This past week was super, super sexy. I mean it. It’s a lot of sexy, so we’ll start off simple.

All the snow has kept me from going out and spending all those hundreds I’ve been accumulating. Joking! School is just around the corner which means you’re in need of some killer outfits to rock to class and out at the bars. Preferably on a low-budget, preferable free. We’ve got you covered, with this guide on turning your plaid boyfriend shirt into a sexy night time ensemble. You’re welcome.

However jaunting off to class won’t be as easy this time around, since we’ve gotten slammed with all that snow. Hey Florida, we officially hate you. This weather is seriously bringing us down. Check out some tips to make the weather a little more bearable. How many more days until spring?

If you’re still feeling those winter blues, at least check out our picks for who’s having the worst week ever. Did we mention there are pictures? Cheer up.

So you’re ready for school boys. You’ve got your outfit, you’ve got your game face, you’re ready to go. I told you this week would be sexy. Consider reevaluating your game plan and ignore what the studies are saying. Or not saying. Or, wait what? We’re confused.

For those of you who’ve already got a cute love interest. Enter: more sexy time. Forget what mom told you about giving the milk away for free, or was it eggs? Wasn’t there a cow involved in that metaphor? Ugh, we’re confused again. Take our girls advice, and then see what a dude has to say. You’d be surprised what they said.

Whether you’re just waking up to the realization that it’s Christmas Eve morning or getting ready to jump in the car with your mother, father, brother, two sisters, and the family dog to head off to dinner, there’s no escaping it: Christmas is upon us!

Here at CollegeCandy we’ve been all about spreading the love, joy, and general merriment of the holiday season this week.  We gave you gift guides, survival lists, and countless Hollywood scandals to talk about.  But in case you missed anything while you were out hunting for a parking spot at the mall, here’s a run down of what you should be reading…

-Welcome winter!  Here’re 10 Things We Love about Y.O.U.

-Home for a week and already bored?  We’ve gotcha covered.

-And in case you’re one of those ambitious types, 6 TV shows you should definitely watch this break.  Break out Netflix and a giant bag of popcorn!  Dawson’s Creek, anybody?

-Is Mom asking you why you haven’t found a boyfriend yet…on your Facebook wall?  Avoid arguments while you’re home by laying down these social networking ground rules for parents.

Please tell me I’m not the only one waiting for LiLo’s next crazy move!  This week found me missing our drug-addled girl like whoa, especially since I wanted to be a Loca Lohan hot mess for Halloween.  Can we please go back to happier times when she was posing with knives alongside Vanessa Minnillo?

In the meantime, my search for the perfect costume is greatly aided by all the fabulous “sexy” don’ts we’re getting from you, our lovely readers. You know what not to wear…and maybe that $100 prize from American Apparel will help you guys put together the best costume on campus.  Or you can just buy fabulous tee shirts to wear to class.

There’s still time to enter our contest, but first be sure you haven’t missed any of the week’s most major stories:

-One Duke Student took kissing and telling to a whole new level.

-But before there was a Duke F*ck List, CC writers were getting busy in public.  Read one writer’s take on the experience.

-Rite-Aid becomes a whole new kind of treasure chest as we reveal all the different ways you can use cheap, common pharmacy items in new ways!

- We lusted for Austin, TX! And we think you totally should, too. Read More »

Heat waves out west, Noah’s Ark-style rain in the east, Brad leaving Rachel Zoe…the world is in a tailspin this week!  There was a lot that went down and a lot to discuss, but fear not.  Just like all those mornings you needed to, uh, “consult” Cliff’s Notes about the reading you missed, we’ve once again organized all the best items of the week in one easy cheat sheet.

-“Easy A” premiered and, though it wasn’t what we were expecting, we’re kinda obsessed.

-We got to experience the UT shooting through the eyes of a CollegeCandy writer who was present (and thankfully safe and sound).

-The high school vs. college homecoming debate carried on strong.  Over-the-top “Will you go to homecoming with me?” gestures rivaled the low-budge face paint and a beer approach of university life.  But which won out?  That’s for you to decide.

-Our resident sorority girl took a break this week and let the CC Panhel board tell you why you should consider- and perhaps reconsider- going through rush.

-We found a new favorite show on television.  Helllloooo, James Wolk! But boo. It got canceled already. Read More »

This week flew by. I mean flew. Between watching Shark Week, voting for my favorite trends of the ’90s and topping it off with the second episode of Jersey Shore of the  season, I made quite the dent on my couch and my parents’ pantry food supply (I’m serious, I probably gained 10 pounds in White Cheddar Cheese-Its).  And I just have to get it out there (because it’s been troubling me the past week); is this a late realization or is anybody else starting to get the hots for Ronnie? Ok, as quickly as it came, it’s gone. I put it out there.

Moving forward. As August rounds the final corner of it’s first week (I can’t believe it’s almost time to start thinking about getting ready for class again), here is the week that was.

* I went to New York this week and Williamsburg was infested with them.  Hipsters. And New York isn’t the only place feeding the crop of PBR drinking people who don’t smile. Time to hate on the hipsters.

* It’s that time of month again. . .the time of month where you don’t feel like doing it. Wait. . .what?

* Since college is creeping around the corner, time to pimp out your dorm room so you can show it off to all of those drunkie boys you will be showing it to. At 2 am. Don’t worry, they will appreciate your David Beckam poster. And they will like it.

* Now, focusing on school.  CollegeCandy points you in the right direction better than a Target employee. Time to get school supply shopping. Read More »

Can anyone believe we’re nearing the end of the second week of June? It seems like just yesterday we were packing up, hugging our BFFs goodbye and settling back into our childhood bedrooms. And now summer has come upon us so quickly I haven’t even had time to go swimsuit shopping! We’ve even already had the MTV Movie Awards, which means the 4th of July is just around the corner.

But before we start counting down the days until the end of the summer, let’s stop time and relish in the week that was:

* Behold: the 30 most overrated dudes in Hollywood.

* Stuck inside without a chance to see the sun? Have no fear, my friend; there is a better, more natural way to get your tan on this summer.

* And here is a tasty, refreshing and couldn’t-be-easier-to-make recipe that will get you through the humid, hot, and brutal summer ahead.

* We all know we get by with a little help from our friends, but do you know what type of friends will help you out the most? We do. And did you know just how good your friends can be for your future? Now you do.

* What is “healthy”? Is it skinny? Is it athletic? Is it one of these gorgeously curvy women? Read More »

As of right now, I have been in the library for a duration of eleven hours. Working on one paper. I left for an hour to steal a free hot dog from a baseball game on campus. This is my life. And it’s probably yours if you are stuck in the tornado of finals week, sucking the fun out of our lives.  I know it will be over soon, but how many florescent library lights and Pandora commercials can one girl take!?

Until then, I’m going to try and get through it all. Maybe Google image search Liam Hemsworth, watch a few YouTube videos of people falling…

So after you catch up on the absolutely insane Hill’s episode from this week, and the Gossip Girl episode that made us wonder where Rufus is keeping his waffle maker, check out a week that was:

- Since it’s almost summah time (thank you!) it’s time to bling up your closet with this easy-to-make tank.

- Call me guilty, in the midst of finals week H-E double hockey sticks, I forgot about Mother’s Day. But we have five Mother’s Day gifts that are totally worth the weight in gold your mom’s home cooking.

- House parties versus campus bar. We discovered they are not one in the same. Who knew?

- Tiger Woods speaks at a marriage seminar – Just kidding! But Chris Brown sings the anthem at a boxing match. Who is his PR person? Read More »

My favorite combination of four letters is finally here: TGIF.

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. Read More »

In case you’ve been locked in a soundproof, internet, cell phone, and calendar-free room for the past week, let me be the first to remind you that there’s a holiday happening this Saturday. A wonderful holiday full of tricks, sweets, and more grown-up treats. A holiday that lets every girl unleash her inner sex kitten, vixen, or Beyonce—provided she’s old enough. A holiday that makes it okay to wear anything, even glow in the dark pants. (Um… unless you’re a dude who wants to wear leggings. That’s never okay.)

But Halloween’s not all candy and luminescent trousers. You’ve got to be careful that you know how to get rid of full-face makeup before you make a move on that chubby but hilarious cutie in the SuperJew costume. You’ve also got to remember to watch the volume after taking him home. And try to manage your expectations about the encounter—this isn’t a movie, after all.

It’s also important to make sure you don’t accidentally raise the dead. Of course, if you do have any encounters with a zombie, it’ll be easy enough to find another final resting place for him—just stop into your local Walmart .

Either way, you’ll definitely have a ton of sweet pictures to add to your Facebook on November 1. And if your overindulgence on Saturday gives you a little bit of extra cushion for the pushin’, you can always call your friendly neighborhood plastic surgeon and get that flab turned into something fabulous.

Transformations: they’re not just for Halloween anymore.
