Summer is here and many of us are going off to college. Several of us have a significant other. This is a person we have no idea what to do with when we begin the next chapter of our lives.

There are three main situations:
1. Let’s stay together although we are apart (Kiss Me Thru the Phone Pt. 1)
2. You want to split but don’t know how to break it to your partner. (Climax Pt. 2)
3. Let’s go apart although we want to stay together (No Air Pt. 3)
    
     To save reading time, I split the situations into parts and incorporated a video that corresponds with each. Read the one that pertains to you or read all three. Pt. 2 coming soon!

2. You want to split but don’t know how to break it to your partner.

     Now this is one that will get you in trouble. College provides opportunities to meet new people. You want to take advantage of these opportunities but your partner still means something to you. You know how your partner feels about you and you know that he/she wants to stay committed. What do you do?
     Individuals that find themselves in this situation must realize that if they have reached their climax in the relationship , their relationship will not work. If there is even a speck of this sort of feeling within you, then you have provided the opportunity for infidelity (cheating) to seep in and destroy a good thing. You think you are saving your partner the heartbreak when in reality; you are lying, deceiving, and creating a truly unfixable dent in your relationship. Also, even if you do not realize it, your body language will tell your partner that you don’t want to be with him/her. 
     Solution? Sit down with your partner and discuss your concerns. I know that “talking it out” sounds cliché but if really does help. You may discover that he/she feels the same way. If not, at least you are not lying. And if after your discussion, your partner decides that this is absolutely unacceptable. He or she is completely in love and does not want to even entertain the idea of going separate ways during college…. change your number, and delete your facebook AND RUN :) .  If your partner cannot maturely accept your decision to split….then SPLIT!

1. Let's Stay Together Although We Are Apart.

     This is a situation many people find themselves in after being in a relationship with someone for a really long time. Once you grow to love someone, you think your love can survive the distance. For example, a tweet from @iBoyFriendTips
 


 

 

 

Sounds all good written out like that.

But another tweet caught my attention by @Jiggz4ThaLOGO










that moment you finally see each other...”
     For some people, that moment is very far off. One hour away is one thing but 14 hours away is another. When it comes to this situation, you have to gauge how significant of an impact the distance will have on your ability to see one another.

Wiz Khalifa has something to say too



    



That is true too. But communication becomes that much more difficult with distance. Not to say it is impossible, I do believe in the concept of “out of sight out of mind.” People also always bring up the old saying “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” I believe it should be modified to “Distance makes the heart grow fonder….of someone else.” But then again, that’s just me. 
     I say this to say, it doesn’t hurt to try, but be warned, freshman year provides several temptations. I recommend saving the heart break, focussing on school, and seeing where you stand after first semester.

     When it comes to love, girls stop being thirsty. The flaw is that too many ladies are thirsty. It's okay when a guy is thirsty. They are suppose to drool over us. They are suppose to want us! We just shake our heads at them, laugh, and ignore. But it's a problem when ladies are thirsty. When do you know you are thirsty? You are thirsty when you post on facebook, twitter, and wherever else that you want a boyfriend. You are thirsty when you let the world know you are desperate for affection. If you aren't dating a guy and you already sound like Rihanna in "You da one" then you are thirsAnd once a guy realizes you are thirsty, they have the upper hand. They don’t deserve the upper hand, at least not yet.
     My advice? Wait. Wait for the guy that will show you that you are worth it. Wait for the guy who wants you for you. There are two types of girls. Girls who have many options and girls who have very limited options. Either way, waiting is the answer. If you are one of those ladies that has options, don’t settle. Wait for the guy that reaches your standards. At the same time, don’t overlook the guy who may not fit your ideal physical match because the way he feels for you may be exactly what you need in your life. You may be the baddest girl in town, but the most handsome guy may not be able provide the attention you need. The richest guy may not be able to provide the compassion you need. However, a okay looking guy could be the one that meets all your needs. Which do you value more?
     On the other hand, if you are a lady who feels your options are very limited. Don’t go for the first guy who tells you that you are pretty. Guys have a “secret code.” With observation, it’s not hard to crack. Many are simple minded. If a guy tells you “I’m not like other guys” approach with caution, because he is probably like all the other guys who said they weren’t like other guys too.  If he starts talking about past relationships, he’s just trying to get you to open up about your sex life. If he asks to play “21 questions”….he does not know how to properly learn about you #immature. Or….the guy really may not be like other guys, he may really want to open up about his ex’s, and he may sincerely be interested in your life. But this is rare. It is so sad to say I’ve heard and fallen for ALLLLL of these situations. No real damage done, but at the same time, I realized the codes early and did not get further involved with any of the guys.
     I have been single my entire high school career. I have talked to plenty, but I cannot say I have let myself be vulnerable enough to “fall.” For the longest, I thought this was a flaw. I realize now that my priorities are much different from many girls my age, and that fact attributes to much of my success. The way I see it, college will provide so many opportunities for dating and relationships. Right now, my focus continues to be school, and if a good guy happens to cross my path along the road, cool. The difference is that I am not searching, I am not eager, nor am I thirsty.
     A good guy will treasure you. Every aspect of you. And most important, he will find you. Listen to this poem. Accept the guy who values you. He may even be a “nerd” but those smart ones tend to know what’s up <3.

 
     LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! If you love, like, or have a crush on someone, now is the time to let him or her know! There is nothing like the holidays to bring people together. The temperature drops and cuddling becomes so much more convenient on dates. Everyone knows it is “snakin' season.” For those of you who don’t know what that means, it means when your girl or guy gets taken from you by someone else. So do not let the one you want get “snaked” from you. Start “snakin” yourself.
     Why is this on my mind right now? Well it is because getting over someone you never had is the worst. Sitting in your room thinking about someone you are not sure is thinking about you is pitiful. Watching the person you want cuddling with someone else is gut wrenching. Never knowing if you could have made it with the guy or girl of your dreams is demoralizing.
      I am the epitome of a hypocrite when it comes to this. Fear of rejection always plays a huge role in deciding to “snake” or not. But that fear of rejection could be the very thing stopping you from meeting the one who could change things forever. I realize that now, and despite that truth, I still have some work to do. But nevertheless, the first step is admitting you have that fear. I’m making progress. What about you?
      Do not get me wrong. The point of this entry is not to encourage you to “snake” your best friend’s guy or girl. It is to remind you that the one you want is not just going to wait around forever. If you like someone let him or her know, and do it before it is too late. And if you have someone, remind him or her how you feel to ensure your loved one doesn’t get “snaked.”

Am I right or wrong? Comment below.

      I HATE THIS WORD! Maybe because I do not know what it means. Well I know what it means to me, but I am guessing I am the only one who thinks it simply means….talking. This is my way to establish, finally, what the word means. 
     “Talking” is when you are interested in a guy and he is interested in you so you establish a mutual “deeper than just friends” relationship. While this relationship is deeper than friends , it’s not as deep as boyfriend and girlfriend. This is another word for dating. Going to the movies and going out to eat are things you do when you are “talking” to or dating someone.
      The big question is, can you talk to more than one person at a time? My answer is ABSOLUTELY. If you are just “talking” to someone and you have yet to establish titles then you are free to do as you please. If you are just “talking” you obviously do not feel strong enough to put a label on your relationship so you should not be tied down. When your partner feels that they no longer want to “talk” to anyone else but you, and you feel the same, you become boyfriend and girlfriend. My main issue is when people try to substitute talking for boyfriend or girlfriend. Like when I am asked “Is that your boyfriend?” and I say “no we are just talking” Or better yet if I ask a guy if he has a girlfriend and he says “no but I’m talking to this girl.” That is where the distinction comes from. It is two different things!
      So do not get it confused. If you want to establish a relationship and not be left unsure of where you stand in it, be clear of when your relationship develops from just talking to actually being boyfriend and girlfriend. If you are ever unsure of your status with a girl or guy just ask. Unanswered question lead to awkward relations. Awkward relations end with hurt feelings. Avoid it all together by “talking” it out ;).

 
     I laugh the people who think they can spark a relationship via twitter and facebook, specifically those people who live miles away from each other. If a long distance relationship typically doesn’t work, what makes you think an internet one will! Those “hey you got a boyfriend?” messages and those “oomf need to holla at me” tweets are laughable. Why do you feel the need to ask me if I have a boyfriend? You live in Wisconsin. And why would I “holla” and I’m on the internet?....you can’t hear me.
     In all seriousness, social relationships are a complete waste of time. It’s simply a way for a seemingly attractive girl or guy to lock you down, cheat on you, and hide the evidence. I say seemingly attractive because we have all seen it, a girl or guy who looks ten times better on facebook than he or she does on twitter. Beware of those.
      This is not to say all hope is lost when you find someone with common interest as you via twitter or facebook. If he or she is relatively close to the city you live in and you are able to meet the person and decide for yourself, then go for it. That way, the relationship is not strictly virtual. Other than that, get over it and move on. There are many more attractive people where they came from…except you will actually be able to have dinner with them….in person, not via skype or oovoo. :)

If not, be best friends. Strangers are always the easiest to tell your life story to. But never disclose too much. Always act with caution while on the internet. It can really be a dangerous place.

 
      So now I'm up thinking about relationships. I hate when I like a guy and I tell my friend and she says, "he's not your type." What does that even mean?! And who are  you to say what my type is? I am probably the last person anyone can pin a "type" on. I find a qualities, in addition to lookseeper than how they looked, to admire. If you are like me, then you understand me when I say that I don't have a "type." 
     Everyone has a preference. Every girl has a certain list of qualities they deem perfect for their dream guy. Every guy has that certain list of perfect features for their dream girl. But when you try and put the word "type" to the this preference, it just does not flow. A "type" goes much deeper than looks. A type is a combination of both physical and personality attributes. And no, I do not know which combination suits me the best. So when someone asks me what's my "type" and I give them some cookie cutter response just know that my "type" is subject to change with each new guy because no one ever knows what combination they are going to receive.
