<p>My physics teacher said something about these two people had great magnitudes of gravitational attraction towards each other haha.</p>
<p>
Your mom has a great magnitude of gravitational attraction toward me.</p>
<p>no, aint nobody got time for that</p>
<p>Can’t even imagine how much worse my grades would be if I had relationships here and there haha.</p>
<p>This thread got way to out of hand from what I think it was supposed to be</p>
<p>I am in a long distance relationship… with my fridge. </p>
<p>Nope, never had a relationship. I get pretty tired of seeing all these “if I had a man,” “the perfect guy,” or any relationship post on Twitter.</p>
<p>I am in a relationship, and am a high school junior. We have been together for 10 months, and it has definitely taken a toll on my school work. I’m not getting any worse grades than before, but it’s just a struggle to keep up with school. I don’t know how to ask for a break either, so…yeah.</p>
<p>I’m in a relationship as of about a year and a half now…since he is in college and I am deciding as of now, it’s making me slightly biased towards colleges where he is near. Which is bad.</p>
<p>lol @collegeconfidential</p>
<p>
This.
If I dated anybody they’d have to be someone who pulled me up and understood all the stuff I have going on, not someone who took away from school/work/ec’s/the little free time I do get. I guess a normal cutesy relationship wouldn’t work out for me. The guys who make this list are either actively competing with me, or are already my friends, so what’s the need for a boyfriend? Anyway, there’s always college :)</p>
<p>For those of you saying “there’s always college” do you really think there’s going to be any more free time in college than there was in high school?</p>
<p>^ I don’t think that’s the point. I think the point is that there will be new people in college and more people looking for a mature serious, relationship. Plus, after graduating from college, a couple isn’t necessarily split apart like most would be after graduating from high school, so there’s not that same fear of commitment.</p>
<p>Also, in college you have less actual CLASS time, so you have more control over your schedule. Sure, there is more work, but you can schedule it more to your liking. In high school, you’re there for 8 hours a day and then you come home with hours of homework due the next day. You don’t really have as much choice when you’re going to do it or as much free time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>LOL. </p>
<p>Nah, not really. Sure, they exist, but it’s not really as many as you’d think. </p>
<p>As for schedules- yes, you have more control. However, you also (generally) have more work and more people work. Most people who are super busy in high school go on to be super busy in college. It’s just how their personalities work.</p>
<p>I just think many people just have this unrealistic view of what college is. They’re so focused on “getting accepted” that they don’t actually think about what it’s going to be like for the four-ish years you’re there. I really wish I had focused more on fun and friendships in high school.</p>
<p>I started caring about academics back in elementary school primarily because I was socially inept and school gave me something to do. It’s not entirely a choice whether you focus more on friends or on academics…people tend to do what they’re good at. When you’re shy, pretty much anything is more fun than trying to be social.</p>
<p>I am in a very serious relationship…with food.</p>
<p>I haven’t had a serious relationship for like a year. And I’m still into her, even though I’m kinda the one that ended it. We are best friends now but sometimes I’m so upset about not having her. But then again, there are so many differences between us that we are better off as friends, and I don’t want anything serious right before college, just some fun. But idk how to do that and idk how to get her out of my head…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I never said they dominated in college. But, it is true that in college, there are more people looking for that than in high school. However, I am aware of college hookup culture.</p>
<p>And it’s also just being around new people. Starting over. Guys in my school don’t even notice me. I’m definitely not saying that once I leave school I have a tail of guys after me, but the few guys who have shown attraction toward me have been outside of my school (unless you count 7th grade). </p>
<p>It’s not like I have the option in my school to be super popular and make a bunch of friends. I mean, I’ve tried and it’s not like people dislike me. They just have their group of friends and never really seem to show the same interest in becoming a close friend with me. I’m just kind of there for the “fun times” in school. Most of my friendships don’t have great depth, and I’ve tried so hard many times before and gotten hurt that I’ve just decided on waiting until college to start again. I mean, I have friends that I chill with in school, but… Meh… Whatever. I’ll end this rant.</p>
<p>y’all underestimate the hookup culture. college relationships occur don’t occur as high schoolers perceive them to; many exist in binaries of pure hookup weekend type or extremely serious things. but that’s my school. I hear the binary is less severe in colleges in cities/public universities due to more activities to do other than drink all weekend 
the supposedly intellectual small LAC lifestyle in the mid of nowhere ironically almost necessitates the hookup culture for social interactions on the weekends. and to those who posit the reason that high school relationships will inevitably end so why bother are deluded. so what if it ends? they just haven’t found the person that will make it worthwhile and outweigh the pain. but how do you find this person without trying? c’mon</p>
