When You're Single: Don't Date Other Students

I feel like often the issue with students is that they only date other students. Newsflash: there are tons of other great young people who did not take the uni/college-route (I speak from experience); and I find this difference in lifestyle can create a beneficial balance. Here's why:

1) When they come home, their work is DONE. Students spend a lot of time in class, and then when they come home, they need to spend even more time studying. Dating someone who isn't a student makes scheduling dates and spending time together a lot easier.

BTW this shit ^ only happens in movies.

2) They go out less. When you work a 9-5, chances are you're not hitting up Korova Mondays, Winnie's Tuesdays, McKibbins Wednesdays, and Tokyo Thursdays. My theory is the less alcohol and partying involved in a relationship, the more chances it has to be successful (and drama-free).

3) They can remain calm for you in times of stress (i.e exams). Exams happen at the same time for all students. 2/2 partners sleep deprived and super stressed out is not a good time.



4) They probably live alone. Having a full-time job and no tuition debt = being able to afford living alone. Privacy is key in building a relationship, and it's always fun to be able to f*ck anywhere, anytime. Plus, it can also give you a better idea of what living together could be like.

5) They have a better sense of responsibility. A) They have more bills to pay themselves B) They cannot afford to lose their job C) They have a certain level of maturity most students don't have and D) They are most likely more ready to commit and build a future with someone.
