I never had a pet growing up. I know, I know. Stop crying for me, guys. I’m okay now. I finally got over it. We had a couple birds (they don’t count), and we also had a dog for about two days until my parents gave it back. (Don’t even get me started…) I have always lived vicariously through my friends who have dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, etc. I was insanely jealous of them when I was younger and wished that I could have their pets as my pets. I wanted to become a professional pet-napper, if you will.

As a little girl deprived of a childhood pet, I quickly came to love YouTube. Basically for its plethora of dog videos, cat videos, any cute animal videos, etc. Some of the best videos out there are of pets doing silly tricks for treats. Instead of working on your resume or that final paper, why don’t you watch all these videos instead? Because Sundays are for procrastinating, and this is the perfect way to do that! Enjoy!

When asked the question, “Do you do marathons?” She promptly responds, “Of course! Which show?” Follow her @KatieGarrity!

I’m one of those people who never really knows what to do in an awkward situation. Keep quiet and fiddle with my hands? Sounds good to me. So, when I came across this video of a guy quitting jobs he never even had, I didn’t know whether to laugh uncontrollably or feel really cringe-y for his victims. It’s clear no one really knows how to respond to his sudden resignation, especially when he cites feeling ignored and under-valued when — truth be told — these employers have no idea who he is. Awkward!

If you need a laugh this morning, check out Peter Butterman’s head-scratching antics and maybe get inspired to quit a few jobs you never had, too.

Even though it’s so cathartic to vomit a few passive aggressive phrases on your Facebook status update or TwitPic a shot of the horribly dressed person standing ahead of you in line, don’t ever slam your parents on social media. Because you just might end up with BULLETS in your laptop and accidental YouTube infamy, just like Hannah did.

An upset father made the following video to rant about his daughter’s rebellious activity on Facebook: posting a list of her first world problems and slamming her parents on the social networking platform. Watch it for a reading of her posts and his response as a father, a guy who works in information technology for a living, and a guy with a gun:

And here’s the Hot Button Issues of the week: clearly, this guy is upset with his lazy and entitled 15-year-old daughter, but is that a reason to shoot her laptop and tape it for the world to see? He could have donated that laptop to a less-fortunate family or a local school that needs another piece of equipment; he could have sold the laptop to make up for all the money he’s invested in what’s become her gadgets used solely for social media purposes.

I understand that he’s trying to make an example out of her horribly embarrassing and immature behavior—which he does, in my opinion, up until he gets out of his chair, grabs the video camera and wastes a perfectly upgrade laptop and a good set of bullets on his anger. Because in that moment, he went from the caring father with a daughter who seriously slammed her parents on Facebook to the trigger-happy daddy whose daughter is lucky she wasn’t home while he made this video.

What do you think about this father’s punishment for a daughter who slammed her parents on Facebook? Was it a little immature himself, or is it right on target?

She’s fascinated with celebrities and strawberry beer and doubles as a pathological texter/emailer/blogger. Feed the addiction with tweets @cashleelee. Thanks in advance.

Being lazy is good for you.

It seems that whenever we girls decide to go out, we end up walking into the bar or club with a posse of, like, 15 females. Once we’re in our element, we “dance, dance, dance” and “text, text, text”. This hilarious music video does a wonderful job of explaining just what happens when a huge group of girls roll into a bar. There’s even a “Drunk Girl Roll Call” including Becky, who’s that one girl’s cousin. Not to mention, the song is sort of catchy! I think we can all relate to this in one way or another, and it gave me a good laugh! Enjoy!

Chelsea Gill put pen to paper when it came to scoring a date with her celeb crush, Jason Segel. She wrote a super creative song for the actor that combined nerdy, cute and clever in equal measures. Name dropping both the Muppets and Lord of the Rings, we’re hoping Jason accepts her invitation to grab some drinks before the year’s over. And, in what we’d argue is the best stanza, college-student Chelsea let’s her date know he’s got nothing to worry about: “Oh Jason Segel/It’s important you know I’m legal/So any crazy sh*t you wanna do/Just know I can do it too.”

Word on the street is that Jason has seen the video and is asking for a few days to compose his own musical response. Get excited!!

We’re looking for a new great idea for a CollegeCandy YouTube series, and we want an even greater personality to bring it all to life. CC is all about wild conversations, eye-opening content and having fun…basically no topic is off limits.

Have you ever been told that you’re outgoing, enthusiastic, energetic and motivated? Do you want to capture the attention of the entire CollegeCandy audience? Do you have that one great idea that’s going to shoot you into internet fame?  Send your ideas and a sample video to editor [at] collegecandy [dot] com with “YouTube Star” in the subject line.

In a mix of “funny because it’s true” and “funny because that’s totally a dude pretending to be a girl and I’m immature enough to still giggle over that alone,” the Sh*t Girls Say YouTube series has been a pretty significant success. I’ve been eagerly awaiting a third installment, but kinda would have liked to have waited a little longer. Not sure what I mean? Just watch the latest episode below. It’s just not good. Is Sh*t Girls Say becoming one of those things that burns fast and hard, but dies out early? Say it ain’t so!

Let me know your take on the sitch below. Maybe I’m still just sensitive after spending 48 hours with extended family members all up in my biz. I could be overreacting. But I don’t think so.

It’s rare that we’re jealous of New Jersey. Extremely rare. But when Improv Everywhere showed up in one of their malls and performed a spontaneous concert in front of surprised mall guests, we couldn’t help but wish we were there.

So take a break from writing your Christmas list, make yourself a cup of hot cocoa (with extra marshmallows) and turn the volume up!

You probably already follow CollegeCandy’s great web series like CC Beauty Live and Ask a Roommate, but did you know we actually have our own YouTube channel? Yup, that’s right! If there was a beauty tip you missed, a morsel of dating wisdom you didn’t catch or a roommate quandary you need to get sorted, we have all the videos you’ve seen (and a few you probably haven’t), neatly organized in one spot.

The CollegeCandyTV channel is also the one you want to be watching for when we air new web series.

So since you’ve already liked us on Facebook and followed us on Twitter and Tumblr, you should obviously subscribe to CC on YouTube!
