As a college student about to end my sophomore year, it is safe to say I have seen it all when it comes to hook ups, break ups, relationships, and just awkward college romantic/platonic chemistry. There's very few people in college, high school even, who know what they want out of a partner or a relationship, and who can blame them since it's such a busy time in life.

5. But actually failing:

11. After talking to your crush in-person for thirty seconds:
12. When things aren't going well and you flag down a friend to save you:
13. Reflecting on your so-called "game" to your roommates:
14. But deep down, you know that you could can rock both the single life and a relationship:
