What else is going on? You mean besides sweat-induced breakouts, funky tan burn lines, and 24/7 cravings for popsicles? Yeah, not much. Thank god all those ass-hats in Hollywood are keeping it real, otherwise I’d have nothing to do with myself while I spend my days huddled up on the air conditioning vent in my bedroom. Speaking of bedrooms, have you entered the CollegeCandy contest to win a total bedroom makeover?!

Perhaps reflecting on the week that was will cool things down a bit.

- Mel Gibson has officially gone off the deep end and taken on the title of Douchebag of the Century.

- Could you be one of these people? Here are six friends you’ll never see over summer break

- Kate and Jon didn’t work out, neither did Jake and Vienna. But what about Kate…and Jake? Maybe these new matchups will last in Hollywood.

- Wanna have sex? Forget about it. Let’s watch porn instead. Read about the new phenomenon about porn replacing sex.

- Short hair in, long hair out. Read about one CC writer’s obsession with short hair. (And rightfully so, look at Audrey Hepburn!)

- While you’re lounging poolside soaking up the sun, one post-grad is slaving away to prepare for the LSATs. Who do you think is having more fun? Hint: you.

- Emma Watson: smart, sucessful and the face of Burberry. Read why everyone here at CollegeCandy loves her style.

- Tired of working out every time you go out to eat? Eat these healthy foods and rock that hot summer bod.

- Guys are complicated. Wait, no they’re not.

But first, let’s soak up all the craziness that was this week:

- Tired of Lady Gaga and Kristen Stewart? Don’t worry, so are we. Yeah, they’re making way more $$$ than us, but their acts are getting boring and overused.

- They’re curvy, so what? CollegeCandy asks readers what’s the backlash with curvy, plus size girls. Ladies, beauty comes at every size, no?

- In college…and married?! Say what? Check out one girl’s experience as a married woman in college.

- American Apparel may soon be a thing of the past. Surprised? Not us. And we’ve got 9 (shiny/tight/nipple-baring) reasons why.

- Is it fair to hate on those lucky enough to have unpaid internships? We don’t think so. Put down the Haterade, kids.

- Our resident dude explained why your sexual history is no one’s business but your own.

- Twilight, Harry Potter, Justin Bieber…superfans are taking over the nation (and our nightmares) one creepy YouTube rant at a time.

- Wanna set yourself apart in your freshman dorm room? Start with NOT buying one of these cliche college posters.

- Summer finally (officially) arrived this past week, which means bikinis!! Grab a gym buddy and work out with vigor. And instead of going to a spa or dining out, learn how to make your own facial masks and some delicious (and healthy!) recipes with hard-boiled eggs.

It’s a crazy thing for some of us, college coming to an end. There was that part of me that thought college would stretch into my forties, and I would be shot gunning beers and rocking it out at concerts until my aging got the best of me. But, that’s not so much. Fortunately, for my future children.

While the stress is pumping up the volume, take a moment to skim over a week that was, and de-stress thosesenses!. Maybe it will make us feel better to ignore the future, if just for a small moment in time.

* Like I said before, college=load of stress. And graduating makes it worse. At least we’ve got that whole work outfit thing covered.

* As much as we’d like to believe bursting into the real world will present us gourmet dinners at the bistro, and tasty free lunches at work – we have discovered Lean Cuisines and Special K may continue to be a solid diet of choice.

* Ugh, some professors deserve to get the boot.

* An article in Maxim is making us wonder if guys are more like the ladies then we think.

* We have discovered some woman will do some cah-razy stuff for all the men out there.

* Aww Twitter, the outlet for sharing information that some would prefer to never know about. Especially with these five celebrity Twitter fanatics.

* Finally, we listed some ways to turn those weird, useless books (you probably never read) out into dollah bills.

Ok, I’m out. Time to go catch up on my guilty, most embarrassing pleasure: The Hills. Whatever, at least I’ve learned something.

And now, to call the week to a close, we have a whole weekend dedicated to patio happy hours and shopping online for new spring dresses. It’s moments like these that make me happy I have a little money store in the bank.

Ahhh, the good life. Summer is really inching closer and closer and I can already smell the burnt hot dogs in the air. But before you get wrapped up catching up on Glee (they’re airing it again tonight for the many of us who missed the last few minutes thanks to stupid American Idol) or diving into the spring dresses tab on the J. Crew website (color me guilty), take a look at the awesome week that was.

- We are wondering, if Noah can chase Allie (and hang on a Ferris Wheel to get her attention) why can’t women do the same without looking like complete creepers?

- Are sick days included in the real world?  Eh, not so much.

- We argued the reasons why women shouldn’t wait for sexy time.

- Cosmopolitan came out with a ‘Sexy Issue’ this month. Yee-haw! But after reading it, we think it should be re-named the ‘Silly Issue.’

- We discovered the sky is the limit for the Kardashian sisters. Because they are the next Patti Stanger? Oh no, please, no.

- Esquire proved that there may be hope for all men out there.

- We suggested a few new rules college campuses should adopt.

And that’s that. Now it’s time to hit the gym to prepare ourselves for bathing suit season. Or maybe we’ll just skip the whole “laying out” thing altogether and towel ourselves tan.

Since there is a first time for everything, let me tell you about the senior slide. This week, I didn’t want to do a single thing that pertained to school.  Get this, I even took it upon myself to scroll through a healthy amount of pictures (649, to be exact) tagged of myself on Facebook to dodge homework production. It’s bad. Real bad.

If you’re Senior Slidin’ (or just ready to ditch the books and do something, anything, else), here’s one more thing to get you through the few remaining hours of the week: taking a look at what already happened.

- We are counting down the days (and it feels like it’s taking forever) for Glee to be back in our lives. In case you aren’t excited enough, look at our favorite musical gems brought to you by Schuester and his glee club.

- Lately, I have been obsessed with the sophisticated boyfriend blazer, and we can help you make your own!

- We know Cosmopolitan says the darndest things, but we also discovered Glamour and Maxim have the same silly tendencies in their glossy pages, too.

- We said goodbye to Hannah Montana and contemplated the reasons why Miley is moving out on her own.

- We created this  helpful job-hunting tip sheet for graduating student’s entering the big bad workforce.

- Mirror, mirror on the wall, which crazy American Apparel outfit is the weirdest of them all?

- Could you go a month without shopping? What if you were a shop-a-holic? One College Candy writer is going to try, and she is sharing her story.

- In the light of all the cheating dbags in Hollywood, we wondered: once a cheater, always a cheater?

Is it April yet?
OK, it was only just Mardi Gras this week. Clearly I’m getting too ahead of myself.

In the meantime, here are some interesting points to chew on:

- While Spring Break is inching closer and you are hitting the tanning beds for that ideal bikini base-tan (hello, beer in Mexico!) you may want to keep this in mind.

- Men let their penis insecurities get in the way of safety and birth control. True story.

- Oh Cosmopolitan, you say some pretty ridiculous things sometimes; it’s amazing some of us can still rope in a man.

- Is smiling a required accessory?

- It is time to spice up your accessories, and who knew it could be so easy and cheap!

- Does college really determine the Political Views tab on your Facebook profile?

- Rpatz is allergic to vaginas? Well, we’re allergic to bulls**t and Mr. Pattinson is making our throats a little itchy…

- We’ve all had our share of  traveling down D-bag Avenue, but this list will make you feel like it was a two way street.

- Speaking of D-bag Avenue, do you miss the man living on it, or the the relationship it entailed?

- And when things ended, did you find yourself struggling with returning his things?

- Recently, John Mayer decided to dispose some pretty personal info between him and J. Simpson’s sexy time. I know of some other things that do not need to be shared with the class.

And that’s a wrap (up).
It’s Friday, and that calls for Happy Hour with the girlfriends and a little Olympics Drinking Game action. Have a great weekend!

Whether you were finishing up your first week of school, or applying for internships, this week was a productive one for all of us. And so was this month!  Is January really almost catapulting us into February?  The month was especially productive for the fist pumping guidos of Jersey Shore, as the cost per fist pump sky rocketed.  But while I’m not making bank eating pickles like Snooki, putting in a full week/almost month calls for a little Lady Gaga and a dance party. (Which we’ll all be getting at the Grammy’s on Sunday night!) After all, it’s the little things that count.

But first, let’s take a look back on the last w-to-the-eek:

- Speaking of applying for internships, we discovered some helpful resume building tips.

- But we gave a little helpful advice to keep “Star of  ‘Teen Mom’” off of it.

- We learned sometimes, ‘sexy time’ can go a little ‘awkward turtle’

- Brangelina break-up rumors circulated, and we were left…. with a smile on our face?

- Woah, I didn’t know this about Tim Tebow.

- De-stress by putting a little organization in your life. We gave our blush brushes and make-up a new home.

- Wingwomen are the new black.

- Just because you just ate half a bag of Sun Chips, doesn’t mean you can’t take some dieting advice from Dr. Oz.

- We learned a few lessons about living with a house full of Adam’s apples. Yep, dudes.

And now it’s Friday, baby! Get out there and enjoy it – just be careful. You are accountable for what you do, even if you don’t remember it.

Woops.

But now it’s Friday and I’ve got nothing to do except sleep, watch Jersey Shore reruns and dance to the best of ’09 jams in my apartment all weekend long. But first, let’s take a look back on the week that was:

- Obviously, we dealt with the billions of (annoying) people shoving their resolutions down our throats.

- We jumped for joy at the return of our favorite TV shows and our BFFs from the Babysitter’s Club.

- We questioned the existence of our G-spot, then realized (during a particularly wonderful late night tryst, perhaps?) that it is most definitely still there.

- We learned how badly our snacking habits and H&M are affecting Mother Earth.

- We figured out how to effectively ruin a relationship and questioned the rules that govern one.

- We defended breast implants.

- We learned how to be our best selves in 2010 (after the first week, of course).

- We started saving money so we could afford to fist pump with our favorite MTV Guidos.

It’s no wonder I’m sitting here chugging coffee like it’s my job; we had quite the busy week.

If only they could just read our minds and know what we really want. Spontaneous bouquets? Fabulous! Constantly yapping about his ex? Not so great.

Oh well; I guess things could be worse. You could be a poor, pants-deprived 11^th grader like Taylor Momsen (TayTay: I blame women like you for why there aren’t more female CEOs) or a soon-to-be-sacked slacker like the guy who let a Real Housewife crash the White House state dinner. You could be in a position where you have to resort to taking alcohol pills or subsisting only on freaky cafeteria food. You could be an actual groupie, rather than a recessionista who just lives on a groupie’s budget.

So chin up, lady, and don’t let the guys get you down—it’s Friday! Take a breather, indulge in some retail therapy, and try laying off the dudes for as long as you can stand it. It couldn’t hurt to take some me-time this weekend.

It does suck that we’ve got to start thinking about time management so that we don’t totally bomb finals, even though there are a ton of more important global issues on our minds right now, such as “Is Prince William suddenly fugly?” and “How good is Taylor Swift, really?” And then there’s that new “desire drug,” something I certainly wouldn’t want to find in my stocking (…if I had a stocking).

In the midst of all this turmoil, maybe it’d be best just to focus on the positive side of The Season. Gift giving and getting, pumpkin pie, red Starbucks cups—whenever you start to get overwhelmed with everything that comes along with late November and December, try to take a deep breath and remember what’s great about the holidays. Or, you know, make a list of all the things you hate, if you think it’ll make you feel better.
