Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief – Last week, I wrote about jealousy and the numerous ways it can affect a romantic relationship, especially during the college years. However, the reliance on technology in the world today, particularly in the younger generation, also plays a major role in the jealousy factor. Facebook, texting, phone calls and different applications on cell phones all bring out jealousy in people. Social media has a [...]

Megan Delp, Managing Editor - Can jealousy be avoided in romantic relationships? I believe jealousy is one of the most common reasons couples, especially in college, fight. However, jealousy can be a dangerous emotion that can cause a relationship to take a turn for the worse. I do not think anyone wants to be a jealous person but it is instead a reflection of the individual and the relationship. In [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief - What is a “booty call?” Is it similar to other types of relationships or sexual relations that are accepted and seen in today’s society, especially in the college environment? The “booty call” seems to be term that is used in a joking or degrading manner. It also seems to be used specifically directed towards women instead of men, but why? This issue refers back [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief – Parents are the people that are credited as the individuals who raise us and help us grow into the people we are today, because of the either the large or lack of influence they have in our lives. But does this influence later show in our relationships? Every individual has their story, one differing from the next, that explains why we become the people [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief - Do past relationships affect the way you act, behave or feel in other relationships? I believe you learn something from every relationship or “hook up” you have. It might be something positive or negative but I am believer that no matter what you get from the relationship it helps you grow as a person and better future relationships. During my time spent in past [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief - Cheating is something that seems to have become a norm to both see and experience on college campus, but why?  And what is it that makes people cheat, I feel like now more than ever in our lives?  As we are well into the school year, almost at the mid-term break (scary to think about), it seems to be a turning point for us [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Cheif - Why is it that if girls “hook up” with a few guys then they are labeled as “sluts,” while on the other hand if a guy “hooks up” with half of the girls on campus he is the man? It seems that our society has a double standard for men and women and the way that handle their intimate sexual lives, but can it [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Chief - Why is it that the world of dating and relationships seem to differ greatly during the four years of college from the world outside of college? What does it mean to be “together?” And has the “hook up” culture replaced the dating culture in college? And most importantly, what is hooking up? “Only yesterday boys and girls spoke of embracing and kissing (necking) as [...]

Megan Delp, Copy Desk Cheif - As a new school year begins some friendships and relationships will end while others begin to form, but this leaves me wondering, can long-distance relationships ever really last in college?  I think that our society has assumptions about college students and our intentions we have with one another.  Although some college students are in long distance relationships, a majority of them do not last [...]
