Why Having A Serious Relationship In College Isn't Worth it

Going off to college is an incredible milestone. It means independence, lack of parental supervision and the inevitable beer bong or twenty. Attending school teaches you lessons beyond the classroom. You learn how to function by yourself, how to balance a social life while studying and you learn about love. Relationships do happen in college between the late night exam crams and binge eating boxed macaroni. But the effort of maintaining a lasting love is not always worth it when you have so many other things to think about. For some, it does work and work well. For others, it's just not worth it. Here are the 3 reasons why sometimes long-term commitment doesn't make sense in college:   1) You May Lose Your Focus This is a time in your life when you can be totally you-centric. Sometimes a partner's influence can impact your decisions in life, and you can end up sacrificing your own goals to satisfy theirs. 2) You're Unprepared For Post-College Life In school, the structure of your life is totally different. You and your partner hang out in the cafeteria, meet up after English Lit and sneak into each other's dorms. But when real life hits and you have to officially live together and make grown up choices, you may find you're not ready and life begins to wear away at your couplehood. 3) You're Still Learning About Love You don't know everything at 18, 19 or 25. Sometimes what you experience is a concept close to love, but again, the real world is what teaches you how strong your bond is and how deep your emotions are. Not every college relationship crashes and burns, but it's good to understand the difference between in-school dating and real life love. What are your thoughts?
