My friends think I should dump him because I'm a freshman in college and I should "live it up". They don't think I should be attached to anyone seriously. But he's the best and I love him and don't want to break up with him.
Am I really going to miss out on college just because I have a boyfriend?

I can speak from experience on this. I have found that these things tend to work themselves out. Definitely don't let him limit you from experiencing college.
Stick with it, you either have a stronger relationship due to the distance. Or you'll both a mutual break up that you both find to be the best option.
You and your boyfriend aren't the same as your friends. You have to do what makes you happy and do what feels comfortable. Sounds to me your boyfriend is the ticket.

If your friends were real they would not advise you to dump someone. If you and your man love each other enough to endure a whole school year apart then you know your relationship is the real deal. I wish I could be with my boyfriend who lives in California, but we at least make time to talk every night online to save on the phone bill. You have the internet and I can recommend you try Skype.com because you can make phone calls for free except international which you have to pay for so if you got a webcam and a mic you can talk in real time with your sweetie and not feel you have no connection with him. As far as you friends are concerned they need to quit telling you to live it up because you're a freshman. People destroy the best relationships when their friends stay too involved in their buisness.

your really really need to break up with him. College is a time to learn about YOURSELF and experience growing up. You are really into him because you probably havent experienced anything else. When you 40 years old, ugly and wrinkly, all you will have to look back on is the crazy times. Imagine looking back at you college life and seeing, you and and ex, hanging out by yourselves while you friends are dating and having the time of your lives. Your boyfriend WILL get jealous everytime you go out and you will spend your good years fighting. You will NEVER be as good looking as you are now, have fun with it.

All these reasons are superficial. If you want to be with him, then be with him. I was with my bf for the majority of my college years, and I don't regret it. We loved one another. We broke up, but it happened about three years after I was in college. So don't listen to your friends, just because you're going to college doesn't mean you can't make a relationship last. LMAO! Miss E said it best! :)

Thats what my girlfriend's friends told her to do, and she did, even though she just recently told me she loved me. Now were "Taking a break" so she can find out what she wants, even though she loves me and we had a great relationship, she didnt want to be in a serious relationship right now so she could "live it up." This left a huge hole in me and Ive felt sick and misreable ever since then. I know I did everything I could to make her happy and I would do anything for her but it still wasnt enough.
It's up to you but you shouldnt take you're friends advice, they dont know what you and your boyfriend had together, and they shouldnt decide what makes you happy. If you're looking just to have fun then so be it, but you have to think about if anyone up there will care about you like he does, and how much you really love him.

If you love him and don't want to break up with him then don't...Maybe your friends are jealous and what exactly are going to miss out on, being a hoe, if so you should pass on that anyway...... You can still party if you want.....I think they are jealous and just want you to be single along with them.

You know you want to see other guys and no way he doesn't think that. So just say "Look we gotta have an open relationship" and then discuss the rules of the game.

Personally, if it's a long distance thing, I would drop the boyfriend. Your friends are right, you should have fun while you're young and explore life. Discover yourself.

what your friends told u are not true! don't be pressured what you peers are saying to you...you're old enought to know what you want...if you love your bf, you don't need to break up with him just because of going into college..life in college is not that easy, you need someone who will support and listen to your stories..and i assure you that your bf is the number 1 supporter and listener

Yes! You'll meet guys that are more "mature" which is what girls seem to like. You'll dump him eventually; trust me. It happens ALL the time. Plus, he'll drag your @ss down. By this, I mean he'll get jealous of all the guys and not want you to go out at all. Then you'll be angry with him....blah, blah, blah.....drama, drama, drama....
