You are few months into
your freshman year of University, and a certain campus chick has raised your
eyebrows in a lecture room. But you have never had a campus relationship, and
you are aware it`s totally different than high school. There isn`t a Shockie/Migingo dance for you to
incorporate your move, and you don`t spend a full lecture day under the same
roof with her five days a week. Therefore, how do you begin a campus
relationship? What should you expect? And how do students make it work? Here
are the shocking tales from Maseno student couples:
You’ll have more to
learn about each other
Maseno University is a
paradise different than high school in that the individuals you interact with
won`t care enough to know about your past.
You probably haven’t come across your “new catch” parents yet, and you
care enough not to bother who her buddies are from home. “It was tough for me
to believe that my girlfriend had ‘a different life’ at home,” says Vaughans
Odongo, a fourth-year French student. “I admired to be part of it, and
eventually I was, but it was initially difficult to hear concerning issues from
all these individuals and things I had no knowledge about.”
You can have sleepovers
together
For most cuties in high
school, it probably would have been difficult to have a sleepover with her boyfriend.
Now that you are in campus, you can enjoy a sleepover with your dude as many
nights as you wish! There aren`t any parents or guardians to restrict you, and
interestingly, no one is checking in on you at night. “My partner and I have
sleepovers a few times a week,” says Vester from Maseno University. “It is not
a big deal in campus, and I love being able to meet her at the end of the day.”

You might have to change
your relationship long-distance
Most likely, your new
catch isn`t from your hometown and so during summers and school holidays you
will have to shift to long-distance. However, the toughest periods will be
during long holidays; this is the challenging time since campus couples have to
spend the breaks without their partners. Therefore, it forces them to organize
trips to visit each other at least to compensate the time apart more
manageable.
You’ll have to compromise
In campus, you probably
have to take turns paying for dates or shift off visiting each other`s rooms.
However, you have to be careful with this trick because parasitic ladies who
aren`t willing to share can quickly dump you and fall prey for the “thirsty
sponsors.” Therefore, it takes a while getting used to it, but it’s advisable
to be there for each other.
In order to maximize
your campus relationship experience, here are some practical tricks and tips:
·Be open minded to new
ideas; there are a lot of opportunities to try new stuff and push yourself out
there in campus. It will be a unique way to connect with guys and relate with
your new lover.
·Remain grounded; don`t
allow your new partner to interfere with your university experience.
·Keep records of the
past; organize memories and photos handy to share with your new partner, she
can feel connected to who you were before campus.
·Create your own
memories together; do interesting stuff that you can only enjoy in university
like utilize the whole night together studying in the library, or play hooky
from class in.
Every relationship you will get into will be different than the one you had initially, regardless of whether it was enjoyable or abusive. What you have to put in mind is that despite the difference, there are unique things that are vital in every relationship including, commitment, compatibility, honesty, and trust. Meet a partner who will share your values, and you won`t have to make a significant difference from high school to college. Develop and learn together-but above all remember to have fun, collegiates!
