I wish someone had told me “NO! Bad freshman! No relationships for you!”

Yes, it’s a cruel thing to say, because when everything around you is new and scary, all you want is for someone to hold you and care about you.

But freshman year is the perfect time to be your own person without having a relationship influence you. Prove that you can take care of yourself, all by yourself.

Personally, I came out of freshman year a bit emotionally traumatized because I couldn’t just leave well enough alone. First it was the senior Drew, then it was the delectable hottie Hunter, and then I had to go chase Andy, and I finally wrapped up the year with a bizzare episode of Paul.

That’s way too many endeavors for just 8 months! And that’s what happens when you go into freshman year looking for somebody. You start looping through endless two-month relationships. IT SUCKS.

Sophomore year you have a much better chance of getting lucky

Speaking of getting lucky….if you do decide you need a boyfriend during freshman year, please, please, please, WAIT before having sex.

Sex creates a very mysterious bond….mysterious in the sense that it’s hard to understand how closely it attaches two people. That is, until you break up. Then it’s kind of like having all of your essential organs ripped out and piled in a heap in front of you.

Unfortunately, college is a very turbulent (and exciting!) time in everybody’s life, and people break up A LOT. Consider carefully if the baggage that sex causes is worth it.

Now, if you want to become a hoochie-mama and sleep with all the guys on campus, go ahead. Sex will totally lose that bonding effect for you. However, when you finally do meet that special guy, I think you might find creating a unique bond will have become more difficult.

And um…use a condom.
