To be honest, when I came to college I was the slutty freshman who just joined a “good” sorority and I thought it was great that all of the older frat guys wanted me. Only I was quick to figure out that having sex with these guys was not nearly as pleasurable as it was with my high school boyfriend who at the time I really cared for and even that was not as good as my current boyfriend, we have been together for two years.

Sure I have had orgasms with the boys I slept with my freshman year, but it was not all the time and I definitely never had one the first time I slept with anyone. It takes time to figure out what each individual girl wants. Every guy thinks the way they have sex is perfect and that it is good that way for every girl, but that is just not the case every girl is different and the first time you sleep with someone the chances of them getting it right as what you want are slim to none.

I honestly think the reason I was not able to have an orgasm when I slept with a guy for the first time or during a one-night stand is because I was simply not comfortable with that person. I did not necessarily feel like this until my boyfriend now, but sex is meaningful and special and as cheesy as this sounds it is an expression of your love for the other person and when you are comfortable and able to let yourself go it is almost always going to be with your partner or someone you love or care for.

As slutty as this sounds, one night stands are definitely a good time and I used to laugh at my friends who said sex was better when it was with someone you actually cared for and thought that they were just being sappy because they were “in love” with who they were dating at the time. But I think as we get older it really becomes about who can treat you right and make you feel the most pleasure and that is someone who you can give pointers to and say I like it like this or I like it like that and with someone you are just hooking up with once, you are not really going to do that or care what they think because it is just a one time thing.

If anyone actually reads this I am sure you are going to think I am just another slutty sorority girl or “soror-stitute” as you those “gentlemen” fraternity men have the affinity of calling us, but has just been my college experience.

To set the record straight; one time hookups are fun, but with someone you actually care about is so much better. Try it.

There is a stigma with interracial dating that we are starting to shy away from, but I think it is still that it is taboo. In most cases it stems from the older generation like the grandparents that do not want their grandchildren to “tarnish” the family history.

For example, my roommates brother is white and from New Jersey yet he only dates minority women, regardless of what his parents think. In terms of white men only approaching minority women when they are drunk is because they are a little afraid to do so otherwise and it is just easier to do under the influence of alcohol.

I think we will start to see this trend change as we move into younger generations as the races are tending to mix anyway. If this question is directed in a Penn State sense, this campus is mainly white and it is easier for people just to approach the white women because that is what they are used to.

If you have ever heard the phrase that when you are drunk you release all of your inhibitions that you wouldn’t normally do when you are sober, so I think that it is easier for men to approach people because they do not think they are being judged and if they are judged then they can just blame it on being intoxicated and not have to live with the consequences.

Also when you are drunk it is more likely that you will not be rejected and I think that white males think that they will be rejected by minority women because as it is in the white society it can also be seen as taboo and a reason to judge someone depending what ethnicity the woman they are pursuing is.

I think in the African American culture there is more of a stigma of a white man dating a black woman because it is seen as the African American woman is trying to break away from the African American group and trying to be “better” than she is. It is more common to see a white woman with an African American man than it would be to see it the other way around. I think that it is less common to see Asian americans end up with white men or women because that culture is more oriented on history as opposed to the African American or latino culute. It is more shameful in the Asian American culture to date or marry outside your racial group, they are more reliant on the family name and the heritage and I think it is more looked down upon in the Asian American society and it is mostly that people do not want to be judged or looked at as different.

Nepotism is by far more socially acceptable than affirmative action. Nepotism is taught to us and has been practiced throughout history. I know growing up my sister was one of my first friends and I was always taught to stand up for her no matter what because she is my sister and she is family. Kin was always something that has been taught throughout time and as the saying goes, “blood is thicker than water.”

That being said, there is still some sort of negative connotation associated with nepotism. For example, if someone in your family owns a business or some sort of company and there is another family member is an employee of the company most people assume that the family member only got there because they are part of the family and do not take them as seriously.

On the other hand, nepotism is more socially accepted because there are plenty of companies built upon family ties, if you look at the Pennsylvania Sheetz company that is all a family run operation and people prefer to keep things within the family because of trust. Also this just came to me as I was watching Kourtney and Kim take Miami, but if you look at the Kardashian franchise and the Kardashian brand when you get that much fame it is hard to trust the public because you never know if they have bad intentions of trying to get close to them, so in that case I can see the purpose of hiring within.

Also when it comes to family members and blood relatives people often feel responsible for the well being and financial stability of the other family members, so they are often more willing to help them.

Although there are some ways to justify nepotism, though it may tarnish someones credibility, I think affirmative action is worse. Looking around Penn State for example, it is often assumed that any minority was accepted there because of affirmative action because the university had to meet a quota. Affirmative action should be more socially acceptable because it gives the opportunities to minorities and other people who are underrepresented in the workforce, though they may be more creditable than other applicants. Looking at that from a nepotism perspective people often hire their family members for positions that other people may be more suitable for the job, but because they are not family they virtually have no chance of getting it.

I used to be opposed to affirmative action because I thought that it hurt the white population, but the minorities need to be represented and in history minorities would not have gotten the opportunity to flourish if it was not forced upon business owners. I wish that it did not have to come to such extreme measures, but at least it incited change.

In society today there are countless things that are “taboo,” anything from bodily functions, to sex, to who we fall in love with. For me personally I do not like talking about bodily functions, it actually grosses me out to think about writing this right now. Whether it be farting or going to the bathroom, I just cannot take talking about it or thinking about it and I know that it is not just me. I think that this is a taboo subject in our society because it is something that we do in private and typically Americans are very private people and the things we do behind closed door we usually intend for them to stay there. I don’t know whether I am embarrassed or I would rather just not think about those kind of bathroom activities, but everybody does it and I really should not be disgusted by it. In China young elementary school aged kids poop in the street and it is perfectly fine. America is a more prude nation than it leads to believe and as I said before we like to keep our private activities private and would rather not discuss them. Sam brought that out when he was talking about would and their menstruation cycles in class and many of the girls in class were too embarrassed to answer or thought that it would be unattractive to the opposite sex.

Sex is also taboo to talk about in older generations, but younger people are starting to talk about it more and more. My mother never really had a conversation with me about sex or losing my virginity, but I always knew that it was something that I should wait until I was ready to do. It was never really something we talked about in my house, but it is something that some of my friends and their parents discussed regularly. I know that I do not feel bad about talking to my friends about the subject, but I do feel uncomfortable talking to my parents about it. I think that is because there was never those lines of communications in their day and it was never talked about with their parents or grandparents and that time period. Nowadays we have we have television shows that promote sex and female sexuality and they are often the most watched shows because it is a subject that many people do not feel comfortable talking about. For example, the show “Sex and the City” had two or maybe even three spinoff movies and now there is a prequel show. I remember I began watching that show when I started high school and it made me realize that sex is not as much of a taboo subject as I was lead to believe.

Black people used to be ashamed to admitting to having relations with a white person because of the stigma attached to the white people that they were horrible racists and all around terrible to the African American community. But as times began to change white and lighter skin has been associated with power and supremacy, not just in the Africa American community but in races throughout the world.

Still generally people stick to marriage within their own racial group, although interracial dating has become more accepted and less taboo. But going back to the color on the skin spectrum as times moved closer to the civil rights movement, blacks that had lighter skin were often considered superior to the other blacks with darker skin and again I think that is associated with white power and white dominance. I am not sure if we will ever move away from that stigma.

It has been a stereotype as the media has portrayed it that darker skin people are often seen in the “ghettos” or urban areas and are generally associated with crime, and I think the African American community is trying to move away from that idea that blacks cause more crime and by doing that they are moving away from the dark skin as well.

When you look at black celebrities it is almost always the lighter skin people that are more popular, but when you look at athletes it does not matter at all the color of your skin or the tone. Sometimes even some Hispanics are darker than the actual African Americas. I think the black community today still feels like there is more opportunity for white people and they are trying to move away from being associated with the “angry black” and if you can appear less black maybe they wont be judged as harshly or seen in a better light by their peers.

When the girl stood up in class and said that her parents would be more accepting if the brought home a lighter skin man I think they are basing it on the old ideals that if you are white you will have more opportunities, so naturally they want their daughter to appear more light or to have lighter skin.

I do however think the issue will be less common as times change and people are becoming more accepting of other races and cultures and as sam said soon we are all going to look the same anyway since we are all a melting pot. Personally I have no problem with the lighter or darker culture and I think that it is all the same and that everyone is equal in all rights at all times.

Finding out God does not exist would honestly completely alter my life; it would change my perspective on how I have lived my entire life. I would not know what to think I would have to redefine myself.

Every family dinner that started again I would question who we were praying to and what exactly was going on there. I have grown up in a house where it was church every Sunday and you prayed for forgiveness of your sins. I am not saying this is right and I am not saying that I believe that everything about God is real, but it has been something I have grown up with and I would not know how to be myself with out.

First of all I would question what happened after someone dies, to me there is no way your soul does not life on and there is no heaven, there has to be. There has to be a higher power of some sort, how can humans have all of this free will with no one to guide them. Without anyone to guide them there would be no good in the world. How do we feel bad if there is no God? Who do we feel bad to? Why do we have a “soul” if it is not praying to someone?

I would wonder who could pull such a prank and think that they could get away with making up a story like this and how they got everyone to believe in it. Also it would change the world in general, why would anyone believe in the pope anymore? They have no power. Why do we care about the “holy lands?” they mean nothing. All of the war, all of the sins, all of the people praying means nothing. There is no God, there is nothing.

The world would mean nothing. What have I been believing in the whole time? Who told me this lie and how could I be so stupid to fall for it?

But most of all who do i live for? i cannot just live for myself, there has to be something more it is impossible that there is not. I would question who I am inside because I live for God, he is the person I turn to when there is nothing else. Miracles just do not happen there has to be some higher power. I know I could just not make these things happen on my own it would not be possible. Who is this little voice inside my head, who gives me the strength to carry on when I feel that I cannot go anymore. If I feel like I cannot do anymore, there has to be someone else pushing me through and that someone else is God.
