Dating In College, As Told By 'Awkward'
Wikia

Whether we like to admit it or not, dating in college is a completely different ballgame than dating in high school. In college, you don't get to see the same people everyday, and chances are, the cute guy you made heart eyes at across the quad won't be seen ever again. Regardless of when you get thrown into the dating pool, there is no denying that it is awkward from start to finish, and as I am wrapping up my binge watching of all the seasons of MTV's "Awkward," I've noticed that some situations are all too familiar. Here are 15 ways that dating in college is like one of TV's most beloved shows.

1. Thinking all boy problems can be solved with a girls night.


2. When he says you're not his usual "type."


3. Wanting to have an actual conversation with a guy but all he keeps asking for is your Snapchat.


4. When your roommate brings a guy home for the first time and you try to figure out his life story in five minutes.


5. Trying to convince your guy friends to set you up with one of their fraternity brothers.


6. When you've been hooking up with a guy for weeks and still haven't caught the feels.


7. Finding out that half the guys you're attracted to are dating girls that are still in high school


8. Getting the "come watch movies in my dorm" text at 3 a.m.


9. Having those friends that try to set you up with somebody every weekend.

10. When the guy you're casually seeing tries to cause an argument.


11. Being hours away from the one person you wanna tell about all of it.


12. Your best friend when she finds out you're dating the guy she introduced you to.


13. Giving up and turning to your older sister for dating advice.


14. When your 10-year plan doesn't include getting serious about a guy.

15. But when you finally become exclusive with the guy you've been sorta seeing for months.


Maybe you won't find your soulmate in college. Or maybe you will. Whether or not you decide to get involved in the dating world, it can be undoubtedly awkward. It's up to you to make the most of it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
