			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/pennstate-prod-perfume_1.jpg" title="pennstate-prod-perfume_1.jpg" alt="pennstate-prod-perfume_1.jpg" align="left" />I love Fordham. L-o-v-e it. I&#8217;ve got my school t-shirt and my string bag and, yes, that might have been me you saw at the basketball game <a href="http://www.fordham.edu//Media/RamMusic/FordhamRam(Band).mp3" target="_blank">singing along to The Ram</a>.  If you asked me to describe the essence of Fordham, I could tell you about the Jesuit education tradition, or the hard-working student body, or the thrill of studying in New York.  Or I could just buy it for you.</p>
<p>Thanks to a new company called <a href="https://masik.com/universities/" target="_blank">Masik Collegiate Fragrances</a>, you can now purchase the scent of your school in perfume form. If scent is the sense most closely tied to memory, the kind folks at Masik have now made it possible to <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97766027&amp;ft=1&amp;f=1013" target="_blank">capture the memories of the best years of your life</a> with just a whiff of their product. Want to show off your school pride in a stylish, subtle way? Buy a bottle of your school&#8217;s perfume!</p>
<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking: how did they capture the distinctive smell of public-bathroom-disinfectant and Natty Light with just a pinch of mildew? And who on earth would ever wear that? But their methods are much more creative than that. Masik creates specific fragrances based on a variety of factors, such as school colors, traditions, and flowers found on campus.  The goal is not to recreate a scent with which students are already familiar (i.e. spilled laundry detergent and leftover pizza), but a new scent that students can adopt and wear and begin to associate with their college memories.  Not a bad idea.</p>
<p>Currently, they have developed fragrances for UNC-Chapel Hill and Penn State, with Auburn, UF, Tennessee, and others on the way. (Note to Masik: anytime you want to get started on Fordham&#8217;s, be my guest.) So if you&#8217;ve got any Tar Heels or Nittany Lions fans on your holiday gift list this year, $60.00 will get you a bottle of their school perfume/cologne.  And be on the lookout in case your school is next; perhaps you, too could be spritzing a bottle of Eau du Alma Mater in the near future!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Occasionally during my down time at my &#8220;real person&#8221; job post college, I peruse my <a href="http://www.syracuse.edu">alma mater&#8217;s</a> student newspaper <a href="http://www.dailyorange.com">online</a>. I suppose it&#8217;s my way of living vicariously through the drama and events still going on at my beloved campus&#8230;which amazingly enough, still go on even without me.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/28/couple2.jpg?w=340&h=426" alt="sex couple" align="left" height="426" width="340" />Occasionally during my down time at my &#8220;real person&#8221; job post college, I peruse my <a href="http://www.syracuse.edu">alma mater&#8217;s</a> student newspaper <a href="http://www.dailyorange.com">online</a>. I suppose it&#8217;s my way of living vicariously through the drama and events still going on at my beloved campus&#8230;which amazingly enough, still go on even without me.  Today, I actually came across some surprising news that I was not aware of: College girls orgasm only HALF as much as college men.  Sucks for us.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m sure many things are running through your head right now as possible justifications for this statistic.  I think we can all atest to the fact that most college hookups don&#8217;t exactly rock your world for a variety of reasons, (alcohol involved, inexperience, someone you don&#8217;t know extremely well, yada yada) so when you put it in perspective, it seems to make sense.</p>
<p>Apparently the survey was done by a professor at <a href="http://www.stanford.edu">Stanford University</a>. It questioned 4,000 students about their most recent hook-ups, which ranged from kissing to manual sex to oral sex to intercourse. The results showed that 44 percent of men had reached orgasm compared to 19 percent of women. More specifically, 70 percent of men climaxed during intercourse without oral sex beforehand, but only half the amount of females could do the same.<span id="more-6237"></span></p>
<p>Why might this be? The article gave a <a href="http://media.www.dailyorange.com/media/storage/paper522/news/2007/11/14/News/O.Gap.College.Women.Orgasm.Less.Than.Men-3099397-page2.shtml">number of suggestions</a> such as women tend to not speak up or are scared to talk about what they desire, women don&#8217;t masturbate as much as men (that opens a whole separate can of worms), and that women are more worried about their partner&#8217;s satisfaction than their own.</p>
<p>Moral of the story: Although this was a small and selective survey, it brings up interesting points about the nature of most college girls&#8217; sex lives. Don&#8217;t be scared to speak your mind and fight for what you want, even if that translates to the bedroom. Let&#8217;s reverse this finding.</p>
