Relationships are significant bonds that happen in life, and they are also commonly seen in the college setting. In this day and age, society seems to be certain that youth have more hookups than they did in previous years, but I believe that is not the case.
For starters, the only thing that I see happening are students trying to be social rather than sexual. People are more concerned with having new buddies rather than a boyfriend or girlfriend. As I walk around campus, I see groups of individuals trying to find activities outside of the dorm rooms such as getting together a team for intramural sports. Trust me when I say that having a good time does not include hooking up; it is all about getting involved in huge social settings such as clubs or organizations.
There are a few students who do have a special someone, but they may still be trying to get to know each other better before they take that next step into a sexual relationship. Just like students who do not have a significant other, those that do are always looking for cool date ideas that do not involve an after-date tryst. For example, a friend of mine has been with her sweetheart for years, and she has yet to become intimate with him. On the other hand, I have another friend who has been with her partner for a few years and they hook up. However, they do not hook up frequently; it only happens on special occasions.
After all of the weeks that I have been on campus, I have yet to see or hear about anyone hooking up frequently. We are all just trying to figure out who we are and what works for us. We barely have time to cram everything we need to into the day, so why does society think we copulate like crazy?
