SELF HELP
Relationship Management
One of the greatest parts of college life is the friendships and romances that are built and one of the greatest tragedies is to see them broken. The experience of learning to relate to new and different people is never easy, but don’t worry, at a university with 17,000 people, you will have plenty of practice and opportunity. Whether you are trying to build new friends, maintain a long distance relationship, hold on to your high school sweetheart, begin a new relationship, or have your very first serious relationship, college can be a difficult time for relationships. Many of us are just beginning to learn about ourselves, not to mention figuring out the personalities and idiosyncrasies of our friends, partners, and loved ones!! The most important thing to remember is that all relationships, whether with a friend, roommate, or lover, take time and energy to make them work. Even if we believe that we are “very good with people,” relationship stress and arguments can make our lives feel like a scene from Apocalypse Now.
Below are some links to help you manage relationships during these tricky times. If you wondering how to deal with your roommate and dorm life; begin new relationships or end the bad relationships; fight a fair fight or recognize an unhealthy or violent relationship; learn about your sexuality or explore how to be intimate; there are links below to help you in all of these areas.
