Sometimes relationships can get in the way of our goals and priorities. Remind yourself of why are you going to college. It's amazing how much your relationship with your parents matures after you've been away from home for awhile. Revel in your new relationship with them. Treat your partner or potential partner the way you want to be treated.
Communication is the key to success in any type of relationship, whether with a partner or friend.
HIV is a reality. WIU has trained and licensed counselors who assist in relationship problems. Whether it's with a counselor, friend, or resident assistant, if your emotions are in turmoil, talk to someone.
