Birth Control

OK, so the New York Times just came out with an article about the price increase of birth control. This made me think about the school I attend and the women roaming my campus. Because I go to a predominantly white school that is fairly middle/upper class, many of the women that attend can afford birth control. This is good because that means there isn't a whole bunch of pregnant women walking around. However, this means that these women no longer feel the need to use condoms. This in turn means that STD's are rampant on my campus! AWESOME. And of course this doesn't necessarily apply to those in monogamous realtionships, but rather those having meaningless sex and having mulitple parteners. Being single and having sex is fine, but for christ's sake, use a condom!! I find it so amusing to think about all of those sorority girls running around getting drunk and having sex with random men and getting all kinds of fun things. Boy, we are a smart bunch!

Libraries

I am once again at the University library, where I find myself most productive. But let me tell you something, libraries are one amusing place. Perhaps because I find libraries to amusing, they are actually not the best place for me to study, but whatever. You see EVERYTHING at the library. I think one of my favorite things to see at the library is sleeping people. My guess would be that at the library between the hours of 12pm and 6pm, there are probably at least 6 people taking a nap. Just passed out on their text books at some random table. My favorite is watch a person start to fall asleep because they are using every ounce of strength they have left to keep their eyes open, using their fingers, slapping their faces, drinking water but constantly nodding off. And all they are really doing to delaying the inevietable, you are about to fall asleep. Once they realize that fact, it's all over, and that person puts their head down on the table and suddenly that book feels like the softest pillow ever. After several minutes of napping, said person will pick their head up, look around, be embarrassed, and hope that no one actually saw them sleeping in a public place. But who are we kidding, libraries are nice places to sleep, they're quiet, temperature controlled, and no one is going to kick you out (unless you are trying to live there).
Another awesome thing about libraries is the people watching. Literally every type of person comes through the library because we all have one thing in common, homework. Sorority girls, jocks, preppy guys, goths, nerds, weirdos, basically any other stereotype that you can think of.
Libraries are AWESOME.

Trustfund University

So my always fabulous sister and myself took a trip to Nordstrom today, for our always favorite retail therapy. While we were browsing the handbags, we stumbled upon a shocking accessory. It was a small case from Juicy Couture that had "Trustfund University" on the side. Let me give you a second to recover from the shock. That's right, trustfund university. So this basically means that if you buy Juicy Couture, it must be purchased with daddy's money. So I don't really know when high fashion was given permission to be unbelievably trashy, but apparently that's the case. I am now utterly disgusted and opposed to Juicy Couture.

Online Dating

I've been thinking a lot about the internet dating revolution. Suddenly, online dating isn't for creeps and ugly people. It's for EVERYONE. My generation included. And this is just amazing, because now anyone can sign on, and find their perfect match. Its brilliant. Online dating takes the grunt work out of dating. Instead of meeting someone, doing the awkward getting to know each other phase, exchanging phone numbers, waiting for the phone call, going on an the first date, deciding whether or not this person is worth your time, and then finding out whether or not the feelings are mutual. With online dating, you can decide whether or not you like a person before you even contact them. And obviously you both are looking for a relationship, and you know right away if someone is single. It's so simple! I was on craigslist.com looking at the personal ads, and seriously everyone from 19 years old to 65 is looking for companionship. I know successful, attractive women who have found a relationship on the internet. So this makes me think, when will real dating become obsolete? If dating online is so simple, and usually successful, will we really need to worry about meeting people at a bar or some other social event?
