News In Brief
21st Century Sex
It is nearly the beginning of the 21st century and I am finally coming into the computer age. Many years ago my son said "Mom isn't it time you got with it or you will be left behind". Well I have taken the big step and entered the world of computers. It is almost as good as sex!
The First Year Of College
They say the first year of college is the hardest. I have led a pretty sheltered life only going away for camp alone when I was much younger. I was not prepared for the routine of college life. Dorm living is far from what I thought it would be. My roommate turned out to be a "total slob". The topper came one evening as I came home from a late night at the computer lab to find my roommate was not alone. Embarrassed I quickly closed the door and left to stay at a friend's dorm room.
I have been heavily struck with class work since coming to school. Studies, papers to complete, and exams have been like an avalanche crashing down on me. I can barely strain to keep from sinking into an abyss and there is my roommate having a grand old time. I have made lots of new friends both female and male but it has been very casual. Usually, we go to a party as a group, or to dinner or just to someone's apartment for a drink or two. It would be nice to meet someone to build a relationship with and share my feelings. I have been missing the nice safe nurturing that I received at home. So far nothing has developed.
Sitting in the computer lab one evening, a friend and I were talking about where all the good dates have gotten too. The next thing I knew I was checking out a new site I had never seen before on the web. It was Collegedates.com. At first I laughed but soon curiosity took over and I found my self interested. I signed up and soon I started meeting people who really appealed to me.
Well it has been six months since I met that perfect someone. I don't know if this will continue or not but boy do I hope so. We have so much in common. I can't say we are always in sync, yet it has been pretty close. I never thought that a machine could bring such happiness to my
life. All I can say is thank you to the creator of CollegDates.com and I look forward to keeping up with this great site.
