So, it’s March.

In like a lion, out like a lamb…still kinda winter, but almost spring…warmish days, but cold nights…basically, March is a cocktease. And we all know that no one likes a cocktease.

As you attempt to focus on the oncoming warmth, fight the urge to wear you sandals and t-shirts when it’s still 50 degrees out (and those of you who actually go through with it, you’re not fooling anyone in your practiced nonchalance. We all know you’re freezing), and get ready to deal with the mindf&%ck that are finals, just know that CollegeCandy is right there with you—ready to lift those weary spirits with witty witticisms and opinionated opinions.

If you like what you’ve been reading (we’ve gotten like 99867 new writers, and it’s fantastic), and feel like telling a few rad girls about us, we’d be wicked grateful. Our continued success in this crazy jungle that is cyberspace is basically in your hands, and the more wonderful readers we have, the more wonderful things will happen!

That being said, let us know in the comments below what you’d like to see more of, if you have any story ideas, and what we should continue to do. Know ways for us to increase our readers? Want to help us get advertised in your school? Want to be our friend on Facebook?

Thanks again for being such wonderful ladies, readers. And remember…strength, confidence, and badassness always does a body good!

I recently ran across a story on Five Blondes about something that sounds like it was written in the Old Testament. A mother tigress in a California zoo recently had a litter; however, since the little guys were premature, they didn’t make it. The mom was clearly depressed about the lack of little mewls, and started to decline in health. The zoo looked everywhere for cubs for the mom to take care of in her former cub’s stead, but no dice.

All they did manage to find was a bunch of piglets. But how to make a tiger thing that the little pink squealing things running around her are her cubs and not dinner? Easy; stick them in tiger skin. Read More »
