Three Reasons to Stay Single in College

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal State LA chapter.

Arriving to college as a freshman and or transfer is a special time in a youth’s life. This is the time when you discover who you want to be in life. Students are learning inside and outside the classroom about their life, career, goals, and relationships. During this time, students are navigating through their own love life, which is a whole other obstacle in itself. Is it worth it to be in a relationship in college? There are many other things you could be doing with your time! Here are three reasons to stay single in college:

 

  1. Opportunity to date!

Instead of being in a relationship that could end badly with your heart broken, you could use your time wisely in dating. Dating gives you the opportunity to decide for yourself what you like and don’t like in a significant other. Don’t waste your time with boys or girls that just want to play games. Knowing what you like crosses off the people that aren’t worth your energy. Think of the many food dates, adventures and fun times you’ll have!

  1. Focusing on your studies

You’re in college for a reason. Graduating from your university with the knowledge you earned and paid for to get that dream job will be satisfying! All those years you’ll spend studying, writing your essays, surviving midterms and finals will all be worth it when they call your name on graduation day! You’ll be walking on that stage in your gown and cap, waving at your family, throwing your diploma up in the air!

  1. Self Discovery

During all the moments of stress and happiness, struggles and accomplishments, you truly discovery yourself as a human being. The quality time spent for yourself is the time you truly understand you, mentally, emotionally and physically. The only priority in life is you.
