Relationships
continued from page 1
out of sight, also is he out of mind,”
some 400 years earlier.
And although dedicated, Fraw
ley said he wouldn’t want to be a
selfish boyfriend.
“If she meets someone else, then
I’ll be okay with it,” Frawley said.
“It’s better than waiting around
four years for me.”
A strong base of friendship and
communication is what Frawley
believes will keep him and his girl
friend together.
He is not alone. One-third of
the patients visiting the Univer
sity Counseling Center recognize
relationships as an issue of con
cern, said counselor Ron
Miyaguchi. Miyaguchi said
freshmen in particular have to
deal with the transition to col
lege life, which includes the top
ic of relationships.
Freshman art major Serena
Washington’s approach differs
from Frawley’s. Washington de
cided she should sever all ties be
fore beginning the monumental
transition into college. Washing
ton dated her boyfriend for a year
and three months. After spending
a “great day together” on their 15
month anniversary, she ended the
relationship.
“We need to experience new
people,” Washington said. “I don’t
want to regret anything later. It has
to be done.”
But Washington sees herself
dating her former-boyfriend again
in the future. She believes their
relationship will be better later on
because they will both know there
is no one else for them.
Of cotxrse, there are many in
coming freshmen who have no
loose ends at home and are look
ing for love in college. Biology
freshman Pamela Greywal said
she looks forward to meeting peo
ple who don’t date the stereotypi
cal “Barbie girl.”
“It’s going to be easier meeting
people in college because there
aren’t the cliques that there were in
high school,” Greywal said. “There
are so many different people out
there looking for so many different
things.”
Freshman architecture major T.J.
Bates also has no romantic ties
back home. He simply wants to
“meet a ton of people.”
Bates said he comes from a small
high school where the dating scene
was much tougher than in college.
“In high school you develop a
personality, whether that’s skater,
prep, whatever. I knew what all
the girls thought of me in high
school,” Bates said. He is looking
forward to the dating scene in col
lege, where he believes he can
reinvent himself.
“I’ve met a girl already,” Bates
said. “With all the parties (during
college), it’s easy to meet someone
you click with.”
Bates doesn’t want a long-term
relationship in his first year. He
said only “the perfect girl” could
make him get serious. What “the
perfect girl” is, he couldn’t say.
None of these students say they
really know what the future holds
for their relationships. Miyaguchi
said the transition period can be a
stressful time for students.
Whether people are hanging on or
letting go of their loved ones, the
best thing to do, Miyaguchi said,
is to talk about relationship issues
with people, whether that’s fami
ly, friends, peers or the Counsel
ing Center.
