Relationships

College kids,

How do relationships work in college? Is it just a bunch a random hookups? I recently got dumped, and I'm wondering if I'll find someone new easily at college. Also, what happens if you date someone for a really long time in college and then he dumps you? Is it easy to find someone when you've been at your school along time?

Erica,

Relationships in college are well...unpredictable. It really all depends on the person and his/her background. I myself, came into college with a relationship that went on all freshmen year and through the summer. Right before school started she broke my heart.

The other college kids have been through their relationships as well. Chris Mc, is still in a very healthy relationship with a girl from back home. Stas has been through his as well, but he is very happy right now with the girl he is with.

I feel everyone has those random hookups in college though. The next morning you will wake up either saying "What did I just do?" or "YES!" You will get some hazing from your close friends, but they mean no harm, you will have the chance to do the same thing to them believe me.

As for getting dumped, it hurts. I know. It's something you need to get past and enjoy what you have while you have it. For instance, last year when I was having troubles with my ex-girlfriend, I lost all my good friends because I was a hermit in my own room. I regret doing that. Carpe diem (seize the day).

I hope everything works out for you.

Good luck,

The college kids
