By staying on the campus side of Interstate 35, many students like myself are robbing themselves of unique experiences for discovery and connection.
Stop being the Grinch of the 254. Recognize that it’s not the city’s job to give you jaw-dropping entertainment at every hour and that it’s your job to seek out activities. In the quiet moments in between, appreciate the calm pace of life. There will probably be a day when that is all you wish for.
Having sex is OK and completely natural, and waiting to have sex until marriage is OK as well. However, it’s important for everyone to understand that skipping from the dating stage to marriage just to have sex is setting them up for failure.

Go to a lecture, take joy in the fact that you won’t be tested over the content, relax and listen to experts generously share their knowledge and passion to you.
