After all, some space helps make for a healthy relationship.

You Shouldn't Spend All Of Your Time With Your Significant Other

I would like to start with wishing everybody a very happy cuffing season. Even though not everyone will get cuffed, I know a decent amount of people entering relationships and even more who were already in relationships before cuffing season even began.

When it comes to being in a relationship, especially at the very beginning, couples want to spend all of their time together. I have been in relationships so I totally understand the feeling of always wanting to be with your significant other.

Trust me I get it. You're the happiest you've ever been now that they're in your life and you want nothing more than to spend time with them. Your relationship is thriving and it's everything that you've ever wanted.

However, there comes a point where even the closest couples will need some time apart. I understand that saying that couples should not spend time together is a hot take. Just hear me out, all I'm saying is that sometimes people need time for themselves.

In fact, please take time for yourself. Spend time with your friends or your family. By spending so much time with your significant other, you are not allowing yourself to function independently anymore. You could even become dependent on that person which does not make for a healthy relationship.

You should realize that you need breaks from each other and that being yourself, without your significant other outside of the relationship is normal and should be done. Sure, you might miss your other half but whenever you are apart but some space keeps the relationship healthy.

Unfortunately, so many of my friends have gotten into relationships and ended up spending all of their time with their significant other and forgot all about their other friends including myself. Some of them even stopped talking to or spent less time with their family in order to make sure they were always with their significant other.

Please, do not do that. Remember to spend time apart and make sure you don't get dependent on each other. Make sure you remember the other loved ones in your life, including dear friends and family, and make sure you check on them too!

There is more to life than the being in a relationship, regardless of how much you love your significant other. Remember that you are your own person and what makes for a healthy relationship.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
