Many of us went away to college and left our loved ones behind. It’s hard to say goodbye to our parents, friends and, even worse, our high school relationship. So hard, in fact, that some of us don’t say goodbye. Long distance relationships in college are fairly common, especially for underclassmen.

I don't want to have to wonder about each girl that "likes" my man's Facebook status. My roommate's boyfriend actually deleted his Facebook profile because he was tired of seeing comments like "Wow, sexy," on her photos.
I have a friend who’s dating a loser. She tells me stories of all of the awful things he says and does to her. Although her boyfriend isn't physically violent, he’s verbally abusive. And sometimes words hurt just as bad as a black eye.
Relationships, life connections — we all have them. You and your lover, your mom and her hairdresser, or your roommate and chocolate. These are all important links that should not be overlooked. With the many different kinds of relationships in our lives, it's easy to remain unaware or even take for granted this symbiosis. This column will explore the good and bad connections in our lives.
