Why College Guys Actually Suck

Freshman college guys up until junior year think that commitment is a crime.

My mother always told me that if a man wants you, he'd do anything to keep you.

He'd get on his hands and knees and serve you like you were his queen. You knew you would have a man that loved you for you, if his words rang true because of course actions speak louder than words.

That was the definition of a real man, according to my mother. She told me to find a man that was like no other. Of course, me being me I chuckled and said "Sure mom, I will" but I didn't really see or know, that I would grow up in the world that I live in today, and a man could only love me if I woke up in his bed naked the next day.

I came to college thinking that guys were on a path now to being more mature, I thought I would come to college meeting guys that were better than the ones I had crushes on or dated in high school. I always thought that the guy you would date in college would become your husband, in the beginning of school I was highly convinced that my future husband could be in a class with me to be honest. Oh how I was so wrong.

Freshman college guys up until junior year think that commitment is a crime. Most of the guys I talked to and started flirting with would either lie to me and say they wanted something “genuine” so they could get in my pants, or flat out tell me “before anything starts, I just wanted to say I don’t want to be in a relationship. It’s not you, it’s just me.” It made me feel absolutely horrible!

It was disgusting to figure out that if a guy asked me to sleep with him and I said no, I was no longer good enough, or if I didn’t send him pictures, he didn’t want anything to do with me.

I witnessed someone at a party with eight slashes on his arm, which basically represented the body count that he now had, body count meaning the number of girls that he slept with in his time at college. And he seemed proud of it! He was showing it off to everyone, and it made me sick. I highly don’t understand the college guy mentality. Is there satisfaction of sleeping with multiple girls. Is it funny? Does it help you fit in with your guy friends? Does it make you feel better about yourself? Does it feel good to break a girl’s heart? What happened to thinking if a girl is cute that you should want to get to know her and take her out on a date?

The culture in college now is texting or snap chatting each other until one of you, either the guy or girl, will say, “hey come to my room so we can hang,” which of course is supposed to mean “hey come to my room so we can hook up and then I’ll never talk to you again and totally pretend you’re absolutely nothing to me.”

It destroys a girl’s self esteem when all of a sudden you’re telling her she’s beautiful and then the next day you walk by her in the halls and you don’t even look at her. It just shows how technology is destroying people as well. After everything you said to her over text message you don’t even have the decency to say hi to her in person? I've talked to guys who were no longer interested in me and blocked me the next day on social media, it made me stop and think is there really something wrong with me?

I don’t see what’s wrong in bringing a girl on an actual date, like is it uncool now or something? What’s wrong with a relationship? It just makes no sense to me. I know it means being tied down to one girl but what’s wrong with that especially if you like the girl?! It's messed up that most college guys would rather sleep with a girl then get to know her, what is wrong with our culture today?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
