I remember coming home for Winter Break my freshman year and being bombarded with questions from my family. If it wasn’t, “Why are you still single?,” it was, “When are you going to bring your boyfriend home?”

College opens the door for new opportunities like joining clubs, getting internships and, my personal favorite, studying abroad.

You’re walking with your girls through Midtown, choosing where to go. Shuck and 101 Cantina look too crowded. You finally choose to go to Grog House Bar & Grill. Inside you start dancing and having a blast with your friends when suddenly you see him. He’s looking straight at you, and walking your way. Do you want to dance with this guy? Is he creepy or smooth? Will this be a bad decision later?

You’re scrolling through your Facebook timeline. Someone posts a funny picture of a friend, and another posts a recipe for how to make brownies. Finally you see them -- that dreaded, five-paragraph long post about how much your friend loves his girlfriend or the 18-picture Instagram collage that shows how great the past five months have been with her new love. Suddenly, social media doesn’t seem like much fun anymore.

As I walked on campus to my friend’s house in my Halloween costume last week, I couldn’t contain my excitement. This was the first year I chose to go out with friends on Halloween in Gainesville, and I knew it was going to be a lot of fun.

Halloween allows us to take ourselves out of the struggles of midterms and parking tickets, and puts us in a place we wouldn’t experience otherwise. But sometimes couples take this “new place” too far. Here are the costumes we hope to save our eyes from at Midtown on Friday:

Whenever I have a problem with my boyfriend (again, lol), I always go to my friends for advice.

It’s Friday night, and you’re getting ready for your date. You sit on your bed with five different shirts around you, two pairs of pants on the floor and more shoes than you can count are all over the room.

As I sit in my newly replaced pleather chair at Library West and look around, I can’t help but notice the dozens of couples around me.

College is a time to explore relationships and the kind of people we want to share them with. It’s also a time to figure out what you want, and sometimes committing can be more than your “better half” has to offer.

This summer I wrote a blog about cheap and creative dates in Gainesville. I figured this would be a good topic to revisit since we’re already four weeks into class and our financial aid is probably gone. Here it is guys (and gals), creative dates that won’t destroy your wallet:

In today’s dating culture, common practice is to talk (usually text) someone for a few days, or even weeks, before you even start going on actual dates.

When we care about something, we grow a special attachment to it. Sometimes it’s your dog, and that moment when he chooses to go to someone else instead of you eats you alive. Other times, it’s your boyfriend, and when you catch his eye wandering toward the freshman at 101 Cantina, you’re ready to pounce.

Now that school is back in session you and your boo are back in the same town. This could mean a lot of things, like late night dates to Paynes Prairie or in-between-class lunches. It could also mean losing focus on what we’re all here for, school, and facing the consequences later.

When you meet your high school sweetheart, it seems like nothing in the world could possibly go wrong; your head’s in the clouds and you’re never more than 10 feet away from your significant other during your free time. Life is perfect, that is, until you go to college. A lot of high school couples experience the awkward, “Okay so I got into UF and you got into FSU (are you sure he’s a keeper?) phase, and have no idea what to do. Almost always, they choose to break up without even thinking twice. Many people think that long distance relationships don’t work, but I’m here to tell you that they do if you take the right steps to make it that way.

I would assume that most college students know the struggle of being broke. Between feeding ourselves and that dreaded monthly rent, we’re left over with hardly any money to have a social life (thank gosh for lady’s nights, am I right girls?). For some, this can put a damper on their dating life, but for others, it just means learning how to be creative. Luckily for you, I’m here to give you a few suggestions.

We all dread the words, “We need to talk.” It’s the universal code for, “Hey this just really isn’t working out, maybe it’s better off if we’re friends.” Unfortunately, break ups are a part of life and sometimes we wait too long to have the conversation. We’ll search for that right time to do it, or wait our partner messes up so our reasoning is even better. The reality is though; it’s never going to get easier. You just have to recognize when it’s time to call it quits, and do it.

The name of this blog is called “Swamp of Love” so naturally most of you will assume that my articles will be about falling in love, or how to keep your relationship spicy (as if, I’m about as spicy as a bowl of sautéed spinach). Here’s a game changer: This week, I’m going to tell you why being in a relationship isn’t always the best situation, especially while you’re in college.

Unfortunately, those of us that are young and in college have the mentality that just like in the fairy tales, our soul mate is going to appear out of thin air and sweep us off our feet. Well, I’m here to tell you that life in fact is not a fairy tale, and your soul mate is just as hopeful as you are.
