Having a Man in College

Let me start out by saying I'm a Senior in College and have had a boyfriend for over 3 years. So, yes I have had a boyfriend all through college. I say that as a forewarning that I might be a little bias. But here goes my honest opinion.

I don't think having a boyfriend in college makes any difference. 

(not what you were expecting huh?) I think your attitude toward having a boyfriend is what will change your college career. Now, there are multiple ways to look at having a boyfriend in college.

Story time: I was a girl who had boyfriends all through high school, one I dated for a long time others I dated for a short time because I did that long time thing and didn't want that! Well then at my senior prom things changed. I know you're probably expecting some great story about how I was alone at prom, and he swept me off my feet and blah blah blah. Well, nope he was my best friend (or should I say old Best friends prom date). Now before you judge me, they were only friends and there is A LOT more to that story for you to understand. Anywho, me and him both moved to College Station to start our college career at Blinn to eventually get accepted to A&M (which we both are fightin' Texas Aggies now, WHOOP). I, as a typical freshman girl, moved myself into a private dorm in an all girls hall. After all that's where you make your friends in college right? Correct, I have lived with the girls in my hall all 3 years I have been in school and they will all stay my best friends. Anyway there are a lot of moments I look back on and think how much fun we had and all the things we did and yada yada yada, but then I see really fun looking pictures that I'm not in, and then another, and then another. And that's when I realized it. I actually spent the majority of my time at my boyfriends apartment....My hall was an all girls hall and only had a twin bed (get your mind out of the gutter). So, something I have realized is I missed out on a lot of great experiences with my friends not just because I had a boyfriend, but because I only spent my time with him.


Looking back at it now, knowing we're going to get married I feel stupid. I have my whole life to spend with him. So something every girl with a college boyfriend should is set a limit. Not a limit of time you can spend with him, but a limit of being gone from your friends. Your friend relationship is JUST as important as your boyfriend and yours. So starting with me living in the sorority house i don't want to be gone all the time, SO I promise myself i will only spend the night out once during the week and one night of the weekend. This way I am getting the full experience with my sister, and living in the sorority house!!

Hope this helped new freshman!

Always,
Jordan
