Being the blessed individual that I am, I get to go to school for free and live in a dorm free of charge. My dorm is co-ed, and there is about 8 guys to every girl. This being said, a lot of girls will *ahem* "date-around," until they feel that their needs are met and they are satisfied with their pick. Often times I see girls claim that they are "crazy about their boyfriends, found everything that they have ever wanted in a 'man,' and they are even considering living with them once they are done with school." Yet they are self-conscious, un-self-satisfied, and unbalanced. Their entire world evolves around trying to impress their boyfriends and meeting their needs.
Now, I am not saying I have the greatest relationship up there, but I definitely know that it is a healthy one. My boyfriend knows that school is #1, and he is #2, and if it meant leaving him to graduate he would understand. I have with him for 2 years, and within those 24 months, 18 of them have been long distant, yet I still manage to make time for him through out my day. Although I know that I am not the only girl in the dorm whose fortunate enough to have a boyfriend like this, I am one of few.
So the argument I am going to make in my next essay is what is considered a true mature relationship to our generation? Why do we feel the need to have to date around,be attracted to certain stereotypical things in the media, and have certain fulfilled needs? I will also analyze peoples definition of conditioned and unconditioned love. It's going to be fun.
As far of the course of action goes...as I am suppose to wait for a response? I am 6's and 7's here. :(

your course of action might be helping other students understand the situations that they're in, why they feel the need to be, feel and do certain things, by doing exactly what you are, writing about it and sharing it with others in your class. i had no idea slcc had dorms.
