What Having A Threesome Is Really Like

Threesome Expectations Vs. Reality?

What Having A Threesome Is Really Like

Looking to invite a third party into the bedroom? You may want to reconsider. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but threesomes are not anything like they are portrayed in television and movies. Here, I put six of the biggest myths about threesomes to bed.

1. Expectation: Everyone will have fun!

Reality: Ehhh someone will always feel left out. Often, two people will get hot and heavy, leaving the third person to feel left out.

2. Expectation:  We'll just wing it.

Reality: Yeah you need to set clear boundaries and plan it ahead of time. The last thing you want is for anyone, including yourself, to feel uncomfortable, jealous, or pissed off mid-coital.

3. Expectation:  You'll never want to go back to two-person sex again.

Reality: Nope one person is definitely enough. Threesomes are just not the same as they lack intimacy.

4. Expectation:  It will be stimulating to be continuously multitasking. 

Reality: It is way too fucking hard and complicated. You will have to thrust both hands wildly about and work your mouth all times, whether it be moaning or occupied.

5. Expectation:  It will be 2 women and 1 guy. 

Reality: Umm that is not always true. Enough said.

6. Expectation:  This won't affect my relationship with these people. 

Reality: Yeah no it totally will. If you have a threesome with your BFF and her partner, you may never be able to shake the visual of them getting it on. Plus, it can stir trouble when your BFF thinks her partner likes you more now.

Bottom line: Threesomes can be amazing, however, they are not for everyone. And, if they are not planned accordingly, it can be a horrendous experience.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
