You may consider yourself a very rational person. You find yourself capable of assessing situations and being able to apply both logic and emotion equally and efficiently. When you heard that high school relationships don't make it in college you probably agreed - even though you were in one yourself. You were so sure that none of the things that people often listed (time, distance, maturing, etc, etc) would hurt your relationship. You recognized that things would change, some for better and some for worse, but no matter what you and bae would make it through.

But it didn't work out. Surprise, surprise. Everyone was right. Though it felt like they were trying to harm you at the time, you know now that that's not quite true. You know now that while it may have been patronizing to hear in the relationship, it kind of feels like an unheeded warning now. It would have saved you a lot of heartbreak, and heartbreaking for that matter, if you had just broken it off in high school.

When you got to college, as soon as you stepped on the foreign concrete, you knew that things were going to change. The air you breathed in - that was new air, new adult "glo'd up" air. The spirit of college, a mix of responsibility, contentment, anxiousness, restlessness and untamable fun, entered you immediately.

Bae came up to college with you to help you unpack your things and give you a sweet goodbye. But almost immediately you both feel it. There standing on the porch of your new home, two feet away from each other, it already feels like bae is back home and the two of you are miles apart. Bae wants to hold your hand and glare in every eye that falls on you, but you just want to run around waving your hands in the air because you're finally here. Your life is starting now. And so the breakup begins.
