    Dating too. You’ll never have a group of so many single people the same age as you again, and college selects for people with similar life experiences and goals.

    If there was one piece of advice I could give to young adults in school, it would be to not be afraid to start thinking long-term. There are lots of adults who graduate and get stuck in the work/home/sleep cycle for years, then wish they had prioritized this before it got more difficult.

      Exactly. I met my SO at college, and we got married before finishing school. It was so much better having a reliable roommate who was up for… breaks… to get through the tough parts of the school year.

      Ok but also as an adult, don’t let yourself get into that cycle. Find reasons to get out of the house and meet new people. Even when you’re married. I’ve seen so many adults let themselves become isolated because it’s easy, but ensuring you have hobbies that get you out of the house and talking to people is so valuable
