Why I Support The Hook Up Cutlure

Just Let It Be

Why I Support The Hook Up Cutlure

Everyone is always around the idea of hooking up and either you are completely okay with the idea or you are wonder how a girl could just be completely okay with hooking up with any guy at any time. The people who usually do not support it are the people who are in relationships and deeply committed and have never had just that one night where they kind of let lose. They are also the people who look at a girl and call her a "slut" or "whore" and whatever else they can think of.

So why do I support the hook up idea? Well I think that sometimes people do not want to settle down or the idea of catching feelings for someone actually terrifies them. Or maybe they just like the idea of trying all different people.

See, my idea of the hook up culture is if you want to hook up with someone than do it. If you are completely comfortable in your skin to let just multiple people see you in the most vulnerable state then go for it. Why should we bring down someone who is completely okay with how they are living? You do not know, maybe they just got out of a long relationship and they are living this moment in their life where they are finding themselves.

I think the reason people hook up is because they do not know what they want out of a relationship, out of a person or even out of their life. The other thing is that they are just looking for someone to satisfy their needs at that moment.

The hookup culture, for the most part, occurs while you are in college where everything is acceptable; drinking on a Monday, not showering for three days, pulling an all nighter and accepting free food at any point that you can. So why can't hooking up be more acceptable? Honestly, I think everyone needs to have at least one hook up. It kind of helps you get over whatever you need to. I also think that hooking up with someone kind of shows you what you are looking for.

Eventually you do get tired of the idea of hooking up and you want more from someone. You start to find yourself looking for someone who you can kind of see yourself doing more than just hooking up. The nice of thing of hooking up you already know what you like and what you do not like so it helps looking for someone.

I think we need to just stop judging someone for wanting to just hook up. Why do you care so much about someone else hooking up with someone if it does not consider you than just let it be? Stop looking at the girls as someone who just flaunts everything they have and start looking at them as wanting to just live their life and enjoying it, also finding their way to the right person.

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?
