One night stands. Many college
students have had one, thanks to
hormones and Tinder. Most likely
it will not be the last one you have
in your life. Spring break is the big
gest party week of the year. You
may have had a one night stand (or
multiple, no judgments) during that
time. The morning after is so awk
ward, what do you do? Have break
fast together. Or just sneak away
without so much as a thank you?
Finding students to talk about
this was a little difficult as it can be a
taboo topic, but I found a few brave
ones who were willing to speak on
the subject.

; Visilla McDaniel had a lot to offer
on the subject. “A one night stand to
me depends on your state of mind,
like if you’re sober or not,” McDaniel
said. “From my experience, if you’re
sober, you know exactly what
you’re getting yourself into. A one
{night stand when you’re sober isn’t
something that just all of a sudden
happens, it’s something that you
work up to. You had that connection
before the event happened. In that
case the sex is awesome.”
I asked Brittany Yount whether
or not she would stay the night and
enjoy a pot of coffee with her signif
icant other-for-the-moment or bail
as soon as the deed was done.
“If I ever had one, I would leave
that night because I like to sleep in
my own bed,” Yount said.
One night stands have become
such a cultural norm that you can
now buy pre-made ‘One Night
Stand Kits’ filled with all the essen
tials you need for your midnight
rendezvous. Most of these kits are
geared towards women, with emer
gency eye liner, cute underwear,
toothbrush, dry shampoo, deodor
ant, a tiny brush to fix that sex hair
afterwards and condoms of course.
Better safe than pregnant!
Everyone’s one night stand
is different, depending on the
circumstances.
“The last one night stand I had
was with someone I knew and I
bailed the next morning and haven’t
spoken to them since,” said Melissa
Hagerty. “I felt fine because I knew
it would happen, and I knew what it
was.”
Whether it’s someone you know,
or someone you just met, always
make sure you’re safe. Have a bud
dy system, never accept a drink
unless you see the bartender pour
it and never leave your drink unat
tended. Make sure you’re comfort
able and both partners are consent
ing and able to consent. Remember,
you can’t sneak away from STDs
in the morning, so use a condom
everyone!
