I know this sounds absurd but hear me out.

Wait. What??????? This can’t be true right?! I heard this during a soirée I attended in my final year and I attended hoping to get some relationship tips so you can imagine how I felt coming back home with this on my mind. Naturally I didn’t want to believe it, I didn’t want to even think about it but it seems it won’t go away till I debunk or prove it, so let’s go!!!

Okay first I want to believe don’t have to explain  the university environment. But oh well, for context sake. The university is an institution of higher education and research which grants academic degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate) across diverse disciplines. Don’t sleep off we are more interested in the environment than the technical aspect. What is it about the university atmosphere that makes it easier to find love yeah?

One of the core benefit of the university environment is that the campuses bring together people from different backgrounds, cultures, and lifestyles. The point the source of this discussion was trying to make was that university is the last place that brings together people in close proximity over a period of time, four years being the least. So basically what he and my friend google are trying to say is that you get exposed to potential love interests everyday and you get to see that person almost everyday as you guys are in that sort of enclosed environment.

Okay we’ve discussed how university is a vibrant social environment where interaction is practically unavoidable in contrast to the isolated life of 9-5. Let’s talk love now. What is love and in what environment does it bloom? You know what? I’m not going to define love it’s a relative term so I’m going to let you see it as you fit.

Based on popular opinion, Love starts with friendship and consistency. Someone being there when you need them. What better person to share your troubles than someone who has walked or is walking your path literally. Love requires an active, sustained effort to build trust and companionship. Life will get busy after school no doubt everyone will be out there on their own. But here? You aren’t alone. The age when you are in the university is a transition from adolescence to adulthood. An age where you are trying to figure things out and one of it is most likely love and relationship. All this is saying is that university provides a great atmosphere for love. It’s vibrant social life, proximity, relatability come on what else do you need!?

But I’m not here to give you relationship advice I’m only here to discuss if the topic is absurd or not and from the points I don’t think it’s completely absurd neither is it fact. Just like love it is relative. If you are in university, relax, love and accept being loved. Don’t run away or leave it for later, you might regret it or not. It’s a time and age you can never go back, so make good use of the space and time. If you are out of the university don’t fret. It’s hard but not impossible. Things that are harder to get are stronger (wink wink)don’t run away from it too time goes by faster than you think. Relationships are more important than people like to discuss, not just in the aspect of a partner but also friends. There are no deadlines in love. People are still falling in love everyday, you can too.

This is getting too cheesy. See you next time with another absurd topic.
