College relationships, revisted at least 230 times

For those who have been there, the term "college relationships" recall feelings of frustration, sadness, pain, guilt, exasperation, or whatever the hell you want to call it. I'm still a newbie at experiencing as well as observing others, but you can't deny you feel one or more of the following things:

*You want to break up because you're in college, aka the best four years of your life. time to experiment and not tie yourself down!

*You're dating an amazing person, but she's the marrying type. what about that experimentation!?

*I can't deal with the distance, I want them here.

*I can't deal with school AND a relationship

*Even if school and distance are not an issue, I don't want to try anymore. Let's move on. It's over.

*There has to be someone else out there for me

aaand last but not least:
*I still want to be with you.


Myself, personally? I've felt every single one of those, and I've been chilling with the last one for almost 2 and 1/2 years. Yes, I am one of those seemingly crazy people who has been in a relationship that has gone on forever (while in college). I am also one of those annoying ppl in school who will poke and prod you and ask what your answers are and how you deducted those answers, just to make sure we're on the same page. And that's why I'm writing this--because there are times i DON'T feel like I'm on the same page with everyone else, because I know there are other couples. Half of them can do this, and half of them can't, and it just brings me down because I hear too many cases of the half that CAN'T, which just increases statistics.

POO!
