The truth about having a real relationship in college
College is the first time we get to be truly (almost) independent — deciding whether to go to class or hit snooze, doing laundry, buying toiletries, etc. College can also be the time to find yourself, find your people, set values for yourself and learn what you value in a relationship. While this newfound freedom is exciting, the transition can be tough. Juggling a romantic relationship with everything else going on can add a tremendous amount of stress to an already stressful situation, but the key to almost everything in college is balance.
