The Hook Up Culture is a huge movement in today's day and age in which many young adults partake in.
When referring to this type of culture in society, it is talking about how people would rather have quick one night stands rather than having real commitment with someone.
This way, they do not have to worry about having any strings attached.
The question of whether people want to stay in this type of culture or go back to having real relationships vary.
A Michigan State student, Jose Gavina, gave his insight on what he wants for our society.
"Personally, I feel like we just need to get out of this Hook Up Culture. I'm more of a committed relationship kind of person. But then again, there really isn't a way to escape the Hook Up Culture since you can't control everyone," Gavina said.
Hooking up in general is a personal preference; they must know the possible risk factors going into it and then decide from there if they are willing to go through with it or not.

In today's society, the so-called "Hook Up Culture" is very prevalent among young adults, as opposed to actual commitment and label-based relationships.

This culture refers to casual sexual encounters every here and there, whether it be with someone random or not.

There are many reasons as to why many people may cater to this type of lifestyle rather than seeking out real connections from others.

However, it is known that males and females may be perceived differently in these circumstances a lot of the time.

An expert in sexual behavior, Dennis Martell, gave his insight as to why this may be.
"There has always been a double standard having to do with women compared to men who have multiple partners. Women are sometimes erroneously looked at as (not my words) 'sluts', whores, loose, while men are usually looked at as a player, stud, etc. Truly a double standard that should not exist," Martell said.

Since double standards regarding the Hook Up Culture are definitely very universal, what could be done to help judgments towards it?

Yik Yak is very popular social media application (app) that is, for the most part, directed towards the college crowd, and can possibly get out of hand at some points.
Due to this specific app being anonymous, students may take things out of hand and post reckless things.
There could be so much as forms of sexting, people asking for sexual favors in general, etc.
An expert in kid's use of social media, Christine Greenhow, gave insight as to how the issue behind this could possibly be solved.
"We need better education efforts; we need to both research education that addresses in the classroom how to stay safe online and to think about your behavior on these online settings so it doesn't come back to haunt you. Teachers and students need to work together to make these things apparent because students aren't thinking about the future," Greenhow said. 
Think before you post, Yik Yak users. You never know who may be documenting your every move.

The social media application named Yik Yak is very popular among college students, seeing as how they use it as a way to post things they see and their thoughts.
The catch behind it though, however, is that it is completely anonymous.
Due to this, students think they can post whatever they want, perhaps in a reckless matter, and not have it traced back to them.
In cases like this, it is very easy for cyberbullying to become an issue.
A Michigan State student who uses Yik Yak, Kelsie Hopfauf, gave her input on the subject.
"I have seen several posts directly targeting a single person by explaining what they were wearing/doing followed by how the original poster thinks the person is 'ugly,' 'stupid,' 'ridiculous,' or something of that sort," Hopfauf said.
So when taking these factors into account, what could be done to help prevent possible issues that could come along with the app?

Once class is done for the day, everyone at Michigan State University knows that 5:00 p.m. means it's dinnertime.
MSU student Lindsay Baird had a long day of classes today and was counting on Landon Hall to have something yummy for dinner.
The first thing that caught her eye was Aztec chicken from the Bistro line.
Baird thought this looked like a good choice, so she decided to get it.
After she got her food, she found her best friend, Aftyn Williams, in the cafeteria and sat with her.
While Baird was eating, she realized that this chicken was not what she expected to be.
Williams suggested to Baird that she should go up to the cafeteria workers and complain.
Instead of doing this, however, Baird just decided to stick with something simple; some yogurt with granola.
Maybe Baird will have better luck with her dinner options next time.

Once 5:00 p.m. hits at Michigan State University, everyone knows that means it's dinnertime!
MSU student Lindsay Baird comes to Landon Hall every day for dinner in suspense on what the cafeteria may be offering each day.
It's something different each time; whether it be an authentic pasta, enchiladas, or some sort of other type of fancy dish.
Today, Baird was really counting on the cafeteria offering some type of chicken with a good sauce over it.
She has had a long day of classes and just wants to make up for it with a good meal.
Will her wish come true?
