I'd just like to state the fact that I agree that there is a huge difference between 18 and 21. There's a huge difference between 18 and 19! I can see that already and I'm not quite 20.
I already gave my advice but since other people are telling their stories, I've decided to give mine too. When I first went away to college, I broke up with the guy I'd been dating. We'd been together for a year and a half but we were going to be halfway across the country from each other so we figured it wouldn't work. We both ended up being lonely and homesick first semester and decided to get back together over Thanksgiving break. As soon as I got back to school second semester I saw how much of a mistake this was -- second semester was so much better than the first and I was becoming a completely different person. I broke up with him over spring break and never looked back. I should have never gotten back together with him in the first place.
Not a single one of the "high school sweethearts" I know made it past spring break of their freshman year. You just change and grow too much over the course of college, and if you're in different places you probably will grow apart.
