Let's Play the Dating Game!

That's what everyone does in college, right?

No?

Man I am in some other dimension or something.

Let's talk about dating. No, don't walk away from me, I see what you're doing. It's time we talk about this.

You're going through a lot of changes, and now you're free and on your own. You may want to party and have sex with anything, right? Well kiddo, that's all well and good, but I can't give two fucks about what you do.

Just play it safe.

To slightly move away from that personal and clearly deep conversation, I think that when it comes to hooking up, as long as they use protection it isn't going to hurt them, unless they think it's their way into an honest and deep series of relationships. That's when you need to get it together, and look for women outside the bars. Unless that's your type. I ain't going to judge you. I might when you're not around, but eh. Anyways, try and make time for dates, do away with some party time and work in some date time with the respective man or woman of your current affection.

So, you may also be in a long-distance relationship, and it can seem like the odds are against you. I've been there, and let me tell you.

Let. Me. Tell. You.

I'm telling ya', you better listen.

It can work.

Keep in touch, trust one another, and work at it day by day. The internet does wonders for video calls. Skype, MSN, Oovoo (or however you spell that) are alternatives that can help you see each other's faces every day. If you care enough about each other to stay together despite not being close, then you've got something special. 

So, you know, keep at it.

Or don't.

Do whatever.

I DON'T CARE!

This Generation Is Silly.

Grandma-

Grandma no

None of those are even things

WHO USES MYSPACE ANYMORE, COME ON GRANDMA.

*Ahem* Anyways.

Kids Parents these days, having to deal with their kids growing up on them ipads, xbox 360's and them Disney channel original movies. The third thing is an oddly specific and not very concerning example, but I just like pointing it out. Phineas and Ferb is a pretty good show though. I don't care what people say, that show don't rot your brain.

Though lots of television is pretty distracting. Also apparently bad since parents aren't strict enough with their kids on what kinds of TV or internet services they have acquired or something. Well, some are, but most aren't. I know growing up my mother just let me do anything.

I ended up PRETTY good, if I may say so myself.

However...this new bunch of kiddies seems to be doing so much more than I had when I was younger. I had a windows 95 to experiment with from time to time, but these guys have ipads that they just need to TOUCH to make something happen. No need for any other train of thought. Touch a thingy, colors change. Sounds pretty good for a kid. Except they all have ipods. Like, elementary school kids are plugged in all day. I didn't get an ipod until my freshman year of high school. Maybe I'm just weird.

While all of these may be fresh and new tools for learning, they should be done within moderation. We do live in an age where the TV is our host come dinnertime, and we don't talk a lot. If that happens to kids since they are BORN, then not only do we lose that idea of a traditional family dinner, it kills conversation in the household.

Though, technology can still benefit kids, and teach them the tools that this new age brings us.

If you're okay with him discovering porn, then it's fine.

When I'm 80 and using a laptop with a drawing tablet, I will be mocked for not having the mind-reading-tablet.

Eating Is Important. IS THIS TRUE?

Wait, what?

It was supposed to say Eating Healthy Is Important?

That can't be right.

Wait. Oh. I see my mistake. Though I like my version better.

College has all those crazy rumors going around. Like, if you stay up all night in some place some ghost may come and haunt your ass. Or that since you've gained college, you are going to make all the wrong choices and gain weight too. Those are just rumors, of course. Don't ask where I heard them from. 

Freshman fifteen is a scary topic I guess, especially for those who are particularly worried about their weight all the time. You may stop eating right without guidance, but you don't care, you are your own man and/or woman! These nifty articles provided about them do plan out some good ideas to help everyone eat a little bit better.

Though I am never asking anyone at Conn Hall "Where the steamed veggies at?"

While reading through these, despite being a commuter I can see myself making sure I do all the little extra things to make sure I'm healthy. Though, surprisingly I've lost a couple of pounds since I've started college. I mean, I MAY have not had lunch sometimes when things started out, but I'm working back into a healthy eating habit.

I still endorse my weight loss program: Commute. 

Preferably with me, so you can pay me gas money.

I have no job.

Anyways, I think that if everyone just sets limits or even keeps track of what they eat once every 2-3 weeks, it's small steps to a healthier you. Then again, I'm not at the peak of healthiness, so maybe you should aim a bit higher than that. Do what those articles told you. It'll help. 

I'm finding loopholes in some of their alternatives, though.
