Choosing a College on Skiing or Love:

<p>Go for skiing! What if you two break up or something? Then you’ll really regret that you didn’t choose skiing.</p>

<p>I’m currently in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend of two years. I live in Arizona- He’s in DC. Does it work? Absolutely. Is it enjoyable? No. It’s a lot of missing each other. It’s difficult. Most DON’T make it, no matter how strong your relationship is.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I’m the girlfriend of the guy who started this thread. I would just like to say that i have made it explicitly clear that I will not choose a long distance relationship, and that he can choose to be with me or to ski.
I personally think he is making a mistake, but he can do whatever he wants to do… it’s his life. I can see from this post that skiing is obviously more important to him.</p>

<p>Aww hosanna3… I feel for you :frowning: I think you’re making the right decision though. Long distance relationships almost never work out, and even if they do, there’s a lot of grief and angst involved.</p>

<p>skiing baby all the way, the girl can leave you but the mountains never will haha… tear up some double blacks for me</p>

<p>oh and hosanna3 dont feel too bad that your man wants the slopes more than you</p>

<p>Woah dude. A real life person < skiing? You got to be joking. Go for the girl. Marry her. Then live where ever you want, Colorado for all I care, and ski WITH her.</p>

<p>Hosanna 3; Why can’t you go to school in Utah too?</p>

<p>choose skiing and go to CU Boulder, about 30 mins from breck, vail, keystone, a. basin and copper</p>

<p>Choose skiing… Your relationship won’t last anyways in college and she’ll probably cheat on you anyhow…</p>

<p>b’smom: I cannot go to Utah because the schools are not good enough. not trying to offend, but I’m trying to go to a decently good private school. Jclay2 and I both got a 34 on the ACT, and I wish he cared more about college and a real human being than skiing. I think that I will probably break up with him if he really cares less about me than skiing. I can’t stop crying because we have been really really close for 4 years. What should I do?</p>

<p>What about Vermont? You could both go to Middlebury.</p>

<p>But Hosanna … you are still in high school. You both need to live your dreams now, while you are young. You don’t need to commit forever at 18. If you are meant to be together, you’ll find that out in the summers. Set him free, you both go explore what you need to explore, and you’ll find out if you were supposed to be together after all.</p>

<p>I would say to both of you, “Run to follow your dreams now!” You have no idea at 18 what you actually want out of life in even 5 years. If you guilt your boyfriend into following your dreams, he will resent it at some point. I know it feels hard for you now, but you need to follow your own dreams. You can’t really expect an 18 y.o. male not to do the same. You are going to meet many, many people in the next four years, whose interests are very similar to yours because that is how you will end up in the same college as they. Do not hold your boyfriend back because his interests and priorities differ. You have been his only girlfriend! He needs to go…let him, without the guilt. You won’t regret it.</p>

<p>thank you, that helps me. We are really young and he will regret it if I force him to go with me to college. We will see what happens in a few years.</p>

<p>Mountains in Montana and on both coasts! But what if you break up, you will always have the love of skiing.</p>
