A New Relationship Right Before College?

I think I’ll keep it as a summer fling

A New Relationship Right Before College?

My mom has always told me not to go into college with a boyfriend and absolutely never follow a boy to college. When we started talking about college seriously a couple years ago, I didn’t think twice about it. I totally thought that I could go to a brand new state and not be attracted to any boys from home.

Well, I got into my first serious relationship back in November. We both knew from the start that we weren’t going to date in college and we ended up breaking up about a week before quarantine started in March. It was kind of terrible getting so attached to him and knowing that we were just waiting for one of us to bring up the college conversation.

Believe it or not, quarantine helped me get over him so much faster than I imagined. But let me tell you, I always have a weird summer fling with someone and then we become weirdly close friends during the school year or we completely ghost each other.

So, naturally, I started messing around with this dude that I’ve been close with since last semester. And I have a really bad habit of self destructing a good relationship with someone after I figure out one thing that I don’t like about them.

With me being the dumb bitch I am, I’ve completely messed up things with four boys since March. Yep, four! Crazy right? I’ve never even talked to that many boys before this. And I have a feeling that it’s about to be bumped up to five.

I know I wouldn’t do well with a long distance relationship. I took the love language test and my top two categories were quality time and physical touch.

So, I guess my mom was right from the start and she knew me a lot better than I even did at the time.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
