Some students don't intend or coming to college and meeting their best friend, because they may already have one back home. However, not knowingly their roommate could become their next best friend. The same goes for relationships. Many believe romances formed on college campuses can be difficult to flourish. Some of the best relationships are made in college, whether it's a friendship or a romance.
Roommates often become the best of friends. Students may have best friends at home, but living with someone creates opportunity to build strong friendships. By living together roommates, get to know each other in ways that their closes friends and families don't. They know each other beyond social settings. They get to know each other's personality in a residential setting, which most regular friends won't get the opportunity of.
As far as relationships in college, it can be a very difficult and tricky thing to deal with. Most might say that college is the worst time to try and build a relationship or to even start one. Some come to college hoping to find their future husband/wife, and others come to college just to mingle and to have sexual relations with the opposite sex. This is where things get difficult because most females on college campuses are looking for something steady, while guys are just looking to fraternize and have fun. Neither parties are in the wrong here but when you try to bring these two together it gets difficult. Therefore, when dating, couples need to be clear with one another about their intentions and the expectations they have. That way there will be no more confusion.
Students should keep in mind that college is the time to have fun, and explore all alternatives in mind. If couples feel like they can withstand the negative influences colleges have on relationships, then by all means go for it. Don't be intimidated by these influences. As long as their communication, trust, and hope, everything should be fine.
Students shouldn't disregard the people they meet while away at school, because college is one of the important fields of networking. Its an opportunity for students to build the most important connections in their life.

Finals
The fall semester is coming to a close, and finals are rapidly approaching. Finals are basically examinations to test students and measure how well they have absorbed the knowledge they have learned throughout the semester. Finals can be the most stressful time for a student. It can determine whether a student: fails/pass the course, has to retake the course, what a student's GPA will look like, and maybe even if they will remain in school. Finals can be hard for many students. However, if students prepare themselves adequately they it can be much easier to withstand. Its all about time management and prioritizing.
Although many students dread studying, it is the only to pass examinations. However, studying doesn't have to be dreadful. Group studying is a great way to take the stress out of studying. A great suggestion for group studying is also to incorporate refreshments into the study session. This type of studying also give students this opportunity to share notes and information with one another.
Students should try to be more creative when it comes to studying. Create study notes with color pens/markers. This will help keep the student's attention. Students can even make up games, puzzles or mock quizzes to assist them with studying. This make studying a little more fun, and not so much like labor.
Most students become easily distracted while studying. This is a result of studying in areas with distraction such as their bedrooms, any room with televisions or computer, or an area that is noisy with many people. Students should really take advantage of their college campus library for studying. It is possible that certain college campus libraries will stay open later to better accommodate students. Students should study wherever they feel most comfortable studying.
When preparing for finals, students should study for all subjects by priority. This means that students should start studying for courses that they have the most difficulty with first, and then work towards the easier courses. Students should also take the time out to visit all of their professors to check their status in the course, and to make sure they are up to date with all assignments.
Lastly, students should remember to get an adequate amount of sleep. Cramming isn't recommended by no standards, especially not during late hours. Students should also monitor their diet, keeping it healthy and balanced. Refrain from any parties, or social events until after finals.
