Courting In College: Tips On How To Balance Love While Learning

Don’t Date People Within Your Major or Board of Study

Besides the fact that they will be your competition for jobs once you graduate, like the first tip, you want to date someone who can give you a different perspective on life.

Sure you would think it would be cute doing homework and studying together, but you don’t want to lose your identity within a relationship.

One thing that scared me during one of my earlier relationships in college was that my boyfriend at the time wanted to switch his major to Journalism (which is my major). He was a great writer, but I was afraid he wanted to switch for the wrong reasons.  Granted he never ended up changing his major.

So part two of this tip, if your boo thang wants to switch to your major, talk it over with them. Make sure they’re doing it for the right reasons. Most likely they’re just confused and probably want to spend more time with you.

Plus dating another journalist would be hectic; we would never have time for each other.
