It is quite common seen that nowadays there are many more couples walking shoulder by shoulder on campus. Some people hold firm to their belief that the girlfriend – boyfriend relationship at university should not be acceptable because of its bad effect on students’ studies. Nonetheless, I take a different view that the effect may be positive or negative depending on your way to balance the relationship and the school work. To begin with, the relationship between the opposite sexes at university can take some advantages. Except your classmates and roommates, having a special person to love and be loved will make your life at university more colorful and meaningful. Nothing is sweeter and happier when receiving red roses, candies, kisses or hugs from your boyfriend/girlfriend. The honest affection will warm your life away from home. Additionally, you can help each other in life and studies as well. To illustrate, if you have a boyfriend excelling others in studies, he will become your motivation or inspiration to learn harder and better. However, every coin has two sides. When falling in love with everybody, we always want to be together with him/her. Apparently, the time has been divided into two parts. It means that the time we spend on the studies will be decrease. Therefore, if you do not know the way to control yourself and balance your time, your studies will become worse, even you cannot graduate and get pregnant at an early age. Furthermore, a broken relationship can lead to students’ negative attitude. Those who is heartbreaking usually choose suicide to relieve her/his feeling. This may bring much pain to their parents, relatives and friends. To sum up, when being a student, you should prioritize your studies above anything else. Having a boyfriend – girlfriend relationship is not bad; however, you have to balance between the study and the love.
