Why try to fix something that isn't broken?

Today. Well today was interesting. I was so wonderfully persuaded to take a ride down to UDel this morning. (I missed the funeral I wanted to go to but that is because I set up a meeting before I realized it was today:( ) Anyway, I go down there to talk to the track coach, who finally showed some interest in me. And she was really sweet. But, after thinking for so long that I wouldn't be able to jump for Udel, I had decided a million other things I wanted to do instead. Now I was just thrown a curveball. Yay for stress! But I did get to spend some quality time with my dad and stalk my dorm, so even with the added stress, the trip was worth it (until the coach creeps on me because she knows who I am if i don't jump for her)


Of course, there is hurricane Irene. What a pitiful name for a hurricane. Anyway, now I don't get to move in to school on Saturday. Move in and classes are postponed indefinitely! I was so excited to move in, it was such a let down! All of the islands around me are having a mandatory evacuation. And half of my town must evacuate as well, which is kind of scary. My boyfriend who is at school right on the water isn't evacuating which kind of scares me. But I'm betting they predict this huge storm and we get a little drizzle. I'd laugh haha.


(Sorry about this rant, I got a little carried away).
On my school's facebook page, one of the other incoming freshman asking everyone's opinion about relationships in college. I was surprised at the positive responses from everyone else in relationships, but I was a little worried when one kid posted he broke up with his girlfriend of a year and a half because he wanted to "live it up" his first few weeksn of college, and then wait for the perfect girl to find him. I'm kind of disturbed at what goes through our generation's mind. Ditch your s.o because you want to party? Screw love so you can screw random people? Starting my freshman year in a relationship with a Naval Academy Midshipman, I know I am in a tough relationship. And its not for everyone. But, my boyfriend is foremost my best friend. He is the one I can tell anything to, who always knows how to make me feel better, who I can talk to about anything or nothing and he makes me happy. Why would I ever give that up because of college? Not saying other relationships aren't tough, but the Academy has so many rules, regulations, and restrictions and relationships have made it through that! So anything is possible. I understand sometimes relationships really might not work out. The person might not be your soulmate or there might have been other issues, such as trust or loyalty. But to hear that someone broke up with their s.o because they want to party in school is pathetic to me. Since when has partying, getting drunk, and sleeping around been able to make you happy? When has it become okay for these things to take the place of real relationships? I'm kind of disgusted thats how kids think these days. You can't have a college experience in a relationship. Since when? You tell me.
