Booty calls, drunken makeouts, and adultery weren't your idea of "adult college relationship". Second semester is when you learn to stay away.

It's hard peeps! But totally worth it. You'll graduate all educated and all those endless study night with have been worth it. Uni gives you contacts, memories and amazing friends...or just chronic headaches!
