The COC 8 dish: What’s so cool about being in the Council of Cool?

CoC 8 and Dino Imperial

“Friendship! Freebies! Fun! Plus, an environment conducive to creativity and a pint of laughs.” – Crissy

“Letting our voices, and the voices of our peers be heard…through us!” – Gela

“COC is one big opportunity. During the whole thing you learn so much about yourself, other people and ultimately the world. You no longer become a silent bystander but somebody who can actually make a difference.” – Pat

“As a COC member, I get the chance to meet a lot of people, rub elbows with a few celebrities (and get star-struck! Haha!), try new and exciting activities, get cool freebies! It feels great to somehow contribute to the number one teen magazine in the country! But more than anything else, the friendships I have with the COC members really make my COC ride wonderful. Everyone’s just full of energy! Plus, the Candy editors help us become better writers. They also make us feel comfortable when we’re with them Being part of the Candy family is really fun and educating! :)” – Bea

“The perks of the job! Oh I can talk about it all day long and still have more to say the next day. But the coolest thing about being in the council is that you get the chance to meet seven beautiful and talented girls and be friends with them :)” – Mheems

“Being a part of Candy’s COC has been an amazing adventure! Not only do I get to write for the magazine, I also get to experience other things. I have gone to fashion shoots, celebrity interviews and album launches. What more can you ask for? You will always have a great time with the best people you could ever meet! Thanks, Candy for making this one whole year simple unforgettable!” – Rubie

“You get to meet and work with the Candy editors who are all extremely nice and funny. They all make us feel at home so our monthly meetings really turn out to be pizza parties in the Summit office! I love working with seven other talented girls who truly are passionate with what they do. When you put together people like that, when you immerse yourself in all their ideas, you feel that you are part of something really big! Being in the COC, means being part of a family!” – Sandra

“Besides the obvious perks and bragging rights (haha) and the expected sharpening of our writing skills, we get to contribute to the magazine even through simple ways like feedback or article suggestions. For me, I love being in a better position to reach out to fellow Candy girls, because that’s what being a COC member means – you don’t just do it for yourself, you’re also there on behalf of all the other Candy girls out there. But as many of the girls have said, the best thing about it is meeting all these beautiful ladies, both from the Candy team and the COC. It’s a blast working with such a fun, fabulous team! New friends are the best!” – Micah
