You'll spend days watching movies about meeting your soulmate as your lab partner, or finding them on the football field. Once college hits, you won't have to worry about immature boys.
Whatever they said, whatever you've seen, hopefully by now you've figured out, "they" were probably wrong. There are many types of men you'll meet in college, maybe even Mr. Right, but the scenarios and stories are completely false. Here's a more accurate realization of the five types of "relationships" you will see in college:
1.The High School Relationship
Congrats! You've managed to remain dating the same boy through a tough transition. It's now October, and he's still around! I know this scenario can, somehow, workout, because my parents did it successfully, and maybe I have too. However, you cannot remain in the "same" relationship you were in during high school.
Each of you has some growing up to do, whether it be through your actions, your goals, or your expectations of each other. These people, though, are the ones you'll laugh at on Facebook, you'll pray your sorority sisters dump, and you are secretly envious of.
2.The "We Are Still Hanging Out After a Date Party"
Oh, you read that one right. You had a wedding party, you dressed up together, you Instagrammed the two of you, and now...somehow...it's been three weeks and you're still hanging out. Maybe it's your future boyfriend? Give it a shot. I secretly know that most date party dates are set up with people who would somehow MAYBE get along, so who knows?
3.The "We Met at FOCUSGreek or Navigators and Love God and Are Together FOREVER"
True Love. You've found it. Your relationship is now based off God, helping each other search for a success in the world, and ending up perfectly. Guys wonder "what is he thinking", but girls are all jealous. We'll see you on Tuesday and Wednesday nights snacking together and sharing stories of your relationships in public (I'm semi-gagging, semi-thinking this is adorable).
4.The "I Somehow Met You and We Fell in Love"
That random guy who photobombed your selfie at a football game. The girl who you played intramurals with. The Friday night hookup you never thought would turn into anything. It happens. GO FOR IT. This rare scenario ends up with pinnings on Monday nights.
5.Lastly... The "He/She Thinks We Are Together, But We Are Not"
You sorority sister obsesses over this boy, stating they are "exclusive". This boy, however, is off with another girl in a different chapter the night after, and you're making a fool of yourself (this could be a boy, too).
If you haven't defined yourselves, OR if you are not 110% sure of the other person's actions, this isn't a college relationship. It's nothing. It isn't Mr. Right. Unfortunately, this is probably the most common scenario. Re-read the first paragraph for better tips.
So, all in all, you'll meet some real winners in college. You'll meet men who are driven and want to be successful, but you might occasionally find someone who was lucky to meet the minimum ACT entrance score. Happy categorizing!
