Or...
When we think of college life and connect aspects of it with the word "serious"... what can you come up with? Schoolwork, scheduling, maybe organization or even sleep time... but what about connecting college life with a "serious relationship"? Some people say never get too serious with someone in college, its your time to be selfish to find you, yet others have told me they met their soul mates in the 4 years that they attended a University. My question to you is what exactly is "serious" or "too serious" or maybe "not serious enough...". Do we really need the added pressure? I interviewed some QU students on their perspective of a serious college relationship - Seriously, what is serious?
( Interviewer would like to remain anonymous...)
Q: When you hear the word "college" what are the first 5 words that come to mind?
A: Party, Friends, Roomates, A Degree, Beer
Q: Of those words of which would you define it with the word "serious"?
A: Honestly... only the degree, I also take my friendships seriously but I wouldn't define them as "serious".
Q: Do you have a boyfriend?
A: Not at the moment, I did, he was a nice guy but when I left for college we decided to go our seperate wats we thought it was only fair for us to experience college life to the fullest.
Q: What do you mean "to the fullest"?
A: I mean the whole college experience without any ties at home, when you have one foot in the door and one foot out someone usually gets hurt and who wants to get hurt? I sure don't...
Q: Do you feel a serious relationship in college is pointless?
A: I don't like the word "pointless" I do think there is a point to everything. But do I think flings are more likely? Absolutely. A lot of the time one person gets more serious then the other, due to fear or whatever, and when that happens the "serious relationship" turns into a horror movie with a very unhappy ending.
Q: How "serious" do you think a relationship should get during the "college stage" of a persons life?
A: That word makes me laugh actually. Some girls I know would consider a drunken Saturday night make-out sesh, "serious" where as other people consider that a joke, and frankly half of them, don't even remember the "true love" kiss that happened on a blacked out toads night. I say stay away from the seriousness until you get the college thing out of your system. Who wants to be tied down during the only true free time in your life. Its up to the person though. Some people have serious personalities. If you do find "true love" thats great! Hang on to it! But these college years fly by in the blink of an eye, I'm just saying take advantage of it - however you see fit.
Q: If you do get your heartbroken from a college "love" whats your advice on moving on?
A: Listen to Mariah Carey's Heartbreaker - makes me smile everytime...
Well, you heard it from one of your very own classmates. I guess her definition serious is a little too unserious for a college relationship...and for any of you who have had your heartbroken - here's a little Mariah to help you out... Enjoy!
