1.No One Has the Time

Let's face it, with all of the exams, extra curricular activities, and essays due, no one has the time for a relationship.

2.What Happens After Graduation?

Once you've finally graduated with that English degree, and your SO lands that banking job in the big city, what the hell happens next?

3.Long Distance

When summer comes around and you find yourself going 4 months without your boo, times can get tough. Especially if you're experiencing #2.

4.Everybody Just Wants to Hook Up

What happened to chivalry and the dreamy romance of love? Wait, hold on a sec, I just got a match on Tinder.

5.Jealousy

Getting sketchy texts from her being like, "I'm chilling with George Meorge at his house. He just got accepted to Harvard Law, we have to celebrate!" Life isn't fair.

6.Everybody is Taken

It seems like every potential prospect has already found their special someone. Why is life a riddle?

7.Social Media

With your entire life on Facebook and the zero-sum game of Tinder, it's unlikely that you'll find true love.

8.Temptation

While in university you'll meet some of the most genetically gifted specimens. Maintaining a relationship in that environment can be frustrating.

9.Everyone is Better Looking than You

Literally everyone you see is out of your league. Where do these people get the time to look so good anyway?!

10.Women Assume Men Will Always be Unfaithful

There are men who like to sleep around, and there men who don't. Assuming that they're all the former is just wrong.

11.We Only Meet in Bars and Clubs

It's amazing how the university experience gives you the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people. It's also crazy how you always meet them at a bar.

12.People Have Commitment Issues

People just don't want to be tied down. Can you blame them though? I'd rather eat pizza until cardiac arrest than watch Say Yes To The Dress for 3 hours straight.

13.We Communicate Through Text

In a world where calling is an oddity, our means of communication has dwindled into mere emojis. How are you supposed to express your profound love through a text? What is wrong with life?

14.There are Diseases Everywhere!

University campuses are breeding grounds for a plethora of sexually transmitted diseases. If there's any reason not to date in university, it's this.

15.Men Assume Women Want Serious Relationships

These misconceptions make it hard for both sexes to get along. Instead of believing these myths, open yourself up to the possibility that everybody is an individual.

16.You Probably Live Way Too Close To Them

"Hey, uhh would you be able to lend me a cup of sugar. We're kind of out."
