Why I Don't Believe In The Hookup Culture

You could look like Ryan Gosling and I still would not climb into bed with you.

Why I Don't Believe In The Hookup Culture
MSU Today

College is a time to explore and be free, right? You do not have time to worry about finding your future spouse so you might as well just go out and mingle with no expectations. It's totally OK to go out, get plastered, and then wake up in bed with a guy you don't remember meeting. For some people this mentality is OK, but I don't believe in it.

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe that you should at least be in a committed relationship with someone before you sleep with them. Sex is one of the most sacred and special things you can share with someone, so why would you want to waste that on the guy that looked "hot" at the bar the night before but refuses to call you the next day? Or the douche-y fraternity president who will not amount to anything? It's not worth your time.

I believe in holding myself to a higher standard and valuing my self-worth. Don't get me wrong, I've shared some really good kisses after a night out, but I never once jumped into bed with them. Unfortunately, this stereotypes me as being a "prude" or even a "stuck up bitch" because I refuse to spread my legs for a lousy college boy.

Well, here is what I have to say to you:

Call me a prude because it doesn't bother me one bit. I would rather be known as that then the slut who has slept with half of your house. If you ever get the chance to sleep with me (which you won't) then you should consider yourself lucky that I have saved this special moment for you. You think I am a stuck up bitch? Well, you might be right about that one because I do know that I am better than that. I'm not going to be another number in your sex count and if you are stupid enough to give me crap for it, then I will be a bitch. Why? Because bitches get stuff done.

If you want any chance to even remotely get close to me, then respect me and my decisions. You could be the long lost identical twin to Ryan Gosling, and I still wouldn't crawl into bed with you. I'd rather have someone who cares about me for my personality, my love for cats, my driven attitude, and my decisions I have made. If you can't value me for that, then I don't have room in my life for you.

To the other girls who choose to participate in the hookup culture: I'm not judging you. This is your college experience and if you like the no-strings-attached lifestyle, then good for you! Sometimes people are not the "relationship type" and would rather have these experiences before life gets real, and that is okay. Just never let some stupid college boy disrespect you because you aren't doing things the way he likes.

As for me, I will be waiting for the right guy to come into my life before I make moves and that is perfectly fine with me because I know that I respect myself and my goals.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
