School relationships, is it worth it?

School relationships, is it worth it?
Posted By: Brahim Epps on June 13, 2005


For some time now i have believed that, i shouldnt get into any relationships while i am in school! Nevertheless i feel that i could be potentially loosing out on vital experiences and so forth. I dont believe that I myself should get into a relationship because I just want to focus on school right now so that I can provide for my family down the road... What do you think?

You can have a relationship and still focus on school. You just have to know how to balance it. You will have to give up time with your loved one for important homework, but in the end, she'll appreciate that when you're putting that money on the table.

I think some school relationships turn into marraiges, so don't miss out!

I agree with everyone else. You may regret that you didn't at least try. If a relationship is meant to be it will be. Just don't let the relationship become so over bearing that you loose focus of your goals and your purpose for receiving an education. If it is God's will it will be done.

Sup man, I feel your motives and reasoning for not wanting a relationship while in school. I say as your undergrad years wind down, start lookin for that girl or woman. I think u can still balance the girl and school too. As long as she's not trying to prevent you from achieving what u went to school for. -=Fresh=-

Sup Tall,
I feel ya. I am kinda leery about getting into a relationship esp. since this will be my real 1st year. But I am trying to be optimistic about relationships because I know college is the place where most people find themselves. All I know is that it will be hard for me to not get into a serious relationship because I am too trusting and too caring or so I have been told. Plus I know I have to focus on school but I think I can balance it out evenly. Just as long as your focused on what you came to school to do u should be good. KuntriGurl
