I recently started college and I'm worried that I will not be able to make it through the school year. I miss my boyfriend so much and I'm worried that he's going to cheat on me while he's away at college in another state. We told each other that we would remain faithful to each other while we were in school, but I've seen posts of him partying with random girls in his dorm room. He doesn't talk to me as much as before and he just seems like a different dude. Meanwhile, I don't do anything. My roommates always ask me to go out but I don't out of respect for him. All I do is go to class and back to my room.
I love him so much. I had no idea it would be this difficult to be away from him. I don't know how to deal with this. Please help me.
Signed,
Freshman
Dear Freshman,
I'm sorry you're going through this. Sometimes it's difficult to detach from our comfort zones and venture into new arenas without the people we are accustomed to seeing by our sides, but it's necessary for you to step out of the past and into the present. Please begin to enjoy your college experience and stop focusing on what could potentially be your downfall. Focus on what's important - your education.
Your boyfriend is clearly enjoying himself, and it's not out of the ordinary for people to change once they get to college. College is where most people find themselves and begin to establish an identity. I know it may seem that your boyfriend is your whole life right now, but you haven't even scratched the surface of what life has to offer yet. Trust me.
At this point, you should begin activities which will empower and encourage you to be strong, focused, and open to college experiences. The next time your roomies ask you out, GO! Take a hint from your boyfriend and have a good time! You're too young to be restricting yourself. You may even realize that you're better off without your boyfriend.
Walk good,
#TeamWISY
