Dating:
Matters Of The Heart
Rhodes
Scholar?
If
students spent as much time thinking, worrying
and focusing on their studies as much they
did on meeting and conquering members of
the opposite gender, then they would all
be Rhodes scholars. Perhaps this explains
why Bill Clinton became one.
Relationships:
Questions To Ask Yourself, Things To Look
Out For
Are
You Ready For A Relationship Or Do You Prefer
To Be Single?
The
first thing to ask yourself is whether you
wish to be in a relationship or play the
field. This is even more important when
you are in school and the faculty recruits
new faces.
Advantages
Of Relationships
The
main advantage of having a steady relationship
while in school is an obvious one: convenience.
It
may not sound so romantic, but you have
school to focus on, work to juggle and you
need something to take your mind off reality.
Relationships are a good escape because
you will not need to be as aggressive when
it comes to partying and going out. While
having a good time remains the number one
reason to party, meeting people of interest
usually follows suit.
Having
someone in life will help you balance school,
work and everything else. Your significant
other can serve as a source of comfort when
things get tough.
Disadvantages
Of Relationships
The disadvantages are clear and numerous.
For one, it is very hard to stay interested
in one person when you are going through
so many changes in your personal life. It
is nearly impossible to expect two people
in a relationship to evolve in the same
direction. Moreover, relationships need
to be managed and nurtured. This takes time
and precious resources. You will have enough
stress with school and work; do you really
need the extra hassle of a mate?
Furthermore,
the idea of having a mate going to the same
school is not so sexy. You may be cast in
uncomfortable settings and may need to call
a time out or take a breather.
Finally,
you will be tempted right and left. If your
significant other happens to go to the same
school, this will cause some problems. If
your mate goes to another school, then your
relationship may be on borrowed time.
Long
distance relationships are about as
impossible to succeed as your hardest exam.
