What’s the last thing Hollywood needs right now?

A new reality tv show? Nah. If it can survive Bachelor Pad it can survive anything.

A YouTube obsession? After Rebecca Black I really don’t think anyone could compete.

A combination between the two? Why yes, I think that would be a bit much. So of course that’s what we’ve got on our hands right now. Ladies, may I be the first to tell you about the new album PopEater calls a “bass-thumping, synth-heavy dance track filled with defiant lyrics aimed at “cheeky tongue waggers.” May I be the first (and hopefully the last) to tell you about Real Housewives star, Simon van Kempen’s new album, I Am Real.

But before I send you off to listen to this masterpiece, I thought we should all take a little trip down memory lane and remind ourselves of a few of the other reality stars who have made the jump to autotuned iTunes singles. Grab your barf bag; it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Countess Luanna’s Money Can’t Buy Love

Heidi Montag’s Higher

Kim Zoliack’s Tardy for the Party

Kim Kardashian’s Jam (Turn it Up)

The Jersey Shore’s T-Shirt Time Song

Spencer Pratt’s I’m A Celebrity

Paris Hilton’s Stars are Blind

Brooke Hogan’s Everything to Me

Tila Tequila’s I Love You Dirrty 

And finally, the newest edition to the reality star turned pop star hall of fame, Simon van Kempen’s I Am Real.

Hm, perhaps we should turn this into a CD and call it ‘NOW That’s What I Call Music That Makes Rebecca Black Look Good’?

Here’s something you probably never thought you’d see.

PopEater has spotted Heidi Montag, Jake Pavelka, and Danielle Staub filming together in Los Angeles. What were they filming? No one knows. Apparently details about this production are “being kept under wraps.”

But that doesn’t mean we can’t make a few guesses, does it? Come on, let’s think. What do these “stars” all have in common? They’re reality TV cast offs. They’re hated. They’re really, really desperate to be famous. And well, that’s about it. Unless Jake Pavelka is secretly a woman. (Which actually wouldn’t be all that surprising with all the crying he did on The Bachelor…)

So let’s see… is this a support group for the most hated group in America? A new show for wannabe reality stars? A who’s the biggest biatch star showdown? Or are they going the whole From Justin to Kelly route and making a movie now that the reality TV well has dried up? Can’t you just see Jake as the leading man caught between a blonde and a brunette? Oh, wait…yes, you probably can since that’s exactly what he was doing on The Bachelor. But here’s the more important question…how does Spencer feel about Heidi potentially playing the role of Jake’s love interest?

Sigh. So many options. So many quip comments. I just don’t know which to choose. I’m just going to have to leave it up to you ladies. Give me your best guesses in the comments below. And click here to see the full story.

Survivor has done it. Top Chef has done it. And now it’s time for us to do it. Well, sort of.

Actually it’s more a suggestion, one we’re offering up to the Bravo powers that be because frankly, we don’t think they have the creativity necessary to come up with such a brilliant idea. Enough with the Real Housewives of New York. The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The Real Housewives of Miami. (Making its way to a TV near you very soon.) Forget cities. Think personalities.

Imagine if the women were forced to interact with Real Housewives from another show? Teresa and Lisa cooking together?  Maybe Catherine helping Vicki check things off of her her bucket list? Think about these women. Think about the chaos they could cause together.

Think about all of that fake blonde hair and tan skin in one room.

The possibilities are endless here, and that’s why we’re proposing The Ultimate Real Housewives House. Only for the biggest and the best of the Real Housewives franchise. For the ones you love, the ones you hate and the ones you love to hate. Only one per city, so…who makes the cut?

Name: Teresa Giudice
City: New Jersey
Claim to Fame: Her cookbook, Skinny Italian. And all that leopard.
Words of Wisdom: “A meatball without sauce – is that even legal?”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: Because she is the ultimate Jersey girl, born and raised. Who better to represent Jersey?

Name: Victoria Gunvalson
City: The O.C.
Claim to Fame: She owns a life insurance business.
Words of Wisdom: “Woo Hoo!”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: Why, her awesome catch phrase, of course. And her “fierce determination,” aka her inability to admit defeat. And how she looks down her nose at all those women who don’t work (cough Teresa cough). Should keep things mighty interesting.

Name: Catherine Ommaney
City: Washington D.C.
Claim to Fame: She’s British. That’s enough.
Words of Wisdom:”I’m here for a good time, not a long time.”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: She’s a bitch British and she’s a party girl. She’s a British party girl!

Name: Lisa VanderPump
City: Beverly Hills
Claim to Fame: Actress? Restaurant owner? She does it all, even if we don’t notice.
Words of Wisdom: “In Beverly Hills it’s who you know, and I know everyone.”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: Because in my mind, with Lisa comes Jiggy. And with Jiggy comes Vicki’s claws as, in a white wine induced fit, she tears that little pup apart and eats him for dinner.

Name: Jill Zarin
City: New York
Claim to Fame: Her advice book, Secrets of a Jewish Mother.
Words of Wisdom: “If I start feeling jewelry, you might feel something good later.”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: Because she has some awesome one liners. Because she runs with a fabulous circle of people. Because we want to see how some other fabulous people respond to her awesome one liners.

Name: Kim Zolciak
City: Atlanta
Claim to Fame: Tardy for the Party? Google Me? I’m sorry, are these songs?
Words of Wisdom: “People call me a gold digger but they just want what I have.”
What Makes Her Ultimate Material: Anything to get her to stop trying to become a singer, please.

Please take note;  these are not necessarily our favorite housewives. We’re not claiming they’re the best or the brightest. We’re just putting out there how absolutely hysterical it would be to see this particular group of women in the same room. (A Kim Zolciak and Jill Zarin showdown, maybe?) Just think about all the cat fights, all the broken nails. All the wasted hair spray…

So what do you think, girls? Which women would be BFFs and which would be mortal enemies? And maybe the more important question, in what city should the ultimate housewives house be?

After months and months of bemoaning and belaboring senior year, the fall semester is almost complete. Half of my senior year is over. My lasts semester taking a full course load is over.  It’s the end of an era, the beginning of something new. It’s what I’ve been counting down to since October. I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit ranting about how I could  not wait until the semester was over, how I needed a break, how I was tired of my professors, how I needed more free time and fewer responsibilities and how I was absolutely certain that this semester was just never going to end.

But now, now it’s very close to ending, and what I hadn’t seemed to realize was that it wasn’t so much my last fall semester of college that I wanted to end, but rather all of the work that accompanied it.

You see, I tried my best to strike a balance. But somewhere along the way the stress of senior year started overwhelming the sentimentality of senior year. It was less about enjoying the experience and more about powering through to the end of the experience. The senioritis started kicking in, and I started freaking out. I was trapped in a of must-get-things-done-now mind frame, worrying about my senior thesis (I don’t know why. It’s not due to April), my grad school applications (Don’t even know if I want to go to graduate school), and my grades (Still important. But now that the papers are done it doesn’t really seem as stress worthy). I spent a good chunk of the semester thinking about what comes next, and while it made sense at the time, that is not how I want to spend the latter half of my senior year.

I want to spend it partying partaking in senior year activities. I want to be a college student, because hey, I don’t know if you noticed but this will be my last chance to do that.  I use to do it quite well once upon a time (I’m looking at you, Junior Jenn) and after a little winter break rest and relaxation I think I’ll be more than ready to get back to the basics, for my last semester of college ever.

So I’m going to power through this last week one last time, and then do some celebrating. I’ll rest, relax, and recuperate all while getting into the Christmas spirit. And in January I’ll be back, with some New Year’s resolutions and some new, less stressful, senior goals.

If you need me until then, I’ll be watching Real Housewives reruns and baking Christmas cookies (or just eating the dough).

But there’s one genre in particular that holds a special place in our hearts. That’s right, you guessed it, I’m talking about reality TV. Who needs actors and scripts when reality is just so damn entertaining all on its own? The people we watch, the situations they put themselves in, just can’t compete with figments of the imagination. And love ‘em or hate ‘em, reality shows have altered our lives and pop culture as we know it.

So, since it’s early on a Monday morning and there’s nothing on but the news (boring) and some Proactive infomercial (it’s too early for Avril Lavigne’s skin problems), let’s count down the top ten reality TV shows that changed our lives.

10. The Real Word. What? Do you think I have no sense of history? This is the longest running show on MTV. One of the longest running reality TV shows of all time. It set the standard for hot tubs and co-ed bathrooms and super dramatic fights that often involve throwing things. It’s a classic. It had to be here.

9. Iron Chef America. Or Top Chef. Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis. Or Throw down with Bobby Flay. Basically any show that makes me hungry… while also teaching me what an amuse-bouche is. Or how to reduce cooking wine. Or the beauty of scallops. Seriously, why do I know these things? Oh yeah, TV.

8.  John and Kate Plus Eight Well, this one is not so much the show itself, but more the fact that it brought us the whirlwind that is Kate Irene Gosselin, the woman who just wanted a normal life for her kids. That’s why she let TLC film her as she “mothered them.” It’s why her divorce was scattered across tabloids. And it’s why she appeared on Dancing with the Stars. (Side note: Have you seen that woman’s hair?)  

7. Sixteen and Pregnant. And people wonder why teenage girls are making pregnancy pacts (and why twenty-something girls are making runs to CVS at 10pm to ease their minds after an 8-hour TV marathon).

6. Keeping Up With the Kardashians. When this show first started, I was not a loyal viewer. Who wanted to watch a family pretending like they actually have a reason to be famous? What do they even do? Sex tapes. Celebrity boyfriends. Been there, done that. Then I accidentally on purpose turned on the TV while it was on. I think you know what happened next….well, after I spent 4 hours mastering the intensely smokey eye.

5. The Real Housewives. Orange County. Atlanta. New York. New Jersey. D.C. Or Beverly Hills. Everyone has their favorite. This show is just one of the many reasons to be glad you’re still a college girl.

4 Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. This was the beginning of an era for MTV. The first of many “reality TV shows with the feel of a scripted drama.” This was LC’s big break. This was the show that gave us…

3. The Hills. Somehow I’ve managed to make it through life without ever seeing an episode. But even I understand the socio-cultural significance of this particular show. I mean Speidi alone was life altering. But the couple everyone (or at least I do) loves to hate was only the beginning. Drama. Deceit.  Juicy details. And then the last few seconds of the series finale. Enough said.

2. The Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad. This show has been on the air for eight years, providing viewers with almost a decade’s worth of pretty people breaking up, making out and freaking out. But let’s be honest, it never would have gotten the coveted number two spot if it hadn’t been for Brad Womack. He led us to DeAnna Pappas who led us to Jason Mesnick who led us to Jillian Harris who led us to Jake Pavelka who led us to Ali Fedotowsky. So much drama. So few brain cells. Add in a summer season of Bachelor Pad, and an upcoming repeat performance by Brad Womack, and this show just can’t be beat, well, except for…

1. The Jersey Shore. Come on. Did you really expect anything else here?  These people were the most popular Halloween costume of 2010.  They brought us t-shirt time, grenades, smushing and, of course, “CABS ARE HERE!” MTV gave them their own book. South Park dedicated an episode to them. They are pop culture.  As much as you might hate to admit it, Snooki, The Situation, Pauly D, JWoww and all the rest have wormed their way into the hearts’ of America, monumentally shaking the very foundations of our existence.

GTL ladies, GTL.

Which reality TV shows changed your life? Which one do you love? Love to hate? Or just plain old hate?

College days are jam-packed and it’s a struggle to fit in studying, drinking, smoking, sexing, protesting, exercising, birth controlling, and sleeping. That’s why Daylight Savings comes as the perfect time. Just when you think you’re all burnt out from the festivities of last weekend and midterm cramming, you get AN EXTRA HOUR.

So instead of using it for something productive (flip your underwear inside out, laundry can wait one more day), spend your extra hour on Sunday watching the best viral videos that our top notch interns could find.

And don’t forget to set those clocks back!

Same goes for Tyra Banks (who does she think she is?!), Ke$ha, Olivia Palermo, Katherine Hiegl and the entire cast of Jersey Couture (no, I don’t know why I keep on watching it). These people shouldn’t be allowed to speak, let alone speak on camera. In fact, I think the world would be a much better place if we never had to hear from them again. Wouldn’t that be heavenly?

So let’s all start a wish list of the celebrities we want to pack up and ship off to an island far, far away. A land filled with dangerous animals, poisonous fruits and zero Internet access or cell phone service.

Who are you giving your first ticket to?

Emmy-Loyola University Chicago: Spencer from The Hills. No one deserves it more.

Sarabeth – University of Texas: I would send Tyler Perry away. The world has enough fat-lady-who’s-really-a-skinny-black-man comedies, and he’s making the same crappy non-funny movies over and over and over again. And if he has one more sitcom start up on TBS, I’ll scream.

Charlsie – Hollins Univeristy: I’d like to send Real Housewife of NJ Danielle Staub to an island where she can’t hide in Bentleys from the snakes!

Melissa – University of Maryland: Miley Cyrus. I think she should take her scantily clad, birdlike self to the Island from “Lost” and stay there. We’ll see who “Can’t Be Tamed” when she encounters the polar bears and smoke monster there.

Katherine – University of Delaware: I would have to say I’d send Mel Gibson far, far away. The way he’s treated Oksana is completely disgusting and I could put up with a thousand Spencer Pratts before I’d be okay with Mel Gibson.

Norah – Drake University: Spencer Pratt. He went off the deep end this season in The Hills, and I think we’ve all had enough of his mystical healing stones and overly fluffy hair.

Lauren H -The New School: Megan Fox – can we please just make it stop already!

Melanie – Northeastern: Charlie Sheen. Seriously, he repulses me and the fact that he is one of the highest paid television stars (on the worst sitcom) is awful.

Sara C- Fordham: Absolutely the Kardashians (do they count as one unit?). Not only are they dumb as posts, their show is always boring and they’re only famous because their late father was OJ’s lawyer (not really a great claim to fame, eh?). Yeah, Kim is hot, but there are plenty of other hot celebs and hot non-celebs, so that argument doesn’t sway me. Adios, amigas.

Lauren – University of Michigan: Ann Coulter. Though I’d really like to be there when she gets mauled by a bear.

Nina – Michigan State University: Mel Gibson! The aforementioned island would work, or he could just go to hell as long as I don’t have to hear his stupidity anymore.

Brithny – Duke: Mama Grizzly herself, because Sarah Palin should never, ever, be allowed to even attempt running for president. I’d run to Canada.

Sammie – Fordham: Kelly Bensimon.  Bitch be crazy.

Leah – Ryerson University: Taylor Swift, so I never have to hear another “OMG I can’t believe I won another award I don’t deserve” ever again.

Brittany – University of Saint Thomas: Kristen “I like the taste of my lip” Stewart. If I never had to see her act or pout while wearing Gucci and standing beside Taylor Lautner…I would be fine with that.

Cristina – Michigan State: It would have to be Spencer Pratt. I really don’t think I even need to describe why.

Caitlin – University of Alabama: Spencer Pratt.  I can deal with Heidi’s fake boobs and Lindsay Lohan’s insanity, but that flesh-colored beard I cannot handle.

Mechelle – Florida State: Perez Hilton. You can’t be a style maven AND wear that get-up to the VMAs.

Meg – University of Delaware: I’d send Miley Cyrus. She drives me insane, has no talent and sounds like she has a retainer in when she sings. I’m hoping that if she never came along maybe Justin Beiber wouldn’t have either and we’ve have some real music to still listen to.

Rachael – University of Miami: Oh, god, only one? Well, since I’m sure most people will say Mel Gibson (for obvious reasons, though, as a Jew, I’m personally offended by his continued ability to speak in public), I’ll go with the less common Tom Cruise. Between his attitudes toward the mentally ill, what he did to Katie Holmes, and his crappy excuse for acting, I think we’d be better off without him.

Bravo’s collection of Real Housewives has contributed many things to pop culture, such as the infamous New Jersey table flip, the term “prostitution whore,” multiple face-lifts and boob jobs (I’m looking at you Orange County!), and who can forget the song “Tardy for the Party”? Through all the drama though, one strong willed woman has truly climbed to the top – The Real Housewives of New York’s Bethenny Frankel.

The fast talking, quick witted, and always opinionated Bethenny first appeared on the Real Housewives as the only single lady looking for love, although skeptical about it from the get-go. More focused on her career and becoming a better version of herself, Bethenny stood out from the beginning as being an independent woman who wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted. What a change in comparison to the rest of the housewives!

By the third season of the Real Housewives of New York, viewers got to see Bethenny in an entirely different light. She went from lonely career woman to a flourishing force to be reckoned with. While the majority of the Housewife characters spent the season arguing and stirring up drama amongst each other, Bethenny was constantly working her ass off on her multiple book deals, her “SkinnyGirl” brand, and her budding romance with her now husband, Jason Hoppy. She even found out that she was pregnant!

Now, with her new show on Bravo Bethenny Getting Married? featuring her marriage and pregnancy, it seems like Bethenny truly is sitting on top of the world. With the ultimate success in her public career life and her new private ventures, it seems like Bethenny has found a way to balance the best of both worlds – being a serious business entrepreneur while still managing to be a dedicated wife and mother, all while remaining true to the brand she created.

Media today rarely highlights success that women obtain in their careers, and it’s even less likely for the media to celebrate a woman who has everything they could aspire for. In a world of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears always being put under a negative spotlight, it is sometimes hard to remember that women are out making a name for themselves every day.

For example, Bethenny has shown that her hardwork has truly paid off. In the last two years, she has published two New York Times best selling books: Naturally Thin: Unleash Your SkinnyGirl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting and The SkinnyGirl Dish: Easy Recipes for Your Naturally Thin Life. She has been featured on three seasons of The Real Housewives of New York, as well as her own exercise DVD Body by Bethenny. She has even created an audio book this past year! With these accomplishments, it’s no wonder Bravo offered her a show all her own.

Through everything though, it seems like Bethenny hasn’t compromised herself, showing that hard work actually pays off, instead of taking the easy way out. (She could have easily just settled for her fame on the Real Housewives, but instead decided to make a name for herself.) Remaining steadfast in getting exactly what she wants, Bethenny shows young women that a little bit of effort and a whole lot of hard work truly pays off – and with today’s economic climate and negative female media attention, that’s a positive thing to see.

So, when I grow up … I want to be my own version of Bethenny Frankel, because with all her accomplishments, her blunt wit, and her you-can-have-it-all attitude, who wouldn’t want to be?

Here at CollegeCandy, we’re suckers for a good trashy reality show. Which is why I’ve decided to highlight my favorite trashy reality franchise: The Real Housewives. It’s the The Hills in 30+ years, chock full of cougars, bubbies, designer clothes and countless bottles of Pinot Grigio. What’s not to love? Well, besides annoying-ass Vicki Gundelson…

Since I just spent 8 hours on a beautiful Sunday mesmerized by these “ladies” (the jury is still out on Kelly’s gender at birth), I’ve decided to count down the top ten best moments in Housewives history. Which, mind you, was incredibly difficult to narrow down. (Sorry there’s not enough Atlanta loving in the mix; I’m not up to date on that series.)

Did I miss one? Let me know your favorite Housewives moment in the comments. But for now, kick back, relax and relive the moments.

10. “Fabulousssss”
Teresa Giudice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey showcases her H.I.T. (housewives in training) daughters as they light up their screen in their neon pink outfits, huge flowers in their hair, posing in a way that Tyra would be proud of, and in their most guidette voice, “Fabuloussssssss!”

9. Anything involving Grandma Wrinkles
Dina Manzo loves her kitty cats. But I just can’t help to love to hate her Mr. Bigglesworth lookalike furless friend. Top Play? When Grandma Wrinkles gets a bath in the kitchen sink. Really? Can’t get enough of Grandma Wrinkles on television? Don’t worry. She, like most of the housewives, has a Twitter detailing her life with Dina and, of course, Ladybug.

8. Money Can’t Buy Ya Class (but it can buy you glittery bell bottoms and a skeevy producer to mix your track)
There’s not much to say about the Countess’ clear breakaway hit. Listening to her in the recording studio was a real treat for me, but the even better delight was my inability to get this song stuck out of my head for the next three weeks.

7. Ramona runs the Runway at Brooklyn Fashion Week(end)
Let’s see, if the side pony, the stomping down the runway, or dealing with the fact that Brooklyn Fashion Week even exists (why?) weren’t enough to handle– Ramona just kept the hits coming when she stormed the runway with her signature crazyface and bulging eyes. For a moment, I couldn’t tell if I had accidentally sat on the remote and changed the channel to RuPaul’s Drag Race. Blech.

6. “Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii”
The demise of the original mean girl, Miss Zarin herself. When Jill decided to pop down to St. John to “surprise” her “besties” – 2 of whom hated her (Bethenny and Alex), 1 of whom just wanted the conversation to go back to sex (Sonja) and the other who was hellbent on the comfort of her guests post-traumatic Kelly Bensimon Blowpop breakdown (Ramona) – let’s just say it did not go according to plan. Interrupting the pedicure sesh left Jill high and dry in her G5 with the elusive Bobby (props on the Kodak polo shirt, buddy) crying the entire way to St. Lucia. Boo. Hoo.

5. University of Vicki
Here we have a classic case of partying past your prime. Ladies, take note. Flip cup and beer pong is all good and funtimes now, but please, please don’t pull a Vicki Gunvalson of the Real Housewives of Orange County. Ms. Vicki decided to show up at her son’s dorm room and start throwing back Coors Light like she was being initiated into a frat. Wow. Awk. Ward.

4. “You know what Bethenny? We are done.”
Jill Zarin calls Bethenny Frankel out. On speakerphone. With the Countess next to her. And the little chihuahua listening too. Bethenny apologizes, Jill denies her. Jill apologizes and brings latkes as a peace offering (gross?) and Bethenny denies her. I’m sure you can see where this is going. Basically the whole thing has just spun off to a new show where Bethenny whines about finding a white dress to fit over her shotgun wedding bump in her belly and drives around Manhattan in her Skinny Girl Volkswagen, bitching to Jason that she needs more jars to contain things. Needless to say, I will be tuning in.

3. Kim Sings? Oh, no. No, she doesn’t.
Don’t be Tardy for the Party.

2. Kelly Bensimon’s Breakdown on “Scary Island”
In one of the more disturbing moments of the Real Housewives, Kelly Bensimmon has a full-fledged Britney circa 2007 meltdown on television. From her crazed ramblings to the gummi bears, this was a breakdown not soon to be forgotten. She references Al Sharpton, vampires and, of course, the obvious lesbian love affair between Ramona and Bethenny. W-o-w.

1. The Table Flip
Did you really think I could leave this out? In the most defining moment of the Real Housewives franchise, Teresa of New Jersey flips a table upon Danielle Staub telling her to “Pay attention, puh-lease” in regards to her story of multiple name changes, drug and gun possession, kidnapping and just being a scary warped sea creature biatch. Teresa does not take kindly to this sentiment and starts screaming a slew of insults and flips the dinner table over as Joe restrains her and she incoherently rambles on. Now that’s why we watch reality TV.

I always knew I had an addictive personality. To be fair, though, for awhile I thought that meant that other people were addicted to my personality: my sense of humor, my charming ways, my gift giving skills… But then I got to college, smoked my first cigarette outside of a frat party and quickly learned that:

A) There are some people who don’t find me charming
B) Cigarettes are delightful when you’re drinking

But despite all the bad things about cigarettes and the fact that I now have to stand in the rain to smoke them because they’re illegal indoors, that addiction might actually be the least of my problems. So let me share my 10 worst addictions that might be worthy of an A&E Intervention.

10. The Real Housewives
It’s bad enough that I DVR every episode of every season and know more about these catty women than I do about foreign policy. But the real problem is that I hate them – every single one of them – and watching them makes me so angry I want to reach through my TV and throttle them. But since I can’t choke Ramona, I end up indulging in a row of Oreos to ease my anxiety. But do I stop watching? No. I can’t. And I also can’t curb my excitement for the newest cast in D.C.

9. Coffee
It’s gotten to the point that I can’t even go to the gym without having at least one Grande Americano first. I’ll even make a Starbucks run at 9 p.m. on a Thursday just to make it through my weekly dose of #10. And then I’ll pass out at 10 p.m.

8. Driving Fast
Three speeding tickets in 3 months, plus one situation where I got pulled over and flirted my way out of another? Yes, that’s me!

7. Email
The first thing I do when my alarm goes off in the morning is turn on my iPhone and check my email. And then I continue to check it obsessively throughout the day. It’s not like there’s anything really important coming through that requires me to check every 11 minutes (well, after I’ve read my RueLala specials), but I can’t stop. Not even when I’m doin’ a little #8 (don’t tell Oprah!) or a little #2 (in the bathroom…not the one on this list.)

6. Eyebrow waxing
Based on the way my eyebrows grow in, I’m pretty sure I’m a distant cousin of Chewbacca. I swear, if I think about it hard enough I can make my brows grow back in a minute. I’ve become addicted to keeping them perfect and my weekly appointments give me a high similar to the one I get after a really good workout.

5. Kashi Go Lean Crunch
It’s healthy and tasty and I’ll eat it with anything from cereal to ice cream. But it also has some foul smelling side effects. Needless to say, it’s my friends that have the biggest issue with this particular addiction.

4. Late night food
No matter how hard I try, I can’t come home from a night out without eating something greasy, disgusting and totally unhealthy. And trust me, I’ve tried. I once forced myself to go to bed without food, passed out for an hour, then got up and ordered a pizza.

3. Judging People
Not all people – just the ones that deserve it. Like men with mullets, girls who wear stripper shoes, the women who go on The Bachelor, the annoying kid who always asks a million questions in class and makes class run over every. single. week, frat boys who still pop their collars, girls who wear Bump Its…. OK, maybe everyone.

2. Making Lists
I’ve got a list for everything: homework, my sexual history, packing, phone calls to make, emails to send, things I want to buy, people I hate, this very article….

1. Making Out
Everyone loves a great makeout session, but I can’t seem to live without them. Good or bad. Or, in the case of last weekend, so bad I had to stop in the middle and chug another beer before I could even consider sucking face with that mustachioed creepy guy again.
