We all survived the holiday pressures of countless relatives asking you if you found a boyfriend or girlfriend in college. Correction: we barely survived. Well, get ready for round two, because as nice everyone tries to be about Valentine’s Day, there are some comments, questions and concerns that are unavoidable.
“You have to get to know yourself first.” After 20-some years, I’m sure we have a pretty good idea about who we are. We are getting ready for the real world and I’m pretty sure we can handle a relationship.
“This is the best time to be single!” Being single in college can mean that you’re a raging party animal or that Netflix is your best friend. Or you have a 4.0 GPA. Being single in college means living a life of extremity and some balance could be a good thing. Or not. I mean, whatever floats your boat.
“Good thing you like cats.” Cats are great, so shut up.
“I know someone who would be perfect for you.” One thing it’s fine to never do in college is go on a blind date. If it goes terribly, you will probably see the person around campus and you will have to pretend to be nice.
“You don’t need anyone.” You got that right.
