You Asked...
Ngoc, What have you never gotten as a gift, but always wanted? - Jennifer McClure
Kathryn, How do I put together the best Tacky Christmas outt for the seasons many parties? -Molly Sanchez
World Peace? Nahhh. Running a marathon? HA. ats cute. If I were to be completely honest, Id have to say my New Years resolutions would be not to fall in love, fall asleep (rumor has it bouncers dont take too kindly to that) or--you know-just FALL in a bar downtown again. Actually Ive only done two of those before...Ill let you guess which.
Fall happens to take the gold on this one. Id like to state, and I feel like a lot of people agree with me on this one, that everyone looks their best in the Fall. With Autumn comes jackets, boots, and multiple layers that people have been desperately waiting to wear as the malicious Texas summer finally nears its end. I dig the attitude of dress to impress, and it works best in Autumn weather!
Ever since I was old enough to play with toys, I always wanted a Barbie doll. Dont get me wrong I did have dolls to play with but I did not want just any doll, but a Barbie brand doll. Isnt that an essential part of every girls doll collection? Until this day, I have yet to call a Barbie doll my own.
You can easily throw together a great out t with very little cash. Swing by thrift stores for a great selection of holiday sweaters. e older, bulkier, and gaudier, the better. Plus, you can make accessories out of anything. Turn ornaments into jewelry and garland into a belt. Go crazy and have fun!

Around the world party. Everybody gets into groups of 4-5 and each group brings their own culturally significant bucket of drink (American = whiskey and coke). Its a great theme because it involves everyone.

Pull an all-nighter
You probably do homework the same day it is assigned and never need caffeine, no-dos, or redbull. Take a few weeks off just to party it up, let the work build up then spend the entire night before it is due to get it done.

Streak
Get a few friends to shed layers and drop those draws with you and take off across campus in your birthday suits. Feel the wind beneath and above your knees.
Take a trip
Whether its a roadtrip,study abroad or Spring break. It doesnt matter if its with friends or solo just save up, pack up and go. Youll learn something 4 years wont teach you.

Experiment
(sex, drugs, food) This is the best time in life to try new things. Go nd a kinky hookup that is 420 friendly, and after the whips and chain and third chick go get some late night spicy curry.
Have a hangover
(The best nights are the ones forgotten by you but not your camera and text msgs). While youre in school eventually youll turn 21. The best way to celebrate is to drink til you forget and regret it the next day. Have a friend bring a camera so you can r elive it after the headache passes.
Have a ght
(Waterfight, snowball fight, pillow fight) Fighting is illegal unless you add water, snow(which is still technically water) or pillows to it. Ready your arms and come out fighting, and in the youll come out tired, wet and/or sweaty.

words and pictures by kathryn johnson
AU Rhythm is important because its a group of people from all different walks of life at Auburn coming together for the love of dancing. Our team exemplies the greatness of diversity, and in my opinion, we are one of the few organizations on campus that does this. I think people look forward to watching AU Rhythm perform because it is truly entertaining. We bring swag, spirit, fun, excitement whatever you want to call it Amanda Rives, Captain, 21 wherever we perform.

Who is really telling the truth when asked? Why should we all keep track of our number? Study Breaks asked women on campus their numbers and their reasons. Here are the results.
Im very proud of it because I feel like I can respect myself more when Im steadfast about not having sex.
Is there a reason for that number?
When I was 16 in high school. I lost it to my high school sweetheart, and he took my virginity on our one year anniversary. How romantic.
How was it?
abstinence as well.
What number of sexual partners do you think is common for men and women in college?
It was all about me. He was older, and he wasnt a virgin so I let him take control. (for the rst time, that is). He made sure I was okay the whole way through it. I remember thinking, this is what all of my friends are talking about and doing? It wasnt until later we gured out what felt good for the both of us.
What do you think about your number?
Im pretty sure. Its not often that you nd someone with a low number. I think because of society, women, are easily labeled a slut for their number of partners, so they never tell the truth when asked. I think its just a question no one really wants to ask.
What does sex mean to you?
No, I would probably respect them more too, if it is that way by choice.
How do you feel about men asking for your number?
It should be really deep and meaningful and should only be done after marriage to keep the sanctity of it intact.
How long do you wait to sleep with a guy?
Well, if I instantly say, Ive slept with 12 guys... and Im proud! It might be taken in a bad way. But think about it, I started having sex at the age of sixteen, and Im now twenty-one. Average it out, and Im having sex with two or three partners a year.
Have you ever lied about your number?
Sex used to mean love. Now, its a strong connection I have with someone. Whether that connection stemmed from tequila shots or after ve dates... that is the question.
What would your parents say about your number?
When my mom gave me the sex talk she was very realistic about it. She said, When I was your age, I found the love for sex. Although I would want you to wait for marriage, I know that more than likely will not happen. Just be safe, careful, and remember, youre in control. Probably the best advice about sex. anks Mom.
STUDYBREAKS.COM DECEMBER 2011|21 |
e rst time a penis was inserted into my vaginal canal was at a party with someone Id known for two months (ish). We were both virgins. In my gentle and sweet adolescence, I had a misconception that everyone was having sex. erefore I was ashamed of my virginity like it was a capitalized V stamped on my forehead. So I did what any reasonable teen would do: I banged a friend at a party.
What do you think about your number?
sex is generally better, for me, if I nd a freaky friend I can play with consistently so both people can take the time to nd out what the other person likes.
Have you lied about it?
Yes. Duh, we all do, dont we? But these days I embrace it.
What does sex mean to you?
I love it and am frankly quite confused why people put so much emphasis on e Number. If you take care of yourself (use condoms, hello?!) and the sex is consensual, then fuck away. Some people like sex in the context of relationships and some people just wanna bone. Sex does not carry the same meaning for everyone.
What do you think men think about your number?
Sex is a moment when two or more people have the capability of making each other feel so freaking good that they can forget about their midterm next week or the rent that is due tomorrow. It is a chance to play and laugh and try new things. It is a chance to communicate and nd a way to please someone in a way that is unlike anything else.
What would your parents say about your number?
Men and women think of it what they will. When I was a freshman and sophomore, I liked to party. But now as a senior, I have realized that
Well I dont expect them to make me a golden star chart and award me with a golden star for each of my sexcapades. ey know that it is my body and respect that I am a grown woman making my own choices. I have never shouted out my number to them and they have not asked because why do they need to know? ey just want to make sure that I bang safely.
Its my own personal belief, but also a religious belief. I believe in abstinence, and Id rather wait for the right guy instead of giving it away to a few guys.
How would you feel about a man with the same number as you?
I would de nitely view him with more respect, because it is tempting when you love someone, but if a guy has a number of zero it shows me that some men really do just want a fun relationship instead of one based around sex, which I nd really attractive.
Have you ever lied about your number? Im never embarrassed about my number and never lied. Do you care about a girls number? I never really cared about a womans number, but you dont want it to be like crazy, crazy high. What is a slut to you? If she is always faithful to me or whoever she is with at the time then shes good.
MEN TALK
Christopher, 21
What do you think about a womans number? Honestly Ill only have a reaction the rst time a girl would tell me what her number is. If its high Im going to be like damn girl and if its low Im going to be like that is cool. To me its just a number and it wouldnt keep me from dating that person.
Have you ever lied about your number? I have never lied about my number. What is a slut to you? A slut to me isnt much of a number of how many guys she slept with but more of how she put herself out there... clubs, friend functions, dates etc.
Ty, 21
Sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable, because I do feel like they judge me based on my answer, but for the most part it really doesnt bother me, and Im not afraid to answer truthfully.
Have you ever lied about it?
Have you ever lied about it? I have lied about it, maybe only exposing one sexual partner, like my high school sweetheart, making it sound more acceptable. What does sex mean to you?
I think some are, but Id probably make a guess that most arent.
What number of sexual partners do you think is common for men and women in college?
When did you rst have sex? What do you think about your number?
Im not sure what a man would think! It depends on who you ask. Ask a fraternity guy and hed probably think that was low. Ask a straight-laced, traditional guy and he might think Im a whore.
If a man was at your number, would you have that same idea of them?
Sex has always been about love for me. However, It wasnt until the past year that I actually gured out was love was. ats when I knew what sex wasnt it.
How long do you wait to sleep with a guy?
I rst had sex very young at 15. I used to be ashamed of my number, but now I know it does not de ne me.
Is there a reason for that number?
If a guy my age had slept with four people, I feel like people would not blink an eye.
How do you feel about men asking you your number?
e rst three guys Ive slept with had all been guys I had dated for over a year. My last partner was older, so I felt pressured to have sex sooner in the relationship, about three months in.
What would your parents say about your number?
Sex means waiting for the right person, and not just someone youve known for a month and think they are e One. To me, it really means taking that extra step with someone you could seriously see yourself spending the rest of your life with.
How long do you wait to sleep with a guy?
Recently, Ive realized the guys who would ask that question are not guys I want to associate with anyway.
My parents know my number. eyre response was so simple and loving, I couldnt have been more relieved.
Apparently, a long time if Ive had a few boyfriends, and Im still a virgin.
Im actually very proud of my number. It represents me and my beliefs about waiting til marriage.
Is there a reason for that number?
My parents know, and theyre very proud that Ive decided to wait for the right guy.
Jessie, 21 Have you ever lied about your number? I would lie if it was high... yes I have lied about my number. What constitutes as a slut to you? Hmm a slut, I dont think a number would dene a slut. Probably behavior.
First and foremost, I am a Christian and believe that God has intended sex to be saved for marriage. I strongly believe that there is a guy out there that God has for me, and I am willing to wait for him! I wear a purity ring that says, True Love Waits as a reminder of my commitment to my future hubby.
What do you think men think about your number?
Im de nitely not ashamed of my number. I tell guys upfront about it, and if they arent willing to respect that then theyre a waste of my time.
Have you ever lied about it?
Nope!
I think that guys de nitely respect women who are willing to wait. I know some guys dont and think its weird that Ive never had sex, but Ive always known I was a little weird.
If a man was at your number, would you have t hat same idea of them?
Sex is very important to me. I think there is so much more to it that a physical tie, it is an emotional as well as a spiritual tie, and Ive seen so much heartbreak in my friends that have had sex with a guy that has dumped them. Im waiting for the one and it will mean all the more when that wedding day nally happens.
How long do you wait to sleep with a guy?
Yes, these days I would highly respect a guy with the same num-

WITH
MACKENZIE FRAZIER
HER STYLE IS GENETIC
When Mackenzie wanted to take a stylish approach to decorating her small dorm room, she knew just who to ask for help: her mom. As Mackenzie puts it, Having a mom who is an interior designer really didnt influence my style, it MADE my style! Together, they pulled together an assortment of DIY accessories and colorful picture frames to customize Mackenzies bedroom. With an emphasis on crisp blues and greens, this room has successfully shed the dorm look and is the perfect cozy retreat that Mackenzie hoped for. What was your inspiration when designing your room? My inspiration when decorating my room really wasnt anything in particular, just me and my mom (being an interior designer) mixing and matching our ideas of what we thought would be cute! (Mostly my mom though.) How did you choose which colors to use? I chose my color scheme based off of my headboard. I bought the headboard from someone last year and decided I liked the simplicity of the white and green so I just stayed with that and picked my bedding off of those colors. What is one thing you couldnt live without in your room? One thing I couldnt live without would be my desk organizer. I am crazy organized, and that desk shelf definitely helps keep all of my stuff organized, while still making it look neat! Which item in your room best describes your personality? The accessory that best describes my personality would have to be the mirror. Its contemporary, fun and gives the room depth while adding personality! What is one thing you would change about your room? One thing I would change in my room next year would definitely be not having a white comforter. It gets stains on it so easily and with me being a neat freak, it definitely doesnt sit too well with me! How did you lose the dorm room look? To lose the dorm room look, I just made it my own. My room in WIllow Hall is a lot like my room at home... which is exactly what I wanted! I like the crisp and sophisticated look because it makes it feel cosy and warm! What is your favorite piece in the room? Oh, I have two: my headboard and curtains. I got the headboard from my big sister in Phi Mu! Her mom welds, so she handmade that and used it last year! I absolutely fell in love with it when I saw it so I bought it from her and am using it this year! The curtains are special to me because my grandmother made both the closet curtain and the window curtain. Pay Attention to the Details
DIY Projects
Complement the design of any room with hand made projects like this pen cup holder.
MY PLACE
Splurge!
Adding some high end pieces can give your room some sophistication. Check out ZGallery or Pottery Barn for some throw piillows.
Try to keep your room free of clutter, while having a couple of frames is great, too many pieces can overwhelm the room.

I like living in Creekside because I think its a really safe and nice environment but its also a lot of fun. Creekside throws barbeques and has a lot of activities for residents to meet one another. The clubhouse is really great because it has a computer room, gym, tanning beds, billiards and their pool is the best!
