This week seems to be ripe with new beginnings. My last year of college started just a few days ago, which means everything’s changing around quite quickly. But let me backtrack for a moment to introduce myself. I am the founder of Good Clean Love’s daughter, a senior in college attending the University of Oregon and will graduate with a degree in public relations. I would like to announce the arrival of a new column on the Good Clean Love site. This column will be dedicated to all of us younger people, trying for the first time, to handle committed adult relationships.

Truthfully, it’s not very easy. Handling homework, a job, friends and a significant other can sometimes turn into what seems like a complicated juggling act. To add to that, we also must start thinking about what we’re going to do after college, and those transitions also don’t happen so smoothly. So the simple question is: how do you make it all work? And my answer is that, once a week, I’ll be here to talk to you about problems and successes in college relationships of all kinds. We’ll discuss how to make sex work, how to communicate with each other and how to balance each other’s needs, amongst others.

Until next week, I wish you all luck. Please be thinking about any current day issue you’d like me to discuss.

Ciao!
