Love in College

Hello everyone!

I am here to talk to you about love in college, to most we equate finding a functional relationship in college with finding love in a hopeless place. The search for a life long companion can seem impossible in this setting because of the various types of people you encounter in college. Some people you meet are incredible and things work perfectly, others fit the stereotypes we've had our whole lives and live down to everything you thought they would be. This blog is here to help give life to some of those relationships. I will draw on my own life experience to try to explain how hard it is to actually find a quality, long lasting relationship in college.
A lot of young girls go to college thinking that they are going meet their life partner in the next 4 years. Movies and pop culture tell us that this is what should happen. You go to college and some gorgeous boy asks to help carry your bags into new fabulous dorm room or you're walking across the quad and the gorgeous athlete is playing football with his friends sees you and cannot resist throwing the ball your way just to get your attention. However after coming to college you find that the only people who help you move in are the move in crew and their mission is to move as fast as possible and leave you sobbing with your parents over your fears of college. You also find yourself picking the most strategic route to avoid the quad on beautiful days because inevitably you will either find friends and skip your class or you are afraid to get nailed in the face with a frisbee while walking by someone who shows no sympathy and is mad your face got in the way of the game.
As a senior there has been a statistic circulating my group of friends, it is 50% harder to find someone to be in a relationship with after college. I'm not entirely sure what this means, their are 6 billion people in this world and college is an extremely small bubble of people so the likelihood of your one true love being in this isolated group of people seems nearly impossible to me! However it is possible to meet your soulmates in college. You meet people that will be in your life forever and that have become the most important people in your life.
So heres to finding love in the hopeless of place!
