Campus living, cell phones and dirty messages? Students are giving modern technology a new use to–er, scratch an itch… without having to speak a word.

Sappy love songs come and go, but Neil Sedaka said it best — breakin’ up is hard to do. And for me it was the worst.

It is the wee hours of a Thursday morning and you decide to call it quits at the library. Stifling a yawn, you begin the trek back to the coffin-sized digs that you call your dorm room.

Over his/her bare shoulder you note a likewise scantily-clad form scrambling to protect their vanity with your favorite decorative pillow. Excellent.

Will Smith said it best (and it’s a safe bet I will never use that phrase again) in his aptly titled hit Summertime, “It’s like the summer’s a natural aphrodisiac.” But what is it about the summer that breeds so many casual, tumultuous, and fleeting relationships? Circumstances surrounding individual flings are as numerous as the grains of sand on the beaches where they often originate, but I have a sneaking suspicion that there are a few fundamental causes that explain this hot weather phenomenon.
