Some say spring is a time for romance, but by the last few weeks of the quarter, Roxy knows the only love to be had at Stanford is the kind they study in Women in French Cinema. With only a few weeks remaining, there’s no time to start a full-fledged relationship — but Roxy only needs a few hours (or less, in a pinch) for her favorite kind of relationship. With warm days and chilly nights, the logic of the casual hookup is inescapable: find someone to keep your bed warm when the sun ducks behind the moon and who’ll be out of your hair by the time we see light of day again.
And the perks of a spring fling? If you’re heading off to a new place for the summer, this might be your last, ahem, taste of Stanford for a while. Graduating seniors need to lock down their bucket lists, and you certainly can’t hook up in the stacks alone. And of course, with finals on the horizon, there’s no better way to de-stress than to undress.
As this isn’t Roxy’s first time at the spring quarter rodeo, she’s got some suggestions for how to guarantee a successful finish … to the year, of course! If you’re truly looking for random, Roxy recommends the dance floor of an all-campus party. You barely need to exchange names before the DFMO (dance floor make out, of course) can begin — forget pleasantries like class year, major and freshman year IHUM. Alternative places to meet potential hookups include outside on the Row as people wander between parties or on FloMo field mid-day drinking.
After the hookup, you’ve shared plenty — Roxy believes there’s no need to share more information…like your phone number. Of course, if you’re looking for a round two, you might have to give in order to get some. In that case, Roxy recommends you refrain from any texts before dinnertime — you might give the impression that you actually want to see this person before dinner. Similarly, avoid sympathy coffee (you know, the “I want to pretend this wasn’t a random thing so we can go out to coffee once and never talk again” coffee). Nothing ruins hot and steamy memories more than iced beverages and stilted conversation.
Roxy wishes you all the best in your pursuits. Trust her, it’s worth it to end the year with a bang. Or two.
