If you think about it, college isn't a good excuse to end your relationship with someone you love and care deeply about. Yes, being hours and hours apart from your loved one will be and is extremely tough, but here are 5 reasons why breaking up because of college is dumb.

1. Losing your best friend

Personally, someone you love is normally your someone you can have fun with, be yourself with, share secrets with, and never get tired of. Characteristics like those are characteristics of a best friend. Your partner is your best friend. Do you really want to give that up?

2. No one will ever be like them

For some people, maybe you don't want someone like your old partner. But what if your partner is everything you've ever wanted in a person? What if you planned on spending your life with that person, you're really going to let going to different colleges or universities determine that?

3. The memories

It's very, very hard to tell the difference between missing a person, and missing the memories. Eliminate that option, and don't let that person become a memory and all the time you spent with them become one either.

4. A relationship is better than a hook up

At the end of the night, going home with/to/talking the one, same person every time, is a billion times better than someone new or different every weekend. Even if you are unable to go back to your dorm room or house to your loved one, it's much better knowing you have them, and FaceTiming them, than bringing back someone else to your room. Two is never better than one.

5. Time should not be a factor

If you really love someone, time is never a determining factor when it comes to a relationship. Even if it becomes months without seeing each other, the emotions and feelings shouldn't fade or change, but grow. Time should make you appreciate each other more, and appreciate the time you do get with each other, not making you grow farther apart.
