Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
When you are roaming alone on campus, when you are eating alone in the canteen, or when you met something interesting but there is no one to share, will you suddenly have a burning desire to find a girlfriend or boyfriend as your companion in that lonely campus?
Admit it or not, most of us had those moments. We tried to imagine the shape of love, to hold a beautiful fantasy about campus love, which is pure, sweet, romantic and positive.
However, we didn’t seriously consider the downsides of campus love.
First, there is rare true love existing on campus. According to the year 2014’s Education Blue Book released by China Social Science Academy, about 88% of college students regarded campus love as a physical need.
Second, students are not psychologically mature enough to afford love. Some may think love is to be loved, to be cared, or to be cherished but never give. Some get irritated and desperate easily, sometimes even can’t help to go to the extreme.
Third, it distracts students’ attention of study. Some students get so involved in a love relationship that they skip class, spend their time hanging out together and do not care about school work..
My experience was a case in point. In my freshmen year, I was curious about everything in college that I thought I can start a brand-new life of freedom and I was longing for the sweet campus love. Before long, without careful consideration, I began a campus love. Being so strange to the college life, I relied on my boyfriend and cared about him all the time, even when I was having lessons. As a result, the campus love didn’t last long, since we two were both too naïve to understand the other, and too impulsive to realize the essence of love. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention to my school work, which only left too much regret for me.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am not saying that I object campus love. As a matter of fact, campus love is a sharp double-bladed knife. Students should enjoy the happiness when in love but meanwhile accept the pain and disappointment that may possibly occur in a relationship. I encourage students to experience the campus love but only after understanding yourself and weighing your options. I encourage those who are mature enough to balance love and study, those who treat love seriously and responsibly, and those who can be motivated by the campus love. Campus love is not the playground for the lonely young people, but a training ground in which we can learn and progress.
We are young, we are brave, and we are the apprentice of love. So try to learn it, don’t be too rush or too worry. When you figure out the true meaning of love, love will eventually come.
