Relationships are Made to be Broken

So judging by the title of this post, you could probably guess there has been a bit of relationship, may we say, excitement within our friends lately. While some yes is exciting, some is not even close. There have been a few relationships within the "family" throughout this year that were either re-kindled or made new. For sake of their privacy, I won't use any names of course.

The first of these relationships was two students who knew each other from high school and have been on and off for a while now. They had finally gotten back together this year and have been doing so well together and were so happy, so we though. Sadly, last night they broke it off because they just couldn't be together anymore. Little did some of us know, they had been having trouble for a while and were talking about breaking up. Honestly in my opinion, it was not worth the fighting and arguing they constantly got into. No relationship is obviously that well off if you are just arguing. There really is no happiness in that. So we'll see what happens with our friendships since they're not on the best terms and we are all friends with both of them ...

Second we can put a name on it, because it's me. I had found a boyfriend the beginning of this year. He was one of my best friends I had met at this school and we just hit it off. This is that story that won't end sadly, and is more exciting. Technically we've been together for only 3 months now, tomorrow, but its really been since first semester, so almost 5, 6 months. We've had the slightest bit of problems that were completely forgotten and couldn't be any happier than we are now. I'm thankful that I am included in the exciting part of this post ... 

Next, and finally last, is these two students who also just met at the beginning of this year. One had a significant other when they did met, but finding out it wasn't the first time that person was not faithful, it was overlooked pretty much. We all thought they were happy, and she did everything she could to make him happy. Little did we know till recently happy is far from what they are. He mentally abuses her over and over again and she goes back for more. Last time there was a huge blow up we all gave him one more chance to make up for it, and so did she. Well that obviously meant nothing, he hurt her again, and she ONCE AGAIN went back with him. There is a great deal of tension now because none of us really know  how to respond to them anymore ... 

Well hopefully all the sad stories will work out and the excitement will continue on. Its frustrating to watch all of this happen, especially with close friends. We just have to remember it's college. There are going to be more opportunities and its how we handle those opportunities is what guides us to where we go and tell how things are going to turn out.
