5 Ways Dating In College is Hard

In This Article:

College is a time of living your best life, but dating in college can be very hard at times.

Ghosting

There is nothing worse then waking up in one day to being left on read. When you snapchat/text them they still leave you on read until you never hear from them again. It can leave someone wondering what exactly went wrong, they can feel confused because as far as you knew everything was ok... until it wasn't. It does not take much to tell someone that it is not working out, not to mention it will make the person feel better to know what happened instead of constantly wondering.

sex is expected 

In my experience if a guy takes you on a date sex is expected. It is like the boys will actually be mad at you for not putting out on the first date.

You cannot say what you feel in the fear of "being crazy"

There has been so many times boys have done me wrong, and instead of telling them exactly how I feel I just suffer in silence. Girls get the label of being crazy just because they explain how they feel, and I think that is a shame.

There is never a label to anything

You can spend everyday with a boy for the past couple of weeks, spend the night with him, and text him constantly. However, the minute someone brings up the idea of defining the relationship things get weird and awkward.

You have to date boys who simply put are not it

When you are casually dating you can get discouraged quickly, you have to go through a lot of duds before you find a potential boyfriend.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
