We're in college. Don't just have a girlfriend. Sure???

"Many adults like to say that in school, focus on studying first. Don't just have a girlfriend. Sounds like a good hope, right? But... sure?"

"Think about it, if we're going to learn about living, managing emotions, communicating, or even really understanding other people... where is it taught?

"It's not wrong to have a girlfriend in school if we know Balance well, because people who don't manage time, don't have self-discipline, even if they don't have a boyfriend, fail anyway, and people who have a girlfriend but know how to prioritize, they grow up to be good at work and heart."

"Real life is not only taught in the classroom, but in the relationships we build. If we avoid, don't learn when we miss it, when it's time to get serious... we break down without even knowing where we missed it."

"So the question is... does not have a girlfriend really help us grow up, or does it just slow us down? Because maybe... what adults think protects us may just push us to learn everything hurt later."
