How to meet Mr Right

Aaaaaahhhh, the joys of being in love. What is better than that feeling of butterflies in your stomach when seeing that special someone in your life? Well maybe a credit card with no limit during fashion week in Milan...but for the sake of this article, NOTHING!

How does a girl know that the man standing infront of her will take care of her, love her, not cheat on her, be considerate of her feelings, put her first? Is there a simple, miracle test to finding out if he is everything you want in man? Well, NO!

Now don’t head to the convent just yet!!There are some more fun ways of finding that hunk.

1. Take up Golfing. Now ladies’, golfing is a sport which men of ALL traits play. This is an easy way in which you can meet men in a relaxed and yet competitive environment. Men use the golfing experience to network, or in our case, this networking can be flirting. And if you did not find Mr Right, you would at least have built up some potential business contacts.
2. Go to Coffee Bars. This is where people usually go to relax, read a newspaper or a book and casually chat with other coffee-junkies. This is a place men go to take a break from their everyday lives and not worry about work, money etc. This is an environment where one could easily initiate first contact, by seeing someone sitting on the couch reading a newspaper or book you have just finished. So heat it up over a hot cafe late.
3. Go to a sports bar. ALL MEN LOVE SOME SPORTS. What is it all men talk about? Sports, Fast cars and you know what. This is an easy way to chat up cute guys by showing interest, and knowledge in a specific sport.
4. Go to a Speed Dating Night. This is a VERY easy way to meet men that you know are also looking for that someone special. And yes, it might be a VERY painful experience, but hey who ever said finding love is easy?
5. Join a Gym. Gyms are basically like night clubs, without all the drinking and standing around. And even if you don’t find Mr Right, you may find a hunk with abs of steel to take you on a very HOT date.
6. Cultivate a LARGE circle of friends. This way you will meet people you would never have before.

Ok, so this is not working, well STOP BEING SO DESPERATE AND OBSESSED! All good things come to those who wait, but in the mean time, follow some advice I got from a girlfriend. Look for a guy with:
A great smile, nice personality and HOT ass. Because then at least when he leaves you will have a GREAT vision instilled in your mind!

Happy Hunting Girls......

"Bunch of Animals" is one comment on CPUT strikes.What is your opinion?

“CPUT student strike turns violent”, “Violent CPUT students get attacked by Police”, “and Management closes CPUT”, “Violence at CPUT protest”
These were some of the headlines splashed across newspapers during the time of the CPUT strikes.

GREAT publicity for our institution isn’t it? What parent would want to send their children to CPUT after seeing that this is the manner in which our institution handles a problem?

Personally I think this was a strike that was handled in completely the wrong manner. I personally do understand the reason for the strikes, but why did students turn so violent? Was it necessary to start vandalising the CPUT property??Raid cafeterias? Put the lives of fellow CPUT students in danger??Ruin the reputation of CPUT for potential students? A simple answer, NO!!!!

There are definitely two guilty parties in this whole strike, the SRC and Management. The SRC firstly did not take the time to involve all students in the strike process. They took the liberty to act on behalf of all the CPUT students, but never bothered to involve or even inform students of what this was all about. Management on the other hand was wrong for not communicating with the SRC and did not take the time to “read” the document presented by the SRC, which resulted in their violent response.

Striking has become a regular event at our institution, in my four years of studying at this institution, there has been at least one or two strikes a year. What is the lesson behind all of this? If you want something, STRIKE??Well, then I feel that I have the right to a strike of my own. The striking students violated my right to education. They took away a week of PAID for education. Does this give me the right to start a strike??????

My feeling about all of this, ALL could have been avoided by COMMUNICATION
