Future psychology study

[mywhip]

I'm going to do a psychology study. The study will be the following :

How many students during their freshman year have entered relationships.

How many of those students that entered relationships are currently still in those? (obviously directed towards Sophmore or higher)

My thinking is that those who enter into relationships as they enter college try to find someone that they can connect with since they are leaving things at home, and they want to try to feel at home by doing such (if this makes sense..?). What do you think my findings will be.

This is a serious study and should be taken as such. If you want to share your experience with the issue than you can go ahead, but the main point is just to see what everyone thinks about it. So far i have to think of questions that would provide me with the answers that i need.

That is good to hear. I wish i could hear more reports of still being in a relationship, but i am afraid that will not be the case.

I've been with my girlfriend since our Senior year of high school. She's now a Junior in college and i'm working.

Im a freshman in college at the moment. My girlfriend and I just started going out a month and a half ago. I did like hanging with my redneck buddies back home, and she definitely is country, so I guess you could make that connection.

College kids typically enter into relationships for one thing. Poontang.

Also, many kids go to college to get away from home, highschool, and the people of their childhoods...

How does finding someone you like make you feel at home? I would think it just makes you more secure in your new surroundings, without replicating that home feeling?

Just a few thoughts...

My wife and I joined the Navy out of high school. I am a few years older than her, but while I flitted around from relationship to relationship, after we met that was it. I was her first boyfriend, we are coming up on 19 years of marriage in May.

I'm a freshmen in college right now. I'm more of a lone wolf charater or just anti-social. But I do make friends with others. As for an actually relationship, never been in one.

I would ask, "what were your goals/ desires for a girlfriend freshman year"? "what are your goals/desires for a girlfriend now, and how or what do you thin changed your way of thinkin"?

Time changes everyone, I would guess that between 5 and 10 percent are still with the person they chose freshman year, maybe even less.

I started a relationship the same week I started college in 2006. We got married at the end of June.
