if you ever get the chance to choose between your studies and boyfriend/girlfriend....what/who will you choose? why? Others believe that love can conquer everything... well i dont believe in that... but yes love can make you happy... the feeling that you cant explain to the extent that you will not mind those things that is important to you... come to think of it... LOVE do ruins everything.... "you dont believe in me then make yourself happy with what you call love..." im not saying that im against love.. I myself experienced that thing.. what im trying to say is that you should balance everything.. prioritize those that would contribute in the future:) peace out

I chose my boyfriend at the time over college. He didn't ask me to choose but we decided to try and make a life together and move out into our own place. That required me to get a job so I no longer had the ability to go to college and my father was paying for my school but since I was going to move out, I wasn't going to ask him to continue to pay for it. I can't say I regret my choices. I'm not married to that man for the past 13 years and we've been together for 20 years so it worked out for us but there are times when I look back and wish I had finished college. I knew my boyfriend was going to be my husband - I had no doubts about his love or mine so maybe that is why it was easy for me to give up my school for him. He is always encouraging me to go back and maybe when my son graduates from school in 2 years, I will think about going back part time to school. Sometimes loves does conquer all but only when you are SURE it's the real thing .. a lasting thing. My love for my husband and son outweighs anything else in my life. I might be poor one day and living on the streets but as long as I have those two men in my life and I know they love me - then I will be o.k.

I meant to say that I'm *NOW* married to that man for the past 13 years. Sorry for the typo!

you should prioritize your studies because if someone really loves you, he/she can wait till the right time for you both to be free and do whatever you want to after you graduate in college.. you can find love everywhere, it's just you should pick the right one so there's no reason for you to regret anytime soon, and if you love, you should be happy and not lonely, if you're not happy with a relationship, then find someone else who could make you happy.. love you, Take care and God Bless honey..

lover - After I have reached the age over 35, I became practical, I love study more than my girlfriend.
For me, it depends on my age. When I was young, a fresh graduate from school or before graduate time, I would choose love as priority. But now, at the age of almost 40, my decision has changed to be practical. If I may study well and get a well paid job, I may find another women who loves and be happy together. That is my mind set at the moment.

That is a pretty tough decision, but I would have to say that I would choose my studies. My boyfriend is extremely important to me, but it is also important that I do well in school and get my degree. I wanted to transfer schools last fall because I am not entirely happy at this school, but I stayed here because I didn't want to leave my boyfriend. I'm still not sure that it was the best decision ever, but I am here now, and things are working out alright for me.

Luckily, I've never experience choosing one of them.. I choose both, I believe I can do things with those 2 I'm facing.. Love conquers all, well for some I might say. But education is also an important thing that could dictate your future. If love is present then he/she would understand why you choose your studies first. yup, I agree, things should be balance and weigh you decisions before you commit into an involvement. The things you prioritize will be part of what your future will be..
