Campus relationships are a great source of frustration

Campus relationships are not a new phenomenon to many. They date back in the days when apart from academic purposes the crème de la crème of the society took their time for soul searching to get the right partner to live their happy ever after. As time progresses and change takes effect, however, these relationships have taken a turn for the worst, like cancer they are malignant and spreading outrageously fast infecting young and frail souls leaving them totally drained all in the name of having a “normal life.” Thirst for knowledge in campus gets mixed up when new faces get to meet leading to highly heated relationships which twists the whole concept of campus life.

Relationships, like mushrooms, in varsities sprout spontaneously which sends a megawatt question to the brains of many as to why a bunch of bright kids would rush to assume the “wife and husband” role which is way beyond their capabilities and more often than not falls out of hand. Freedom for instance is a rare commodity to many students before they join campus and upon joining they are totally overwhelmed by the abundance of this commodity. For many they are in a state of confusion as to how to manage their new state. Quite a large number take their new privilege as an opportunity to build their own empires of relationships.
