Learn to Love It - College conferece focuses on Relationships

Ever been told that you need to learn a thing or two about relationships? Usually you hear this from someone you're dating (or was dating!) right as they're about to kick you to the curb! However, your prayers (or the prayers of your significant other) have been answered: a class for relationships has been offered.

In November of 2009, over 200 students from 50 colleges and universities converged on Princeton campus to attend the second annual conference "Sexuality, Integrity and the University." The conference focused on the mentalities of sex and relationships on college campuses today. The conference's purpose was education of the students in attendance towards sex and relationships and how students can "uphold ...in our very sex pressured society."

Students from universities including Harvard, University of Virginia and Princeton gathered to discuss beliefs in sex, relationship practices, pressure on campuses towards negative sexual views and self-happiness and esteem.

Hopefully, universities will adopt this idea and start teaching more incoming freshmen about relationships as well as graduating seniors. Too many educations are side-tracked because of broken hearts and wounded loves. In addition, how many of us could use a little love tutoring? Most would (and should!) stay after school for that.

A Long way from 21 Jump Street...

Well ladies, wait no longer. Fellas, keep your ladies away from the magazine rack. People magazine has voted actor Johnny Depp as the Sexiest Man of 2009. Those of us who remember the 80's will remember when this guy wasn't the smooth and swaggering pirate or the hat-wearing, French-living thespian. We remember when he was the baby-faced detective undercover in high schools in 21 Jump Street.

I even remember when Freddy Krueger took Depp as one of his first victims in the original Nightmare on Elm Street!

So what makes this guy so sexy?

He isn't buff and cut. He isn't tall or charming. However, having been around women who love Depp (and I think that includes my wife), it's his laid back way. He carries himself like he really just don't give too much of a damn about anything. He's not the guy that would chase a girl, carry her books, text her to ask her out. He's the kind that would just say "We're going out" and if the girl was cool with it, cool. If not? He didn't give a second thought. This is also the way of the bad boy that dated your girl in high school or college. Maybe we could learn a thing or two from Gilbert Grape.

Congrats Johnny
