The varsity experience: prepare for rejection, or not

Varsity is hard enough as it is, what, with the constant worrying over the price of tuition, accommodation, printing as well as jostling for attention in lecture halls teeming with thousands of students eagerly seeking to make an impression and hopefully forge a reputation with the lecturers and the department. Now I should fist mention that although the above mentioned are a task and a half to accomplish, they pale in comparison to striking up a meaningful romantic relationship with girls in varsity. I should further mention that these observations are based on the point of view of a guy and therefore speak about the plight of guys trying to find the “one” in varsity. Life as a guy in varsity involves either shedding your dorky high school image or solidifying an already successful image. Now as far as the varsity girl’s taste goes (information gathered from countless fact finding missions on campus with the opposite sex), there are 3 types of guys they would either hunt down, wishfully  drop hints at or settle for (believe me they will a come a time when the third description will not bother you at all). First you have:

3.      The bursary sponsored/working go-getter.

Here’s the thing, see varsity girls are primarily drawn to providers of weekend clubbing escapades, libation and snack filled chill sessions at res and weekday lunch sponsors (generalisation)-don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that varsity girls are gold diggers, but merely that they aren’t  fans of regularly buying their own lunches and personally funding their nights out. So with all of that said I freely and passionately advice matriculants to not even think of letting go of their high school sweethearts because of tales of how hot varsity girls are, I tell you, you will be bitterly disappointed.

Now, in an attempt not to be misunderstood, I should state the obvious, and that is University is an institute of higher learning and therefore a place where those who don’t have the stamina to make it as the employee of the month at a workplace whose criterion for achieving such includes among another things; frequently stays the longest in the sun, and productive at wielding a pick when jack hammers aren’t available for everyone. So, no I do realise that the chief reason why we go to university is to study and hopefully make connections that will ensure that our future becomes a success.

But with that said, you would be grossly in denial if you even for a minute thought that making acquaintances with the opposite sex does not result in a pleasant means of passing time that the proverbial three to five years at varsity normally takes. Mind you, many a couple found each other during those days of promiscuity or celibacy (which is more often than not, not by choice). One thing that is for sure,(according to me at least) when those facts ,figures and theories of this and that are too much to comprehend, interpersonal  chit-chat that has nothing to do with revisiting the assertions of the social exchange theory, will prove more fulfilling than a consultation with your lecturer.
