The Justice

From my experience, good things are always worth the wait: there's nothing better than finally spending time with someone you've gone so long without. If things aren't what you thought they would be, however, don't fret: it's totally normal. Over three months, pressure and anticipation can't help but build up for the fall. Give your relationship some time to fall back into the swing of things.

Entering your summer ambiguously can prove the stickiest situation of all. With no strings attached and no pressure, you have your freedom for the summer. Yet you know that upon returning to school, you'll have a special someone waiting-at least potentially-to pick up where you left off. You can enjoy the summer, relax with your friends, and while you may experience some relationship drama, it's only enough to subtly remind you of things to look forward to. These relationships greet the fall in one of two ways-either way, it's your decision. Don't kid yourself and assume you'll just "end up" with someone: work is required from both sides for a relationship to resume successfully. You can take a shot at dating and seeing if things work out (never doubt the maturation one can achieve over a mere summer) or agree to leave last semester's relationship in last semester and seek out something new and perhaps a bit more compatible.

Fast-forward through the three months of heat, beaches, bikinis and attractive interns, and you're right back at your second home, school. Whether the three months flew by or crawled past, it's time to begin a new year-one filled with relationships, dating and plenty of awkward moments, all of which make college the best dating time of our lives.
