IT IS A MESSY AFFAIR

By Yolanda Mabanga

Relationships in college can be really tricky to keep afloat, especially with the mentality one adapts in terms of independence, being away from home for the first time, and given a platform to exercise your freedom. Learning to understand who you are and finding your perfect circle of friends can have a huge impact in shaping your ideal partner and understanding your place in their lives.

Adjusting to the social scene and at the same time keep your academic life balanced is confusing when just starting out in college.  Now having to include sustaining an intimate relationship in the process can be considered a bit of a challenge.  Fortunately, it is not a necessity to be in a relationship.  Observations have proven to be that the relationships witnessed have been unsuccessful due to a number of circumstances.

In college these circumstances include partying, balancing friends, studying and maintaing ones self without parents being there to overlook that. Forcing relationships has never worked out, when people are meant to be together it should flow. The best relationships started as individuals being friends, having that chance to have grown and understood each other over the years.  I believe that these things do take time and should never be rushed.
