Bloggers Turned Writers: GOOD Writers

Since the Internet has taken over our lives, we’ve been given a little gift called The Blog.
A blog is the new school term for “Dear Diary”, and who would have ever guessed that diary entries could be so entertaining — entertaining enough for people to make a career out of exposing their inner most […]

High School Confidential: Familiar, Yet Still Heartbreaking

Apparently the people over at WE think that they’re onto something new by revealing “the truth” behind high school on the new show High School Confidential. Well shocker; it’s not all peachy f*cking keen.
I’m sure you could have stopped any kid on the street with a skateboard or girl buying leggings at Forever 21 and […]

The Microwave: A “Cooks” best friend

Being in college can be tough. You desperately miss your momma’s cooking, warm foods, and a three-meal-a-day regime that doesn’t consist entirely of non-perishables.
That being said, a college dorm or a tiny apartment doesn’t often have the kitchen equipped for culinary excellence. And though I’d like to have an entire spice rack of exotic […]

CITY SPOTLIGHT: Portland

Everyone has been so busy constantly hyping how amazing Seattle is (and it is) that Portland often gets lost in the mix. I feel it’s our duty to give it it’s own marquee of greatness. So here it is.

My St. Patrick’s Day Mission: Food and Green Beer

St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, MISSION AT HAND: Find. green. beer.
Oh? Is that just me?? No, it isn’t. I’m on a mission for two things: green beer and a leprechaun.
I’ve already found the pot of gold, and I’m spending last year’s treasure on this year’s beer, so I’ll leave some wealth for you all…::hint hint::…it […]

Men Who Sing Turn Me On: Hot Artists You Need To Know

I’ve always said I wanted a boyfriend who could sing.
Then I found one, and he ended up being a jackass, but that had nothing to do with the singing. The singing made the douche-ness bearable for far too long.
The singing…was wonderful.
And yes, maybe it’s a bit narcissistic to want your name in a song, or […]

HPV: What Is It? And Could I Have It?

The first time I heard about HPV (Human papillomavirus), I’m pretty sure it was during a flash of a Gardisal commercial where a fresh faced young women talked about a vaccine to help prevent it.
My first thought? What is HPV? My second thought, if there’s no signs of symptoms, how do I know I […]

CITY SPOTLIGHT: Happy Hour — Part One

It’s called “Happy Hour” because cheap food, cheap drinks, and the end of the work day= HAPPY.
Being that most of us are ridiculously broke, Happy Hour is Ecstatic Hour, easy on the bank account and good for the soul. CollegeCandy wants to assist you all in saving your money to pay for those student loans, […]
