When it comes to boyfriends in college...
Okay, just kidding. We do.
Dating in high school was a pubescent disaster, so we figured once we came to college, our boyfriends would be mystical and perfect. Gone are the days of the immature Justin Bieber types and here to stay are the classy college men. Or so we thought.
Boyfriends in college don't always fit the prototype of our dream man, but we aren't afraid to admit that what we expect from our boyfriends in college isn't always realistic. But hey, a girl can dream... right?
