In college, you meet hundreds of new people. Some of us are lucky, and we meet that one person that can change our world. Before we know it, we're head over heels for the guy who lives down the hall or the girl in our math class. Relationships in college aren't like what they were in high school. We are no longer dating people that we've known for years or living with our parents. Dating is harder, we have more responsibilities, but if you can make it work, it could be one of the best things that has happened to you. For those of us in a relationship in college, here are some things we can all understand.
1. Laundry Days
Having a boyfriend means that there is always going to be someone there to keep you company while you're doing the chores you hate.
2. The Roommates
We've all been there. It's hard to find alone time with your boyfriend when you both have roommates. You have no way of knowing whether your roommate is going to walk through that door.
3. Eating together
You pretty much eat every meal together, and he's seen you eat enough to feed a small village, but he doesn't judge. On the occasion that you're not that hungry, he'll finish your plate, so you don't feel like you're wasting.
4. Going out
The beauty of going out with your boyfriend on the weekend is that you know you'll always be safe. Even if you're at a sucky party, you can still count on having fun because at least you have each other.
5. Study dates
College relationships consist of a lot of study dates. Since most of your days are spent studying, at least you have someone to keep you sane.
6. Netflix and Chill
Those occasional days where you don't have any work to do or when you're feeling under the weather you can count on your boyfriend to sit and watch your favorite show on Netflix.
7. Your biggest supporter
He will always be your biggest supporter. He will always understand that school comes first. He'll be by your side through it all.
8. End of the Year
The hardest part of a college relationship is when you have to switch into long distance mode. You go from having your best friend down the hall to being miles and miles away, but you know it's only a little while until you're right back to the place that you started.
