You can settle for a relationship. I experienced one relationship that really made me terrified of settling. And after college I saw a…
It's not uncommon to come across cheating in college. Everyone knows the drama: he's been cheating on her for years. She knows but ignores it. They both cheat on each other and never confront it.

Relationships are a fragile thing. One string becomes frayed, it gets snagged, and the whole thing unravels into your hands. You never saw it coming.
