Lets start with being single. Although, if you are single you are not technically in a relationship but it still counts. Your choice to be single is just as important as a choice to be with someone. Being single means that you are not seeing anyone. You are free to date people and go out and mingle. A defiant pro of being single is the freedom. You are free to date or kiss who ever you please. A con of being single is being lonely sometimes. You don't have that boyfriend or girlfriend to come home to or call late at night. There is you and only you.
The hardest type of relationship has to be long distance. Long distance relationships range from being in separate cites to being states away. Any time you can not be with the one you love its hard. Some high school sweethearts stay together even after they go off to college. Its a big transition from seeing someone everyday to only seeing them about four times a year. Distance does make the heart grow fonder. Being away from the one you love can strengthen the bond between you both. Strong healthy relationships are always a pro. The obvious con is distance. Communication is limited to phone calls, text messages, facebook and web cams. Days when you need a hug from the one you love will have to wait until the next trip home. If any one can survive a long distance relationship the love is truly strong and worth holding on to.
Open Relationships
Description: An open- relationship means a lot of different things to different people. In most cases it means you are in a relationship with another person but both of you agreed to not be exclusive or completely committed. Basically it means you can see other people.
Pros: Since you’re in college you are surrounded by a lot of new people. You might want to get to know and spend some time with them. But when you’re in a relationship, spending a lot of time with other people can create problems. Being in an open-relationship can be an easy solution. You can hang out with whoever you like and at the end of the day you still have that special someone.
Cons: it’s important to remember that an open-relationship requires a lot of trust. If you can’t trust your partner you will end up fighting all the time, and questioning where they are or who they are with. (Especially if your partner lives back home) An open relationship can be very complicated; some might even consider it cheating. The best thing to do is to talk to your partner and establish what is and is not allowed. Another problem is if you ever decided to change from an open-relationship to a committed relationship, it might not be so easy.
In a relationship
Description: This simply means you are in a committed relationship with one other person, no one else.
Pros: Being a college student can sometimes be lonely. You might not know that many people or you might not have close friends. But being in a relationship means you always have someone to talk to and hang out with. You’ll have that special person to spend Friday nights with, you can watch movies and go out to eat. You won’t have to be alone.
Cons: You spend all your time with just that one person, which means you don’t spend time getting to know anyone new. You won’t make new friends that way. You may depend too much on your relationship and it could break. And what happens if the relationship doesn’t last? You haven’t bonded with anyone at school so you may feel even lonelier than before.
Your college experience can depend on what your relationship status is. But being single or in an open-relationship doesn’t guarantee you will have more fun than someone who is in a relationship. It all depends on the type of person you are. If you like being in a relationship, even long distance, go for it! It may require more work, but no one said college is easy.
