Hook-Up Culture

The act of "hooking up" is a young adult phase. As the students begin to mature and age they will leave this culture. Sex is supposed to be a sacred exchange of love between two people that care for each other. The students involved don't understand and will soon regret what they have done. They believe it is harmless and if two consenting adults agree but there is more to it.

It is unfortunate that these men and women give their body's do freely. The next day the guy may wake up with no regrets but the girl has to feel a little ashamed. The female basically let him have the milk without buying the cow. I personally couldn't be put in that position. I would want more for myself because I deserve better.

I understand everyone has personal needs but there is a safer way to go about it. Many of the students who "hook up" probably "hook up" with multiple partners. This helps the STD count increase around campus. Some "hook up" with complete strangers and know nothing about the other person. You should at least get to know the person by going on a few dates first. Jumping directly into bed because you were horny is a silly and possibly deadly mistake.

College students are in transition from childhood to adulthood and will fail a few tests in life. But this test can do more harm than good. The one night of pleasure can bring a long term feeling of pain. "Hooking up" is a temporary way of life and they will soon learn why.

Leave Michelle Alone!

The Inauguration was a beautiful day in history but the media had to say something negative. I dislike the attack on Michelle Obama’s wardrobe. The media is known for expressing their feelings on who’s hot and whose not, but when will it end?

Michelle Obama is showing the world that you don’t have to be high maintenance and wear expensive clothing all the time. Michelle has come from an American family with high morals and values. She probably grew up with items that she needed, not wanted. Her parents most likely instilled values to not over do it, if it wasn’t necessary. The less you spend the more you will have.

If she wore expensive clothing the media would wonder where the money came from. The media picked at Palin, McCain and is wife for wearing designer suits and paying over $150,000 for clothing. Everyone wondered why he or she paid so much and continued to flash their money around. So pretty much, the media will always have something to say regardless of the situation.

I defend First Lady Michelle Obama because she is a nice, kindhearted woman who has done no harm to anyone. The media needs to acknowledge her attitude towards fashion. Many of her outfits are from young, American designers who aren’t well known. She is displaying their designs for all of America as well as other countries to see. First Lady is also showing America you can still be classy, presentable, and affordable in this time of crisis. She is a role model now and I believe she’s off to a great start.
