Imagine this: You’re walking down the hall having a great day, maybe you just aced a test, or found out you don’t have any homework for the night. Then, all of a sudden, you turn the corner and see the most disturbing sight one possibly could: two teenagers making out.
To save you the breath of running away in horror, I have compiled a list of the top five best places to smooch, or avoid, on campus (other than the hallways).
#1 Back of the classroom
The best place to share a passionate kiss with your special someone is in the classroom. I think I’m speaking for everyone when I say PDA in the classroom is neither disgusting nor distracting. In fact, kissing in the classroom offers students many opportunities. They are not only in a safe and comfortable place, but they also get to be educated while making out! Students who make out in the classroom tend to be well-received by their fellow classmates and teachers. They NEVER get weird glances in their direction or are made fun of months after the makeout sesh.
#2 French bathroom
The girls’ bathroom at the end of the 100s hallway is historically known to be a romantic rendezvous. Although there is no more artwork on the stalls, this bathroom is generally the cleanest and nicest of the bathrooms. The stalls are roomy and sometimes you get an alluring whiff of crepes being cooked next door in the French classroom! The French bathroom may be your new favorite make-out spot if you’re more introverted.
#3 In front of Natalie Lehman’s car
As ASB secretary, Natalie Lehman is all about building community. And what is community-based on? Love! Natalie LOVES love and public displays of affection. She often finds it annoying when the hallways get clogged with kissing couples as she makes her way to class. To solve this, I propose a solution: Natalie Lehman would feel absolutely honored if the parking lot area in front of her car became your next kissing destination! “The sight of couples displaying their affection on the top of my car, would probably make my day, or even make my year!” Lehman said.
#4 Quad during break
Although the Quad is similar to the hallways, it is more open and airy. No more stuffy hallway kisses! The key to smooching in the quad is to do it during break. That way, you and your boo will blend into the crowds of freshmen and sophomores who congregate there. They’ll be so busy talking to their friends that they won’t even notice you two! Plus, what’s more romantic than showcasing your love for the whole world to see?
#5 Elevator
The elevator is the most unsuspecting of the locations on this list. Who would make out in an elevator? You’d be surprised. Arcata High’s elevator is generally off-limits to most people on campus, so not a lot of people know how lovely of a place it is. The fluorescents will cast you in a ghastly glow that is sure to set the mood just right.
Note to reader: If you have considered kissing your beloved in any of these places, seek help immediately.
