Methinks she must have taken that "just say no" / abstinence, etc. doublethink a little too seriously. I hereby dub her generation of whiners, the "just say no" generation.

It sounds like she'll be bummed out if she gets anything less than a blizzard and a Braizer burger in a '55 chevy, wearing her sweater, and a kiss at the door.

sad

Everybody in the Rugby Club had ridden her...

yeah, she is completely off base, completely out of touch, and stupid as a rock.

I wish someone would buy her a clue.

She went out of her way to make it plane that she's speaking in generalities here

Then she has no business in journalism. Get these people out of the business. Please.

Probably too late.

Well, she's not "in" journalism per se. She writes a column for a mediocre college newspaper, which is to journalism as Dragonball-Z slash fiction is to literature.

There's Dragonball Z slash fiction?

*shudders*

I agree Q.M. She is certainly playing in the minor leagues, and with her 'talent' it is obvious that she should never make it to a real newspaper.

Queen Mushroom

You just described USA Today.

People read it. And trust it.

Central Michigan a party school? Are you serious? That's a one horse town if I ever saw one. Not a single person I knew who went to CMU returned after their first year. Boring!

Yep, that's dating in college. Isn't it sweet? Always on the prowl for Mr. and Mrs. Tonight.

Good line!

I think most people spread a little pollen in college.

I managed to stay away from the drugs but me likey the girls.

Her point is well taken, but maybe she just has slutty friends. I had a bunch of friends who slept around pretty cavlierly, and some who were looking for love. Most were like me, though, and were looking to score the first couple years, and settling down a bit towards the end. And since it happened that way for me, I know for sure that that's how it is for everyone, everywhere, at any period in history.

Once again, a columnist for a student newspaper thinks that her generation has invented casual sex.

Ho-hum.

Never seen a column like that before.

This AIDS thing is not working.

Perhaps they are perplexed?

Where do I sign up to be the beach volleyball stallion?

Ken_Iseeum

I hear some kids worked their way through college - thereby having little time for such bacchanalia

Amen to that. I didn't even look at women in college; too busy working. I ended up dropping out anyway, so maybe I should have tried what little luck I had.

I'm faced with the fact that I'm apparently "too datable" and the current infatuation of mine isn't ready to date someone right now. Which sucks cause she is so great and hot to boot.

She stinks.

maybe I'm just bitter because everyone is getting some action and I'm not. BAH!

"Central Michigan a party school? Are you serious? That's a one horse town if I ever saw one. Not a single person I knew who went to CMU returned after their first year. Boring!"

Sorry that all your friends are dropouts jgi.

All I want to know is:



Who'd hit it?

Jgi: And if you couldn't find a crazy party on any given Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night at Central then you are eaither

A.) Hanging out with the wrong people

or

B.) Not looking for a party

Can't exactly blame a college for 'not being a party school' or being a 'one horse town' if all you do is sit around by yourself.

SmitetheRighteous:

Where the hell do these sensationalists go to school? My school was by no means dry but jebus, they make it sound like it's all one nonstop orgy 180 days a year

You just have to know where to look.

binnster:

Let's just get that straight before I get another round of psychotic hate mail.

Hint: You won't get psychotic hate mail if you stop writing complete and utter shiat.

At the univesity that I attend the writers for the newspaper actually try to write controversial stuff so that people will respond. And then, like, no one does. And then the writers complain about that next issue.

Worst university newspaper ever.

Xetal.

What are you defending? You have no idea what I did when I visited CMU. I did look for a party, I attended one, and it was horrible.

But, then again, I went to MSU. So, uh, we like to get a bit more rowdy than most.

a nice cup of frozen yogurt

She did get something right. A cup of frozen yogurt is nice.

theflyingdutchman: I don't know where you attend college, but I would like to lay claim that my university has the worst school paper. A little over a year ago they had this article by one of their male staff members that said girls in college that have boyfriends should wear dots on their foreheads to indicate that they are "taken". And that girls who have boyfriends back home away from college or elsewhere should dump them to give the guys at their college a chance.
Worst article ever.

It is strange that the word 'marriage' carries the letters for 'rage' in it!

There is no point to dating in college or high school. Everybody is an unproven loser until they hit the real world. If your intent is to mate and have offspring and further the species continuation into the future, dating doesn't prove shiat until your out in the world being productive and supporting yourself and therefore proving yourself.

Relationships are stressful enough for people who know what they are doing. For students, its just another impediment to graduation and results in Mommy and Daddy paying for more average grades over a longer period of time. So if students want to scratch that itch, why not go for responsible one-nighters? No baggage.

In the words of a farting dog:

"Roll that beautiful bean footage!"

We want tapes! We want tapes!

Oh, and only one of my friends is a drop out. The rest went to other universities in Michigan.

But to attack both our schools, there really isn't a good academic school in Michigan other than Kalamazoo. I wish I would have went there. Or out of state.

Additionally, their National College Health Risk Behavior Survey found an increase in alcohol use during sexual activities among 18 to 24-year-olds from 1991 to 2001.


Did we really need a study to tell us that?

Is that communism?

Bah. Maybe I should have partied more in college, instead of studying. I wasn't into drinking or one night stands.

Might explain my lack of social life now ;)

Oh, and I'd hit it

dogfather_jr

Maybe I'd hit it. She's have to have a pretty damn good personality though. Second thought, no. She's probably the type of broad with tons of sexual hang-ups ("no kissing, just intercourse") and opinions on everything from the war in Iraq to network programming.

-desperate...but not too desperate.

jgi:

You are looking in the wrong place then. But if you go to MSU then you are probebly looking for a riot, not a party... and you don't find many of those here. We perfer parties over riots because we are sane.

And as far as a 'good' school goes, I would argue that a 'good' school is one that gets you a job, as a majority of people who graduate from college end up in a workplace dissimilar from their area of study.

Also "Mother In Law" is an anagram
of "Woman Hitler"...

snerff, snerff, snerff!

This kind of article depresses me. Apparently there are all these women out there looking to get laid in my university, and I can't get a single one.

Xetal:

You may be right. I was an English major and am currently working in London at a publisher. But I don't feel I got the best education I could have. And plus the work force is for suckers - I want to return to school and pursue higher degrees.

And you've got a lot of rage in you. I'm not attacking you here.

...opinions on everything from the war in Iraq to network programming.

A Farquette?

Oh.

Can I be back in college now please, Mr. Wizard?

jgi:

not rage exactly, just a little peeved that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops that take 4 years of my life and a lot of money... just to prove that I can jump through outdated hoops and that I will commit myself to something that is pointless for 4 years because I was told to.

And as far as education goes, most universities hire professors on one sole basis: If they do research and publish. Personally I would rather have someone who... I donno... can TEACH, but maybe that's just me.

So as far as I see it, unless you are going into certain fields, then what you do/study as an undergrad is pointless... just get good grades in whatever and have a fun time.

Oh, and if you know where to look you can make good money with a B.S. (Bat of Sci, not bullshat) degree.

I go to a college whose newspaper was ranked best in the country by Spin Magazine. And yet it sucks dirty hairy balls. School newspapers are just people you don't care about giving opinions you don't want to hear. And, as someone said above, they're attention whores. They try to be controversial and edgy just so they can get angry letters, which, of course, never come.

A lot of them, like Erin McNeedaweener, have become geezers before their time. They use pop-culture references that are so horribly out of date it's painful.

Preach on Sister!

Sex is almost always better when I'm sober

P.S. Grammer-Spelling-Natzi pack up and GO HOME!

Hooking up is nothing new. I finished my undergrad in '96 and that's all anyone did back then. The irony was that it was explained to my by a girl I was desparately trying to hook up with who wouldn't have farked me to save her life.

Of course that was at U of Delaware, one of the more notorious party schools.

how much you wanna bet this chick has had her fill of one night stands?

keylock71:

At least now that you are older you can say something like that and not have to worry about 'not gettin any' ;)
