Let’s talk: new relationships

New relationships can seem daunting, but are also adventurous and thrilling. Starting a new relationship in college can create a whole different dynamic. You have a new person to understand, and that includes their quirks, pet peeves and more.

Emeline Hanscel, senior in accounting, will be spending her first Valentine’s Day with her significant other. The couple has been together for about a month and met on Tinder, a popular dating app for college students.

While some couples like to go out and party when spending time together, Hanscel and her significant other enjoy watching movies and relaxing in each other’s company.

“[We spend] as much time together as possible between classes and work,” Hanscel said in a email.

While spending a lot of time together in a relationship, it’s important to know how to also keep the relationship healthy.

“Communication is big as well as respect for one another,” Hanscel said.
