Can Guys And Girls Just Be Friends?

Does sex get in the way of friendship?

Can Guys And Girls Just Be Friends?

Harry from "When Harry Met Sally" explains it best: "What I'm saying is—and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form—is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way."

The age old question, asked and questioned by truly everyone. I 100 percent agree with his words—sex is always going to get in the way with the friendship whether it's on one person's part or the other. It is really hard for guys and girls to just be friends. Being a college student, our hormones are high as hell and the hookup culture is such a big thing, and everyone is a part of it. We are always searching for that next hookup and look to our friends as potential boyfriends/girlfriend, hookups or friends with benefits.

As an example, I try to become friends with guys, but one of us always wants more and something either happens or nothing happens at all and the friendship never last. Or I have even tried to get with a guy and it does not work out, so we become friends. Think about what's the longest you have been friends with someone of the opposite sex and no feelings got in the way.

While it's possible that you have friends that you are not attracted to at all, but you do not know what they are thinking and perhaps they really could want you and you do not know. A lot of people think it's just the guys who are always the sex-crazed ones wanting the girls, but that is not true. Girls want guys just as much. So I ask you, do you think guys and girls can be friends?

Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.
