  • How I Feel About Hooking Up In College

    So I was reading this article on Datingish and posted my opinion.  

    My thoughts are as follows: sure you can do what you want, just understand the repercussions. It seems like too many kids nowadays view college as an excuse; they have the mindset that "college is the time to be wild and have fun."

    After college all those sort of shenanigans are frowned upon, but 'til then go crazy (hence the reason I'm still in school... har har). I personally think college is just a poor excuse people use for making irresponsible decisions. Are they tempting? Yes.  Worth it?  Not to me.  However, I sometimes wonder if I'm the crazy one missing out on all the fun. I wonder if it's worth taking that stand...

    I was pleasantly surprised to find that I'm not alone, and a lot of girls feel the same way. I have restored faith in the world.

    ...Well, a little bit at least.

    P.S. - On another note, remember, after college it's called alcoholism.

    I definitely agree with you! I believe in enjoying yourself in college because everyone needs that, but I hate it when people think it's an excuse to get crazy drunk all of the time and hook up with anyone they want to. it's about education and I think that should be the first priority.

    I never hooked up in college; I think education has lost emphasis over the years and that's kind of the main reason people should go to college.  Yet, many people go to hook-up and do crazy shit they'll regret a few years later and that sounds a bit irrational to me.  If you wanna hook up, you're probably better off spending a few weeks down in areas that have the best clubs.  It'll sure as hell be cheaper, eh?  And it won't interfere with your education.  Save college for education and cut the BS along the way.  Remember:  just because you can, doesn't mean you should.  Do what you want, no one's stopping you, but be aware of the consequences.

    @FunerealOwlblood@xanga - Very much agreed!

    i agree

    I enjoyed myself plenty in college...and I graduated a virgin.  Not sure why I need to have random sex with a bunch of near-strangers who I feel nothing for in order to have a good time.  I had a good time because I had awesome friends who were up for trying new and fun things and weren't afraid to act a bit crazy from time to time.

    Agreed. Well said.

    When I was in college all I did was study.  I didn't party nor hook up.  Maybe, I should have.  For the longest time I felt like I have been missing out on the fun in my youth.  Then again, I'm too shy and pure to do any thing bad that my parents can't know about.
  • cryholy@xanga

    Indeed.
  • toodark__SHOCKstar@xanga

    I've wondered the same things. I think I'm having a good enough time that I won't have any regrets about missing out on stuff. You don't need to take a ride on seventy-twelve discosticks or booze yourself into oblivion to have a fulfilling college experience.
  • theDevilWeeps@xanga

    I don't understand why I can't just wait until I graduate to do all of this. I mean, since I won't be studying much after I get my degree, it won't matter if I blow the weekend getting crunk. Plus it's not like I can get busted for underage drinking. Plus, hooking up with adults who have also graduate from college means they would have more experience than some stuffy freshmen frat loser. Just saying...
  • PunkRockCowboy@xanga

    I just got played by a girl in college.  It happens =/

    hooking up isn't necessarily an irresponsible decision.  It is only irresponsible if you do it unprotected or for the wrong reasons (like, you're upset that you're single/broke up with your boyfriend/etc instead of, "because I wanted to have sex, etc").  

    And if you're responsible ABOUT hooking up- i.e., staying protected, doing it for the right reasons, choosing relatively trustworthy partners, et cetera, there won't necessarily BE "repercussions."

    I feel like naming vague "repercussions" for having sex is really just a slut-shaming tactic....

    (also... do you really think everyone stops hooking up the moment they graduate?   I hope no one seriously expects this or you're in for a rude surprise come "real world" time...)

    College is for experimentation, but you gotta focus on school/academic stuff too. Gotta have a good balance like I always say
  • ChaoyD@xanga

    I just wish people could not/would not lie about their sexual health and/or partners. Get tested, have sex with clean people, use contraceptives and things would be so much easier.
  • Art_Is_War423@xanga

    AMEN! =P Now, i went a little nuts before college (I'm 20, took a couple years off to work & figure out what i wanted out of life) with the whole drinking thing & it's not all it's cracked up to be. It was fun while it lasted but i'm glad i got to exercise it a bit before college because i know i won't be out of control & failing my classes. But i don't see it as an excuse to sleep around.
