For this week I honestly did know what to write my blog on, so I went on Google and entered college freshman came across this very important interesting topic: freshman relationships. I am not in a relationship myself and I have to admit at times it gets lonely to not have a boyfriend. But I think it is better to be single then be in a relationship that is not healthy especially in during your first year in college. Sometimes the stress of having a boyfriend or girlfriend is too much when you are already stressing about your school work. Being in a relationship can also be time consuming, even to those long distance couples. Those hours spent on oovoo or Skype can also take up a lot of your time. To make things worse there will always be the nagging boyfriend or girlfriend with the trust problems that will just add more stress to your daily life. I am not saying all relationships are like this though they are some healthy ones. It is always good to have somebody by your side when you need somebody to just listen or comfort you after a bad test or any other bad situation you might be in. In order to be in one of these healthy relationships though you must trust your partner especially if the relationship is long distance. It will also help to be sure about the feelings you have for your partner if you know you or just in a relationship for the fun it’s better to be single. There is lots of fun you can have when you are a single person also. If you are sure it is love then make sure the feeling is mutual do not waste your time with somebody who does not love you back. We are young so therefore we still have time to find the right one. So just remember if you are in a relationship make sure it is a healthy one if it is not I think it is time to move on J
I do agree with you. Its does get lonely. Being in a relationship + college + friends + family + job is hard enough. I have a boyfriend but at times it gets stressful because everyone needs there space. I've always liked to be free.
ReplyDeleteWow this is so true. I remember how in the summer they were stressing so much over this topic with us. They even separated us from the guys so we could have a girl talk about this. I think it's better to not be in a relationship during your first year in college well I mean not a long distance at least because they don't understand what you are going through.
ReplyDeletethis topic relates to me, especially this week. My girlfriend and i just broke up this weekend. Even though it was hard, i know realize that it is better to be single and college and just to have fun.
ReplyDeleteRelationships are extremely complicated especially when you start college. College is stressful enough so a relationship could add to it. I have a friend who is in a relationship that she has been in for almost five years. She is happy but with college, she is trying to balance her life. Thankfully for her, her boyfriend understands so they are ok but it doesn't always workout that way. I think she just has to remember that her education is the most important thing right now and keep her priorities stratight and she will be fine. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mayra. I think it's better to foucus on yourself than be in a relationship you cant take seriously. Why waste time on someone who only stresses you out? Theres no good in it for you. So thats why being single is better in college, especially for freshmen. When I entered college I was not looking for a boyfriend. I wasn't even caring about guys. So it was a surprise to me when I found someone who is worth my time. I think people should focus on themselves and when someone worthwhile shows up..well thats when a relationship will be worthwhile.
ReplyDeletei agree with you sometimes having a boyfriend can be a little annoying.. i have been with mine for 1 year and 2 months and i can say that im really happy with...i admit that we do have our little fights and he sometimes drives me crazy but i love him and he is there when i need him so like Katie said when the one that is worth comes around dont let him go.
ReplyDeleteI agree with not having a partner, but if you know the person and know how to handle yourself its ok. It also helps when your partner is very helpful and could help with classes and homework :)
ReplyDeleteLol...Relationships can certainly cause days to be a bit stressful than others. It be like that sometimes, but it is better to be in a relationship and deal with those stressful days than to not have anyone at all. That’s just my opinion.
