“Long Distance Relationships in College”. Does it sound scary or does it sound like a poorly delivered joke? Many people believe that long-distance relationships are the one thing you don't come across when you go to college. You choose your university, you choose your fraternity or sorority, you choose your classes, and you choose your major, but whatever you do you should never choose to be in a long-distance relationship when pursuing higher education. For many newly dubbed “adults,” college life involves a world full of partying, studying, meeting and experimenting (whatever that may entail). College is where both boys and girls have the chance to escape their hometowns and move into a new environment that they can call home for the next four years; a place full of students just like them, eager to meet new people. That said, in a scenario where a couple ends up attending different schools, is it simply inevitable that they are destined to break up? Shouldn't they even bother trying long distance? Do they say “See you ever” or “See you later”? Although thousands of people believe that long-distance college relationships are simply a prelude to a permanent breakup, there is no doubt that they can be successful and thrive. With no way to soften and soften this point, simply put, distance is a problem. senseless reason to instantly break up with a significant other. This is especially true for couples who are truly serious about their relationship. A military wife starts packing her bags and contacts a divorce lawyer when she finds out her husband has been called overseas? At all. Of course, college couples aren't necessary... middle of paper... to thrive big time. Perfectly said, if terribly clichéd, distance really means so little when someone means so much.
