girl education is everything... if its love he'll understand, he'll push you towards school. I am in the same place as you, however, my boo understands that i am tryin to get an education for the both of us. and if he can not see that, than it aint meant to be... think for self, if its real love he'll be back or standing by your side till you gradurate.. think about self... and if a future with you attending school is not in ya'll relationship than love is not there. sorry but education comes first and you have to understand that... alright

I have to see my black sistas doin good... and education is the start of it

I would say go on with your educatin because it's not a gamble worth taking hoping that the relationship works. Things happen people change but the one thing that will benefit you for sure is your education. If it's meant to be the relationship with work around your education not the other way around.What seems so hard is really so simple, im praying for you that you will make the right descision.

I see a lot of girls have answered your blog, so I'mon hold it down for the BRUHS and answer your question........................>>>>..........>>>>HELL NO, words of a wise man, "Gotta go! Gotta go!" But on the real though, trust me, I missed out on a blessing by staying behind for a young lady who I'm no longer with and we had been close together for 4 years beforehand. Of course, everything was cool when I decided to stay with her, but it all went sour eventually and I was left out in the cold and wasn't where I needed to be. In fact, I'm still not there... I'm at A&M. I went there but it was much harder. He'll always be there. Fisk won't. But he will. And if not HE JUST WASN'T MEANT TO BE. Maybe the one for you is at Fisk, who knows? Plus, you're young and need to experience as much as you can. If Ol' Buddy can't understand that... he's not doing nothing but depriving you of the rest of your life, sweetheart.

And this is advice from a DUDE... the Incredible Heteros*xual!!!

No.Girl you should go have fun and enjoy life, if he really care for you he will be ok but don't let anyone hold you back.I understand where you coming from my friend is a grade lower than me and I will be off to college this fall, but I plan on going to CAU and we have been close for about 2yrs and some months.

Naw don't do that you really shouldn't even have a boyfriend when you leave for college it's best just to be friends I know to many people that made that mistake. You gotta do whats best for you and dont eva eva eva eva let someone hold you back from persuing your dream and what you need to do to make it happen.
