Most people would rather watch Women in Black in a secluded dark room during a storm than endure the sight of a cute couple locking lips in public. It’s true that PDA is unnecessary because as long as you display affection then why does it have to be done publicly?

I am the new President of Her Campus Exeter. Last year I was a very enthusiastic Sex & Relationships editor, and I hope to be a magazine journalist. I'm slightly addicted to Diet Coke, and running to the fridge is my idea of exercise.
