Plebe Struggling

So “the glamor has worn off?” Welcome to life, my friend. The glamor of most things wears off. A school. A job. A house. Even a GF.

In most cases, you ultimately reach a higher level of satisfaction. That’s why people stay in jobs, in communities and in relationships.

My mother said: dating is about romantic dinners in fancy restaurants. Marriage is about dirty socks. Yet we also build an intimacy in a successful marriage that doesn’t need a romantic dinner to sustain it.

Watching a parade is fun. Marching in one, not so much. Yet there’s a certain pride that most of us feel during a parade, even as we dislike the actual doing.

WRT USNA, you’ll either find that higher sense of purpose and satisfaction, or you won’t. I can guarantee it won’t happen in 6 weeks of PS.

As others have said, give it a year. See where you are and where your GF is at that time. She’s worth waiting for — as are you.
 
By the time you read this, you will already have your phone back and will be able to communicate with the outside world again. That's both good and bad. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking social media pictures/post reflect real life. I'm not even discussing the girlfriend thing but, too many young adults your age fall into the "fomo" category and believe that everyone else has a better life than they do. Truth is, they don't.
 
If you want to quit for well thought out reasons, do so at the end of the semester or year so you can go to another college with some credits. Do not quit for a girl.
