Relationship experts, I need your advice! Although I’m a Libra, and I’m supposed to be balanced, my life is anything but. I suffer from the classic divide between whether to focus on a career or on a boyfriend.

Most girls grow up with either a successful career or a successful family. So far, at the age of 20, I’m on a one-way street to the career. I’m the kind of person who constantly needs to be busy. I’ve never gone more than three weeks without having a job, and if I’m not in class I’m running a club meeting or planning a sorority function. Sometimes it’s hard to find time for a shower, let alone dinner with the new guy in my English class.

I don’t think a girl should ever sacrifice her future for a guy (after all, my hard work got me this amazing internship!), but mastering the composition of a professional email sort of looses its shine when my roommates are sitting beside me, planning cute weekends in New York with their boyfriends on the phone. I want that too, but up until this point, I haven’t been able to figure out how to sacrifice enough of my time to make a relationship work.

It’s cost me big. While there are some guys who weren’t worth my time at all, I’ve passed up a few who were. Now that summer is here, and I’m in this amazing city, I’ve realized that I need more in my life than just work, work, work.

So tell me, how do you find time for yourself and for guys?

Bisous,
