Opinion: PDA

So here is another lovely opinion I posses. We all know what it is. Most of us, sane ones, don't enjoy watching it.I am talking about Public Displays of Affection.

You want to hold hands, fine. You want to steal a small peck, fine. You want to grope eachother in isle 7, NOT FINE!. Come on, there is no need for everyone to know what you are feeling below the belt. We get it! You want some action, well grab that KY and wait till you get home. I promise you will live!

The other day I was on the bus, minding my own business. Some couple, probably mid-twenties, sits across from me. They are just sitting and talking. Ten minutes later they are have a make-out session right before my very eyes. I glance at the small child sitting my left and wonder what he is thinking-can't be any better than what I am. Have they no courtesy?

PDA is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. Sometimes when I meet new people I feel like saying "Hey, my name is Daniella, I don't like PDA" just so they get it.

If you agree with me, then thank you. If not, well there is not much I can do other then tell you other then close your eyes and picture two people vigorously groping each other while you are trying to eat your tuna sandwich. Now try to keep that down.

I have one thing left to say. Get a room!!

Opinion: Silly Bandz

Let's talk about these Silly Bandz. They are a sensation that is sweeping the nation. Filling the arms of children everywhere.
But wait! It is not just children who are choosing to dawn these rubber bracelets(?), the older crowd is eating them up as well.
No matter where I turn, the playground, Starbucks, nightclubs, the rubber discombobulated shapes in florescent colors are gleaming at me from the wrists of unknowing victims of a trend.
A trend, may I add, that is not cheap. Each pack averages at $4.99. For what? So you can take the rubber pieces off your hand and BOOM! A puppy shape is in your hand?
Most people do not even take them off, so what is the point really?
Why is it that arms everywhere are being overpopulated by these Silly Bandz.
I am jealous. I wish I was smart enough to come up with such an idea and rip people off of all ages.
( I guess I will get the next one)
Here is what I know; I am not jumping on the Silly Bandz bandwagon until they come in phallic symbols.

College Rules

There is a serious problem facing America today. Raging hormones. Entering college was like being dipped into a pool of sexual activity. I barely remember half of what I learned my first year of college but I can recall every single sexual experience my roommates and floor-mates had with each other. Sad!

I don't know if it's the college air or what, but these guys and gals seem to love spreading [literally] themselves all over. I am not suggesting celbecay. Or anything closely related- at all!!! However, if you catch mono and 20 other people think that they have it too, something is wrong.

There needs to be a set of rules. Like don't hook-up with your roommates one night stand. I thought that rule was pretty obvious, but I have been proven wrong. In addition, don't start having a casual relationship with the guy you and your roommate had a three-some with. Where is your class? Boys, back down! Your female floor-mates will walk around in whatever pleases them. Keep your comments and eye-gropes to your self. You are allowed to think to yourself "Damn She is hot!" but that is it!!! Quick glance over and move on. No lingering boys!! Control yourselves!

A big part of college is partying-duh! You are out one night and spot a hottie across the room. You know that a one-night-stand is inevitable. You know it is going to happen, but before you jump his or her bones, work out the sexileing arrangements. Here is a code. Girls: Try not to sexile your roommates. It is more awkward for a girl to be in the room while you and your nameless hunk are getting it on. It is less awkward, however, for boys. So go back to his room. If you do not trust going back to his room- Spoiler alert: You shouldn't screw him. If all of this is not making any sense to you then read it again!

There are rules my friends. In a time of short skirts, skinny jeans and college towns there needs to be some kind of code to keep your hormones in check. There are things that need to be thought about before you decide to get biblical with one of your peers. Not to mention, there are certain people that you should not be getting biblical with- period!! Also, be courteous. You do not live in a room by yourself. There is no reason that your roommate needs to walk into a giant orgy. Spare them please! Also, there really is no excuse for every girl you know to have hooked-up with the same guy. It's just wrong! So here we are, follow the rules and learn some self control. Because if disease strikes, some of you might run into a problem.

So be safe, be smart, be controlled, and most importantly be graceful!

Opinion: Wearing Pajamas Outside

I am back with another one.

People, pajamas are meant to sleep in. Sure I would love it if I could just lounge around in my pajamas all day, but I cannot. Clothes were invented for a reason!

I hated walking down the streets of New York City and amidst all the fabulously clad people there are some with their plaid flannel pants strolling. Come on! I get they are comfortable but the truth is, your pajamas are hurting my eyes!

Clothes are so much fun! You get to express yourself and dress up to feel like a million bucks. With all the options out there why settle for your purple pants with the little princesses on them?

I am pleading with you to try getting dressed. No pajamas in the mall, in the grocery store, in the city streets. If my logic of dressing up being fun doesn't work for you, then think about how great it will feel to take off your clothes and slip into those comfy pajamas when you get home. The feeling will be so much more gratifying then if you have been wearing them all day. Now that is logic that you cannot argue with.

I don't want to see your PJ's.

Thank you in advance.

Opinion: People Who Stop While Walking

Picture this: You are hurrying down a city street itching to get to class and all of a sudden some people ( you may picture their physical attributes in your head) just stop right in front of you! BAM!! They aren't moving and it is a city street, so getting around them is no easy task.

You wait for your opening and side-step them only to have the same think happen yet again. Not okay!!! This is a pet peeve of mine. You heard about PDA and now this. I just don't like it. Not everyone has time to mosey around. If you are a tourist and want to take in the sites then step to the side and let the residents pass. It is not that hard!!

Forget about city streets what about in buildings when you are trying to get to your meeting on time. Supermarkets, okay so you can't decided between the pitted olives or the whole ones, well move closer to them and clear space in the isle. Come on people!

The only time you are allowed to stop while people are walking behind you is if you are in the park and your dog needs to, ya know. Or if a giant blimp that reads "The End of the World is Near" floats overhead, then...permission to stop granted.

Otherwise move your fannies! Be respectful to the people who have places to go and people to see. Move to the side or pick up the pace ! It is not rocket science it is common courtesy!
