The semester is thriving. Midterms are almost here. Most people have made new friends, and possibly have even began a new relationship. Well, good for you. Really we are all proud of you for meeting your new eye candy, but please keep your body parts to yourself. Since I have seen a lot of couples having this problem here recently, I thought I would let y'all know 5 places to not show PDA (public display of affection in case you aren't with the times) around campus.
1. At the bus stop.
It is probably early, most of our are still drinking coffee... The last thing we want to see is you all over your new lover. Like I can barely comprehend making it to class and sitting there through it, I really do not need my eyes to be blistered by your affection to one another.
2. (Arguably is the most important) is the bus.
We are all crowded in there. I do not want to see your hands somewhere they should not be or your tongues down each other's throats. Just like all arms and legs must stay inside the bus, all tongues must stay inside your own mouth. That is WAY too much to handle before like 11pm anyways.
3. Around campus.
Even if you are off to the side, I am focused to get to class. I don't want to see you canoodling and being all lovey dovey. It honestly may bring my Nutrigrain bar back up. That definitely would not be pretty and I'm pretty sure that would ruin your so called "romantic" moment.
4. The library.
The library is there to study. Study. That is why we are all in school, isn't it? To pass? To graduate? You must study, or at least normal human beings need to. The library is a resource to use to get out of your own house and concentrate on your school work. If you want to concentrate on your boo thing, go home. Please. We are all begging you.
5. Right outside of your classroom.
I hate to say this, but professors are nosey. They'll watch you kiss and be awkward, and then they'll hardcore silently judge you. While it is not their place to base their judgements of you upon that, it does make you look unprofessional. Professors are resources to use for recommendation letters and anything else you may possibly need in the academic world. Don't let their mind be focused on your dirty deeds in the hallway, but instead on your great charisma and intelligence shown in their class.
Pretty much all I am saying is please PDA on your own time. Sure, do a sweet simple kiss and go as you part ways for class. I get that. But this long, lingering, and just unsanitary kiss needs to be saved for another time. Like literally, get a room. Please. We're all begging you to make the madness stop. Be kind to the people's eyes around you.
This article is dedicated to the couple I saw on the bus. You're welcome.
