How the Dating Game Changes in College

When you were it high school it was about kissing behind the bleachers at the football field, or holding hands in front of your friends, eating lunch together, and hanging out after school. When you go to college the whole world of dating seems to spin and turn upside down.  When you are home your parents tell you who you can see, where you can go,  and what time to be back.  The minute that your parents leave you at college you are on your own. All of a sudden you have the right to do whatever you want, whether it's dating the guy down the hall or going to the movies on a Tuesday night.

The first few days in college, of course we spent bonding with my roommate. We quickly became the best of friends like we had known each other our whole lives.  Before you knew it we were talking about guys, which one was cute, which one had this or that. We had a lot of laughs over how boyish some of the guys looked.  Some of these guys looked like they just walked out of ninth grade into college.  But then there were the upper class men.  Those were the guys all the girls wanted.

Well of course the first weekend of college there was a residential mixer and everyone was going to be there. My roommate and I must of spent hours getting ready.  We played music and danced around in our room. By ten o' clock our room was packed with 10 girls and we were all talking, while trying to get a look in the mirror, about who we were going to dance with. Just like old times in high school,  but when we finally got to the social it wasn't like old times.
