If you are a Freshmen like me, never fall in love with a Senior student.
You can love a fellow Freshmen, explore College for the first time together. Linger on each other's company more often for you have all the time you still have, given that you are just starting a new chapter of your lives. Live the college life as if there's no tomorrow.
You can love a Sophomore Student, let him/her guide you through your first year in College. You can put your trust in him for he has already gone through that one year you are currently just in.
You can love a Junior Student, he'll surely devote more time for you, for he knows that he has this year as his second to the last. Look for the rebellious side of this Junior student and be sure to cherish every moment.
But never, ever fall in love with a Senior Student.
Consider the gap in age when you love a senior student. People will say a lot of things about you - and you will get hurt with what they are going to say, a lot of bad things to say the least. Because of the huge gap, misunderstandings might occur more often between the two of you.
A senior college student will have little or less time for the two of you, for he'll be worrying for his future career as he is going to graduate soon, of course. He'll be more concentrated on the pressures that the academic scene require such as Theses and Title Defenses and Project Proposals and whole lot of other Senior-y stuff. Besides, would you want to just get in the way of his dreams of graduating and landing a possibly good job?
A Freshmen-Senior relationship might never get that far. What happens to the young one when the older one graduates and leaves the campus after graduation? Surely, they'll not be able to continue what they have when one continues to study as a sophie and the other one starts to work.
Finally, loving a senior student is too demanding for both sides - the Senior trying to stoop down to the level of a not yet mature mind while the Freshman trying to reach out to the yet unknown lessons of life and love. A relationship like this will get you all consumed up - your time, your resources, your efforts and so much more. So a piece of advice young Freshman, simply avoid the risks that comes along with loving a Senior student.
To fall in love with a Senior College Student is only for the always understanding, ever patient and highly idealistic Freshman.
To fall in love with a senior demands that you be always understanding. People will always have something to say anyway so just better let them be, but don't let them affect your relationship with the Senior you love. Trust him with all your heart for he knows what to do and how to act in certain situations - he'd been there for the past three years already.
To love a senior also requires long-term patience. Yes, he'll be ever busy with his never-ending requirements and academic loads, but it would be impossible that you not find time for each other within the 24 hours given in a day or 7 days given in a week. Patience is the key for this kind of relationship to last. Support each other in any way you can to finish the tasks on time so that you'll have more quality time for each other without compromising your studies.
And in my own honest opinion, what a worried senior needs is a highly idealistic Freshman. Yes, nothing lasts forever, a relationship with a Senior won't last. Perhaps it may not ever reach that point. It might not be the most idealistic relationship, but to fall in love with a senior is the greatest feeling ever. To fall in love with such diverse and complex mind that had gone through and about to leave College Life already. You will learn a lot about falling in love with a senior, and I mean A LOT. Yeah sure, choosing to love a fellow Freshman, a Sophomore or a Junior student may be a less arduous task, but to love a Senior beyond all the difficulties, trials and challenges is the greatest gift of love that a Freshman would experience.
"So yes, Fall In Love with a Senior, but do so with all your heart and youthfulness as a Freshman."
