Becoming a better photographer: b&w composition

Finn Baroidan

Color in photography can elevate it from mediocre to professional. It can draw in viewers, set a tone of a photo, accentuate the form of a subject, and display the skill of a photographer. We see the world in color. Color photography and film, upon their inception, were heralded as vast improvements, and "black and white" can connote a limited, prejudiced worldview.

Ah, hookup culture. With the popularity of apps like Tinder, it's no surprise that being in a traditional, serious relationship is looked down on a bit in college. Instead, everyone just takes to hooking up with one another. This is more of the norm than I ever would've realized.

I came into college with literally zero knowledge of hookup culture and how to go about it. Now that I'm about to be a senior in college, however, I've had my fair share of experiences and I know what my friends and I have experienced. Incoming freshmen, take note—take these pieces of advice with you in the back of your mind and you'll be good to go.

The thought process of those of us who have allowed themselves to no longer taste life.

Just because I may not be rail thin, does not mean I'm not struggling.

The topic of food makes me uncomfortable.

It can provide a sense of control in life.

Calling me out in public is not appreciated and will likely make it worse.

Even though I am "doing better", I can still be dealing with the aftermath.

Your attempt in talking me out of it is not working.

I will deny your accusations.

I think of this as a goal process. I want to reach my goal.

Deep down, I know this is hurting me.

I don't want to feel the way I do.

It's not all smiles, but a good amount of it actually is.

1. Communication is key

2. Don't play the blaming game

3. You can overcome fights

4. Be understanding

5. Don’t be passive aggressive

6. Don’t let each other go to sleep upset

7. Breaks can be healthy when needed but don’t turn to it every time it gets hard

8. Talk about everything and anything

9. Don’t forget to show how much you appreciate them and that you love them

10. RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOT EASY

Studying nutrition has shown me that diet culture affects us all on a daily basis, in ways you probably never noticed.

1. You forget that every diet is really a sales pitch.

2. You believe that going on a diet is self-care.

3. You think carbs are bad.

4. You label yourself as being good or being bad based on what you eat.

5. You change what you eat when something is bothering you.

6. You talk about calories, weight, or perceived consequences while eating.

7. You have an emotional reaction to the scale.

8. You believe tracking your food is better than listening to your body.

9. Your dream life starts at your goal weight.

10. You wish you had a different body.

Believe it or not, not everyone is having sex.

1. Use. A. Condom.

2. No one really cares who you're sleeping with.

3. Believe it or not, not everyone is having sex.

4. Get tested frequently.

5. That upperclassman that hooked up with you probably doesn't want to date you.

6. That being said, be honest with YOUR intentions.

7. Change your damn bed sheets.

8. Hooking up with someone who is drunk is sexual assault.

9. Everyone is nervous.

10. Going from hookup to hookup will not make you more confident.

11. Friends with benefits is, and always will be, the messiest thing you can get yourself involved in.

12. Just because someone wants to have sex with YOU doesn't mean you have to have sex with THEM.

13. There is NOTHING wrong with preferring a relationship with feelings and all that.

14. Your dorm walls are thin.

15. Your number literally does not matter.
