As of recent, it seems that many of my friends are finding themselves getting stuck in relationship problems, so it seemed like a good idea to discuss this on my blog. I’ve got the friends who aren’t sure where they stand with their “significant other,” the friends who are having problems because their boyfriends are living at home while they’re here, the friends whose boyfriends just aren’t sure if they want a relationship anymore, etc. Honestly, I’m not even sure what advice to give them anymore!
In a relationship, you are not only growing with another person, but you yourself are growing, as well. You may not realize it at first, but your attitudes toward certain things may change as you spend more time around your significant other, and when the relationship ends, you most certainly will find yourself questioning what you want from a relationship, what type of person you should date, etc. You may even begin to notice certain dating patterns that you have or certain ways you act at specific points in a relationship.
There are many different types of relationships in a college setting. You have the boyfriend, the I Don’t Really Know What We Are But I’m Afraid To Ask, the you-know-what-buddy…the list goes on. CollegeBlender.com gives a pretty accurate description of some of these various types.

Whether or not having a real relationship in college is possible nowadays is something about which I have not yet come to a conclusion. Sometimes I see couples that seem like they don’t have a worry in the world, and other times (in many cases) I see couples who are constantly stuck in a whirlwind of conflict and confusion.
I'm interested to hear your personal opinions on both this list and on relationships, in general!
College relationships definately are hard I think especially if you were going out before coming to school. College changes people between the maturing and the lack of parental supervision and sometimes I think a relationship can hold you back. I broke up with my boyfriend right before I came to school because I knew it would be too hard on me to have a long distance relationship and not be able to see him. I honestly am happy about it now though because I think some single fun is needed sometimes, it helps you grow and figure out who you really are
RăspundețiȘtergereThanks for sharing this article. It made me laugh! I know what you mean, it seems like all my friends are having relationship problems currently. I don't know whether its a long-distance thing, a I've gotten to know the real you thing and I don't like you thing, a we've grown apart thing, or something else entirely, but things are crazy.
RăspundețiȘtergereI loved your post and the article that you supplied. I couldn't help but think of couples that I know that perfectly match these descriptions. I think that college relationships are the hardest because college is such a time of change but many still think that they will be able to pull through. There isn't a perfect solution (breaking up or staying together) and so it is always interesting to see how each relationship will play out.
