Is it worth it? Let me work it

Although Valentine’s Day was a while ago, in college some people will always spend time with their S.O and others will be spending time with their textbooks. I always thought when I was in high school that I'd wait for a relationship until college, and I know a lot of other high school students have the same thoughts I did. Now that I'm here, I wondered what all the hype was about and I just concluded that, that's not something I want right now. Since I know what I want, I wondered what other people thought about when it came to being in a relationship in college and is it honestly worth it. Here are different opinions on people from colleges around the country and how they feel about dating in college. Is dating in college worth it or not?

Wayne State University

Freshman

Male

"Definitely, because you might find the love of your life. You never know, it's a lot more serious than high school so it's worth it."

Macomb Community College

Freshman

Female

"It depends on the situation. It's worth it if y'all go to the same college but if y'all in two different states, I would give it up. It really depends on the situation. If you're in college and you feel like a relationship isn't for you then don't do it. But if you and your partner think y'all can do it, by all means go for it."

Alabama A&M University

Junior

Male

"Although being in a college relationship can be a lot at times. It comes with a lot of good things. You have someone you can share beautiful memories with and a person that's there for you through the problems you face throughout the years you live on a college campus. Often times in college you find your soulmate or lifelong sweetheart!"

University of Chicago

Junior

Female

"I think it *can* be worth it. I personally really enjoyed being in a relationship and I was cuffed for my first two years. But I don't think it's necessarily worth fighting hella hard for at this point in our lives. There's going to be day to day shit but the moment it feels like a lot of work, I think it's best to end it. I did long distance so I feel like that magnifies everything."

Wayne State University

Sophomore

Male

"I guess it depends if you can find a genuine loyal person that actually wants the best for you and will help you succeed, then yeah. But most relationships are trash and wastes of time so I would say no."

University of Michigan

Sophomore

Female

"I would say it really depends on the person and the type of relationship, In order for a relationship to prosper, you have to trust and that's where long distance relationships struggle. I feel like you have to have the right mentality, like you have to want to be in a relationship and love that other person you know because relationships aren't easy. There will be times where your partner might have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to show you attention and y'all gotta be okay with that. It's agreements that have to be made and non negotiable. So I think that it's worth it if you really want it."

Wayne State University

Sophomore

Female

"So I think if you really feel like you want to be with a person and you really do want to spend your life with them then yes it's worth it. If they make you happy and isn't a distraction but still a priority then I feel like it's worth it but if it's a toxic relationship or you're just in the relationship just to be in one then no because it's not worth it. And I say that because college is stressful as it is, there's no need for extra stress from someone who doesn't have to be in your life."

North Carolina A&T University

Freshman

Female

"No it's not worth it, we all have so much to learn and we have so much growing to do. It's too much pressure to be trying to keep up with the difficulties of being in a relationship and trying to figure out who you are."

Central Michigan University

Junior

Female

"Absolutely- college is all about reinventing and finding yourself, right? Well people often find great happiness or great pain in relationships, so being in one while everything else is working itself out makes as much sense as figuring out your major and your ambitions."

Wayne State University

Freshman

Female

"Hell no."

Central Michigan University

Freshman

Female

" Yes, college is where you learn to find yourself." Now if it's toxic and you're worried about the other person more than your studies then it's a problem."

Central Michigan University

Freshman

Female

"Yes and no. Yes only if it's someone you like. For example an athlete or a really cute person. No because it could be a hassle to keep the relationship thriving."

Central Michigan University

Freshman

Female

"It's very convenient for you to get d**k, it's convenient for a woman to get access when they want to and most people find their soulmates in college."

Benedict College

Freshman

Female

"I mean it's okay to date but like don't tie yourself down, what's meant to be will be."
