The Temptation Of College Campuses

Across the U.S. college students on a variety of campuses have part taken in what is commonly known as the “hookup culture.” The hookup culture does not always have to include sexual intercourse although it most often does, but it is merely the idea of having physical pleasure with another person outside of an emotional relationship. College students, even at some of America’s most prestigious colleges realize hooking up has completely overthrown the idea of being in an actual relationship. Emily Foxhall a Yale student wrote an article for the Yale Daily News in 2010 stating that the hookup culture is so prevalent on Yale’s campus because students have enough stress to worry about, casual hookups are easy (Foxhall, 2010). The question becomes, is the college hookup culture vital and normal to the college experience or should it be condemned for being harmful to college age persons mentality.

By removing all the temptation , start focusing on having and building healthy relationships in your life. Before you cut them off let them know your problem and what your dealing with . Instead of causing that void or friction between you and them . Separating yourself from people that can’t help you with your

College is an idea that many people talk about, but is college really meant for everyone?

In this article, The Seven Deadly Sins of Students, that was published in the Chronicle of Higher Education, the author analyzes his undergraduate students. These college students create “sin-like” behaviors that soon become habits over time. Sometimes these actions are what cause students to take the simpler road, even if it causes them pain in the future. The author, William Pannapacker, better known as Thomas H. Benton’s main argument in his essay is that students identify with the seven deadly sins unconsciously and he divides these behaviors in each sin category.

People will often tell you that they want to be rich or famous when they grow older, how will that be possible without the proper education and schooling? Many people dream of being an entrepreneur or a lawyer and they believe that it is possible to be one of those things out of thin air. It’s not. Often times most businesses want to see a degree or a diploma to even consider you for a job. However, there are many advantages of attending college. The advantages of attending college is never ending but can include incessant opportunities.

There are many factors that I can improve on in the future for the next observations. First of all the organization of the data along with the time measurement are improvements that can be made. Instead of measuring five minutes I would measure every 15 minutes, making it four rounds in one hour. Within that hour we can also use a timer so that we don’t lose track of time. Also the time that we had to measure was on a Monday and Wednesday, for the next observation I would add in a Tuesday or Thursday. Since the observation was done on a campus we didn’t get different age ranges besides the college age. By measuring data at a Chic-Fil-A in the public we would get a wider range of ages, genders, and race. The diversity level was also low so in

Today, young people live in an environment in which many judge beauty on a superficial level, overspending budget margins for college or the student cannot afford to go to college at that year. Others such as social influences of the classroom, outside of the classroom, parents and teachers can have a profound effect on the college student too. These influences often meet with the students at multiple points in their lives. It depends on the student if they ignore, embrace or follow these influences that comes to pass. Is it expected to do as the others do? The real question is if all of these specific influences and individuals alter our lives for better or worse.

In the article Our Crazy College Crossroads, Frank Bruni, addresses the topic of rejection involving students who are applying to colleges by using pathos to connect to his readers on the topic. The author appeals to his readers by uprooting the idea of rejection and worth that are commonly felt by students who are rejected from their top school. He does this through the use of metaphor, rhetorical questions and aggressive statements. Bruni attacks many opposing views such as of Malcolm Gladwell by criticizing the science behind his an argument. Bruni also points out the difference between those who get in to Ivy League colleges and those who don’t. He does this by presenting the means that some individuals lack such as financial support,

It’s been 1000 years since the College plague epidemic (2016-2017) killed the entire population of the United States. The deadly virus started as a common cold. It was usual for many college students to get sick during the first week of school because of the close contact students had with one another. Unfortunately, this common cold had undergone a mutation that spread rapidly across the United States. Colleges and universities were promptly shut down and the race for the cure began, but it was too late. The United States remain uninhabitable because of the fear that the virus was still active. Recently, with the help of drone technology, scientist have deemed the United States once again inhabitable. Many of the pictures that were taken by

This to me can be summed up in one word: sad. It’s truly saddening to me that we’ve become this way. Where everything is taken to the most extreme levels and assumed to be hate speech or that it of course must be meant in the worst possible way. There are of course times where people do take things too far and mean them in the worst of ways. Although, that is not what this is about. This is about the destruction of free speech to the extent of teaching people to might as well not have “free thinking.” We might as well go around apologizing to one another for the things we thought or even almost thought. Not to mention if we almost, or almost though about, them being said? Wouldn’t that be

“American are obsessed with college”, states Linda Lee in her Article “Who needs College”. I would strongly disagree with that statement and the article in general. Americans are not obsessed with college, their obsessed with success. To begin while reading through the article I was confused on who her audience even was. It seemed more of a journal entry to me, as though she was trying to reassure herself that her own son’s failure is okay because he did not graduate college. Lee seemed to bash going to college in a whole, while stating “he went because his friends were going…. He could drink beer and hangout”, but from my own personal sense that is complete outrageous. She did not consider students who actually go to college to get a degree;

Some may wonder what are the struggles that a typical college student has to go through. In this interview, Maritza Marin explains the struggles she has to go through in her everyday life. She is currently attending Riverside Community College trying to become a nurse so she can help people after she graduates.

As a college professor, Edmunson is a firsthand witness of the culture shift occurring on college campuses, where the modern day pioneers of the technological era strive to achieve greatness. The urge to experience life to the fullest drives young adults to new heights of multitasking in order to experience life to the utmost possibility. As a result, Edmunson notices his students stretching themselves six different ways at once, the thought of dedicating their full attention to one specific task proving to be boarder line foreign.

With tuition costs skyrocketing and job opportunities declining for many graduates around the nation, it leaves many to question the supposed benefits of earning a college degree. In high school, students are geared towards the idea a college education will unlock various opportunities for those with a degree compared to those individuals without one. Although receiving a higher education may be extremely costly, it remains important to not underestimate its true value. There are a number of factors that make earning a college education crucial in today’s society. These include the knowledge you gain by earning a degree, and extensive opportunities made available after graduation. These two factors, along with the financial security and

Edward Peselman writes about social structure, social status, and social power in the essay "The Coming Apart of a Dorm Society." The essay begins with the commencement of freshman year at college, when the narrator moves into his dormitory along with five other young men from different walks of life. Not only are the six freshmen from different backgrounds, but they also demonstrate unique personalities. Dozer and Reggie are the narrator's two roommates. Eric, Mark, and Benjamin lived across the hall. Because they occupy the same geographic space, the six men develop a sort of pecking order. They create an artificial power structure in which some of the men, namely Erik and Mark, attempt to dominate the others. Ultimately, Benjamin buckles under the pressure and leaves the dorm: an act that the narrator lauds as being righteously subversive.
