Relationships during your first year of university are a hot topic this time of year.
Loads of people up and down the country will be sat down with their high school sweetheart discussing whether they want to continue their romance into university or indirectly admitting they want sleep with the first person who shows a remote bit of interest.
Note at this point: That person will almost certainly be a huge mistake. Just... have a think.
I've had friends avoid this situation by mutually agreeing with their other half to just go the same university. That worked as well, they've just bought a place together two years after leaving uni.
I've had other friends who just split with their boy/girlfriend and cut all ties. Also effective.
And of course there is the tragic route that I stupidly chose to take that was to mutually agree to break up and 'see what happens' and then within five minutes become a horrendous desperate lovesick blubbering mess because I was clearly still madly in love with her.
Let's not get into it.

The conundrum facing many high school lovers is probably not helped by UCAS openly admitting in their leaflet to prospective uni students that leaving boyfriends/girlfriends at home is the best thing for them.
Of course there are decent arguments for that, but there are also decent arguments against.
One such person completely perplexed by UCAS telling people in relationships to break up is 19-year-old Lauren Rosenbaum (pictured above) from Fife, Scotland.
She was pretty surprised by UCAS basically telling her boyfriend, 17-year-old Max Brooks, to break up with her that she decided to share it on Twitter...
That's a pretty cheeky move.
Max is heading to Naiper University in September while Lauren hopes to join him next year as she didn't get on the journalism course she had hoped to this time around.

Lauren told the MailOnline: "[Max] received it yesterday, and we both found it really funny as we know we'll be fine.
"We have no intentions of breaking up when he leaves.
"Everyone else has also found it quite funny and I have had some people say it's true and most couples break up when they go to uni but it doesn't affect me, they don't know my relationship."
So young lovers out there, what are you going to do? Trust your other half or take the UCAS route?
Tough choice, huh? My only advice, don't fucking do what I did.
