No one said it would be easy, so prepare for all the obstacles that will be swung your way.

Trust:

Trust is extremely important when being in a relationship. You don’t want to waste your whole day wondering what your sweetheart is doing, and laying awake at night stressing where that person is. The best thing to do is put full trust in one another, and trust the love you guys share is real.

Honesty:

Honesty goes hand in hand with trust. If there’s no honesty there’s no trust, and it’s really that simple. No matter what it is, even if it’s the worst thing possible, you need to spill the beans. Eventually things always work itself out. If he or she is that special sweetheart, there will always be a way out.

Communication:

If your sweetheart can’t make the time, then you know right there you need to cut it out for good.

Live Your Life to the Fullest:

From personal experience, if you don’t have a life at school, your relationship will have a good 0 chance to live. Join a club, sorority, sports team, or whatever your heart desires. Travel the world, make journeys with friends, and make stories to tell. This is the most important thing for yourself. If you are happy, your relationship will be happy. Don’t ever let anyone ever hold you back.

Be Rational:

You do not, by any means, want to be psycho, clingy, obsessive, or any of the above. That not only looks bad but takes a toll on your mental health. You always want to be on the same page. Make a compromise to talk throughout the day, and stay connected. Whenever the relationship has a little fall out, always stay positive, and always pick your battles wisely. Be rational in every situation. Make sure to use mind over emotion, which we all know tends to be very hard.
