College is hard, but add in trying to find a relationship on a college campus with thousands of students who are all different and trying to find the same thing is even harder. I think most college students want to have that commitment, but not that many have it. I wonder why that is, but at the same time, not that many people know how to commit.

Commitment is a foreign term to most millennials because we live in a world where you can change your mind before actually saying something through a text message or you can "filter yourself" on Snapchat if you don’t like the way you look. Technology has made this generation, a generation that can’t commit.

Living in a generation that can’t commit, makes trying to find another person that is similar to you, has interests that are the same, or just "your type," who is also willing to commit, very hard. Living in a party environment where you can just go to the bars and make out with a random person has made a lot of people decide to not commit because “Hey! Free drinks!” Partying can be fun and all, but don’t you want somebody who is there the next day?

I know people who have no idea who they made out with the night before because either they didn’t ask their name or they were too drunk to remember their name. That is not a lifestyle that everybody wants to live. Some people who can’t commit, they “talk” to a person for months to see whether they like them, but really they are “talking” to two other people to see who they like the best.

In this generation technology has also made us want to commit even less because you don’t need to call the person or go see them in person, you can just text them and hope that they know what emotions you are trying to send or you can just send them an emoji so that they will understand you are mad, sad, happy, or laughing. This generation doesn’t rely on meeting new people through personal interactions, they rely on apps where you can just swipe right or left because “Hey! He’s hot!” not because you like their personality or the way that they treat you.

But sadly this is how our generation has turned out.

We grew up playing outside and having person to person interactions, but the technology that we grew up to have has changed that entirely. Sadly I don’t want to know how future generations are going to deal with relationships because most of them don’t even know how to talk to another person their own age because they are given phones at 5 years old so they don’t need to talk to anybody when they can just text with emojis.
