When you are trying to move away from only focusing on a relationship, the perks that come with facing the reality can be tricky and not every partner can be understanding. In order for a relationship to grow, it needs both partners and it requires them to spend more time together. So sometimes you may find yourself worried as to how you will achieve this while trying to make a life and a bright future of your own. It is tricky, but not impossible. Let’s learn how
Plan your schedule
Put out a plan structure in order for you to find out how much time and days you will need for your school work and then do the same in calculating how much time you need to spend with each other, when you got a solid answer, you will need to action it and include your partner in it. Pen down your schedule and stick to it. When you are able to master that, it will be a little easy to stick with and neither your relationship nor your books will suffer. Your end-of-year results and bae will both appreciate this!
Have study dates
It is with the outmost importance that you need to be realistic on how challenging it will sometimes be as not all things sometimes work according to plan. be realistic about what to expect from each other, that way you will both know what to expect in the long run. For that to work, then why not come up with a solution to even go to the library for a study date? You will discover that it’s much more easier to focus on your books when you are in a place that doesn’t allow disruption. You will also be spending time with each other while focusing on your studies It’s basically a win-win situation because. This way you are also both being positive influences to each other.
Be realistic and compromise where you can
Not all days will be sunny and provide a smooth sailing and that’s completely normal. You will get to understand that reality is much more significant than just planning in your head There will be days ahead whereby you are going to feel frustrated and think that this plan of balancing your relationship with your books and relationship was just a dream. Some days will require you to spend extra time with your books. There’s nothing wrong with prioritising your studies over a relationship. If your partner is genuine and has good intentions for you, then they will understand this provided you are both on the same page. Nothing and no one is perfect. But, talk to bae because nobody is a mind reader.
Communicate
This way, neither of you will be put in a difficult position of choosing whether to go on a date with bae or a date with your books. Both of you should recognise that school needs to come first. This way, when you do experience stress with your school work, he or she will understand. You BOTH need to be considerate of each other when it comes to this. You’ll be amazed by how much you will know about a person and what is happening in his/her life by just talking to them! So you need to communicate with your partner in order to find out what is happening in his/her life – especially when it comes to school. Once that discussion happens, you will know when their assignments are due, when exams start and when school closes.
