College is a once-in-a lifetime experience.
During this time meeting friends and making memories that last forever is always such a blissful thing. But there comes a time when you stumble upon someone who takes your heart and never lets go.
Dating in college can be rough.
Couples on campus can spend a lot of time together. Meeting up is only a walk down the hallway. Yet people should enjoy their time and value the friends and relationships that will last a lifetime, and forget what is temporary.
Meeting someone for the first time who lives far away or maybe in the same state can be exciting.
But what about leaving school and leaving a boyfriend or girlfriend behind?
Dating on and off campus can have its ups and downs, for sure.
Dating on campus can be really exciting. Always being with someone and being so close. It seems like an easy way to always go on adventures, dinners and dates together.
But when is spending all that time together enough?
Dating on campus involves always seeing each other and always being together.
You don’t want to spend too much time with your significant other on campus and then leave your friends behind.
This just causes issues with your friends.
And then there’s always breaking up.
Breakups can be calm and civil, or in some cases full of drama and horrible to go through.
Dating on campus can cause a ton of drama, but it can also be fun and exciting!
I always hear of scenarios with students who graduate high school and have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
They head off to separate colleges and visit each other from time to time.
What’s great about this is that you’re always with your friends and not your significant other, avoiding the drama.
It’s always exciting seeing them when they visit and during breaks, there’s always things to catch up on and things to do!
But what if there’s a trust issue?
Dating off campus can also cause a ton of issues along with cheating and breaking up because of the distance.
By all means, long distance relationships between college students can work.
The effort just needs to be taken on both sides of the relationship.
If one person isn’t trying, the boat will sink into a terrible drama sea.
Dating in general can be a confusing topic for college-age students.
Thoughts of being single can be fun but then there’s always the thought of wanting someone to always be there.
But remember, the friendships made in college last forever.
Just make sure to cherish the people you have in your life and don’t worry about those who are temporary.
