On Saturday, I attended the talk about Dating and Relationships. I was in awe of the turn out, there had to be like 40 people there in the little seminar room.  At first, like a lot of times where people are in a room of people they do not know, the conversation was hard to get started.

SA Andrew came up with a great idea, he had people in groups of two that have never met each other before discuss the question, which in this case was “How does Cornell students being so career oriented effect their relationships when it comes to dating?” I personally feel that it is the lack of obligation that people have when it comes to investing time into a relationship with another person. After this activity, people started opening and giving their own thoughts and opinions. I could feel the tension snap as people began to feel more comfortable. This was definitely a topic that needed to be discussed.

Also, it was really nice to see people come out on a Saturday morning to have a discussion.
