PDA or Privacy?

If you want your relationship to be private, then don't engage in PDA.

PDA or Privacy?
Diginomica.com

Yippee-ki-yay Mother F*****, is the phrase that pops up in the subtitles on my television screen. I watch and listen in total amusement as Bruce Willis casually says this phrase as he does some badass thing on screen once again. What better way to kick off Christmas Break then by watching a Christmas classic, that is Die Hard.

A group of us all gather in the living room to take part in this phenomenon.

However, it seems like I am the only one engrossed in the movie. Everyone else seems to be focused on something else. My friend seems to be fully engaged with my brother’s friend in a game of Would You Rather. They continue to entertain one another as they ask what famous person they would rather screw.

Then there is my brother who seems more fixated on his girlfriend then watching the movie. And it was his idea to watch one of his favorite movies. But with his girlfriend seeming glued to him at the hip, on the living room couch, this movie was the last thing on his mind.

I continue to watch this movie that now seems to only have my attention.

A few minutes go by, and my interest in the movie begins to fade. I turn to take a quick glance at my brother and his girlfriend.

I begin to see the two canoodling on the couch. Her back is completely turned to the television, and they are laying face to face.

Now I'm not one to stare at public display of affection, but it can truly trigger anyone's interest.

They begin to cuddle each other and whisper words to each other. He begins to caress her face and she begins to pet his head like a dog.

So now my interest has gone from curious to absolutely disgusted. I have nothing against relationships, but it was pretty weird seeing my little brother exhibit PDA with his girlfriend.

So of course now I am annoyed. Here we are trying to enjoy this movie that he picked out, and he is busy flirting with his girlfriend.

So I open my big mouth and say something along the lines of why are you guys cuddling and are you gonna take a break to watch the movie.

At this moment, I knew that I royally screwed up.

He sits up and just stares at me. I can't recall exactly what he said. It had something to do with minding my own business and included a few obscenities directed towards me.

I could tell I embarrassed him. I later found out that he was upset because he felt this was an invasion of his privacy.

He continues to tell me this from time to time when he catches me staring at them, or make a comment. Of course, my response is that he is doing it in front of me, so he shouldn't get mad.

He usually gets angry and the obscenities once again get thrown at me.

The moral of the story seems to be to keep your mouth shut when experiencing PDA.

But no.

To me, the moral of the story is if you don't want people to meddle in your pda, then don't exhibit PDA. Especially in front of your older sister. That's common sense. What do you think is gonna happen? They will just mind their own business and stay quiet. You're smarter than that dude. You know me better than that.

So was it just PDA or did I invade his privacy?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
