Well, my boyfriend is Indian and I’m half Indian - his dad is ok with it, his mom is the one who has major issues with me being in the picture.

The thing is, if anything my boyfriend’s grades have improved - I make sure he does his homework, doesn’t sleep too much, (yeah, I take care of him) his strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa, so we help eachother (it’s nice since he’s a year older, he probably helps me more since he’s in APs/IBs for science/math). As for my grades - they would’ve been a lot worse if he wasn’t around. Well, I might not have made it through the worst points of my depression without him. So, he’s definitely been beneficial.

The good/bad thing is, he lives 45 minutes away from me, so we both do have our seperate social lives’ - we trust and respect eachother. He has his own friends/activities and I have mine - yet I know his good friends and he knows mine.

I’ve almost been going out with my guy for a year, and since he’s a senior this year, we talked a long time ago about colleges - I’m not effecting any of his decisions and he won’t affect mine - academics come first and even though we’re in it deep with eachother, even with the stress and strain, we’ll make it through college if our relationship is as healthy as we think.

It’s all about balance. Don’t let her get to your head. Stay focused. If she starts talking about the same colleges, ones your not interested in or only interested in because she is - tell her academics come first and if she thinks not, then break it off. Be serious about it - don’t fall into fairytale - “we’ll be together forever.” I don’t care what anyone says, if you will be, you will be regardless of college/etc.
