Relationships

If you have a relationship in high school and your a senior, reconsider. If your going to the same school next year, then try to make it work. Truth is, high school relationships don't last very long when both members go to different schools.  You and your "loved" one will spend countless hours questioning each other as one goes to a frat party and the other has a sports team date party.

You've been trained since elementary school to socialize with certain people and dress a certain way. College opens up a knew perspective on life. You may find that you enjoy something that you didn't think was socially acceptable, such as a play, a dance, or club. While your discovering yourself, so is your significant other. You've spent the last eighteen years of your life with the same people, in the same classes, having the same sleep overs, eating at the same lunch periods. 

Funny thing is this probably sounds awful. However, high school students make the mistake of being narrow minded into believing that something as simple as a high school relationship can be the end of the world. 

In college you'll also find your true friends. Wait until Thanksgiving break and you'll see what I mean. You will no longer have anything interesting to talk to your friend, things you find funny at school, your friends won't understand. Along with this, people change. I have friends that stayed at home and they never changed. Never grew up as a person. Still stuck in the same high school mind process.  I've also had friends that went away to school and although some I still remain close to this day, the majority have moved on with their lives.

College is a roller coaster ride of discovering who you are. Enjoy it!

“You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."”
