Relationship Deal Breakers From Around College Park

It’s no secret that college dating is weird, to say the least. College dating is completely different from real world dating, existing in its own little bubble where almost anything goes. A lot goes into determining the boundaries of a college relationship. There's a multitude of questions to consider:

Are we just hooking up? Was it a one night stand?

Are we dating and not exclusive? Are we dating and exclusive?

Are we an official couple?

Was eating Chick-Fil-A between classes a date?

However you define your college hook-up status, sometimes it’s pretty obvious that things just aren’t going to work out in the long run. It’s all fun and games, until the guy who bought you a drink at Bentley's tries to borderline consummate the relationship near the outdoor port-o-potties.

We all have things that are total deal breakers. Here are a few things that turn off our fellow Terps.

Zack, 20, wants a girl who is “somewhat independent” and not needy.


When he “talks about himself too much, and forgets things I tell him or that we talk about.” – Ashley, 20

“Any type of artist ever…English major, philosophy major, musician, film, painter, etc."

–Mattie, 19

“When they aren’t circumcised.” – Sam, 20

"Long nails." -- Victoria, 21

"Having no goals in life." - Hyunjae, 20

If she has "a terrible laugh." - Miller, 20

If he “is a picky eater.” – Jill, 20

“When the person steals the blanket/covers mid sleep.” – Austin, 21

“She can’t smoke. Smoking is disgusting.” – Brian, 20. Sage, 20, agrees.

“Bad sex is def a deal breaker. And bad breath… also a deal breaker” – Ittie, 21

“When they are dumb.” – Kevin, 20

“When you come second to anything, especially drinking or partying.” – Lauren, 20

“Poor eating habits and healthy hygiene is a breaker… I’m a germaphobe, so I try to look for a person who wants to eat healthy and keep clean.” – Eli, 20

“When they fart in front of you.” – Olivia, 20

"Having a weird hairline.” – Katherine, 19

"When someone turns into an asshole." - Jillian, 20

"If I ever have to meet her parents, at any point in my life." - Benji, 23

"When they lack respect for your family." - Mary, 20

"Frizzy hair." - Chris, 20


So, there you have it. A comprehensive list of things to avoid doing or being if you ever want to have a relationship with someone on the University of Maryland's campus. OK, just kidding, this is far from comprehensive -- but it's at least a few things to consider next time your hookup tries taking things to the next level.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
