Never ceasing to be amazed.
Rabbit-like Behavior Rampages
It was amazing that it isn’t even a month in the world of higher education and I’ve seen it already. It’s happening so quickly, like reproduction and rabbits. You look here, there’s a new bunny, over there, another bunny nibbling on some fresh green grass. No matter where you go, you see this new form and then wonder if you’re in a weird college movie like American Pie or the season of winter has been completely skipped and spring has sprung. It’s evident that there are many forms and variations of it on campus. And it’s couples.
The new phenomenon of “hooking up” was already in process two days after the arrival of all the students on campus. At our first fire drill at 3AM, Manna and I stood outside in the cold, tired, grumpy, and in a whole new world that had gone from education and learning to alarms and confusion. As we stood mindlessly, we both noticed two sets of couples warming each other in a loving, bear-like fashion that was probably unnecessary. And worst of all, we stood there wanted to be held by our own boyfriends. I guess you could say it was envy.
So then more and more I continue to see couples walking to class together and googling over each other like birds in April. It’s even to the point where I overhear things in my classes about so and so who is flirting with this girl but has a girlfriend at home but is interested in this other girl too. Love really does add excitement on campus. No wonder people make movies about campus life.
Sometimes it was just scary in high school when the seniors noticed how strange and disgusting the freshman and sophomores could be in the halls. Sure, you may have your cute little crush, but can the butt grabbing and lip smacking wait until you’re at home? They were quite affectionate with each other publicly. A little too affectionate for many people’s tastes, including my own. Not only scarred the Seniors, but I can only imagine the damage on the young 7th graders.
The new couple business definably making things very interesting in Edinboro. It seems that a few college students have picked up on the idea of dating lots of girls and having a good time; just like the movies and stereotypes. But as for Manna and I, home is where the honey is.
