Where there's Fire

[ClaireN]

Relationships in college are often an item that one searches for. The reason? Perhaps it is simply the need to connect with someone who is studying in the same field as yourself, maybe for support, companionship, but truly what's the rush in this whole game of "finding the one"?

Here's it is, you're in college. Obviously, but not to look for that special "someone." You're there to learn, obtain a higher degree of knowledge, and find yourself a good job. So, you want to know what to do in terms of relationships in college--Don't make it a priority. This isn't a relationship hating situation; it's merely a priority realization. If you find someone is college--Great! But don't go to school JUST to find someone, and don't expect every semester to be your potential, "This could be where I meet my one." It doesn't work like that.

School is enough work on its own, why must you complicate it further with this non-sense of being with someone? College is for learning, fun, socializing, growth, and a better future. Have fun, stay light, and sure "date," but don't get yourself wrapped up in unneeded and unnecessary drama.

I've also found the people that are searching never find the keepers anyway! It's best to let things just fall into place. College is supposed to be the time of your life and a place to get a quality education, not a matchmaking service. Just have fun and if someone comes along, awesome! If they don't, there is no need to worry. We're still young, we have plenty of time for relationships in the future.

I really love the last part that you wrote. College is stressful enough and the last the one needs is a complicated relationship.

Yeah I totally agree. =]

You know one of my friends told me something that I thought was pretty cool as well. Instead of spending all our time looking for the right one, why not spend all our time becoming the right one. That way when we do actually meet that right person then we'll be ready for the relationship.
