen?
Possothespat.com is offering these ugly little things for bundles of cash. And in what looks to be an atempt to be edgy, they have taken pictures of girls with only okay looking feet to pose on toilet seats with these things on. Scandalous! Read More »

If you have weed for sale, it’s probably a really great idea to yell it out your window. I mean, what’s word of mouth when there’s YOUR mouth to do all your publicity for you? These guys are so smart. They didn’t even need to go to college with the common sense it takes to accomplish this.
They should have just set up a weed stand complete with complementary lemonade. I mean, everyone knows that weed gives you cotton mouth. And there’s nothing worse than cotton mouth, besides well, being arrested.
Which is exactly what happened to the two (former) freshman at Northeastern University last Sunday.
After one of them yelled out their dorm room window that his roommate had weed for sale, a couple of plainclothes Boston officers decided to check out the goods. Smart boys! Such a great way to attract customers! (Although I think the weed and lemonade idea is pretty great). Read More »

Okay, so I admit it. Sometimes, when I babysit, I totally go into the fridge and eat some food.
And every once in a while, I let the kid stay up past his bedtime, because, I mean, making them go to sleep when the sun is still up is just wrong.
I may not be an angel of perfection when it comes to taking care of other people’s kids, but at least I don’t get them stoned.
Earlier this month, a 15-year-old Florida girl was arrested and charged with felony child abuse after smoking a joint around the little kid she was babysitting—and posting a picture of it on MySpace.
The girl (who’s name is being withheld by authorities because of her age and massive stupidity) was charged as a juvenile and released into her parents care after the arrest, but the possibility that the state attorney’s office will charge her as an adult later is quite high (haha. Get it?). Read More »
