Default Trying to decide my primary focus

I've had a bit of trouble of late choosing a primary focus, because while I'm fostering an attitude of gratitude and feel I'm really getting somewhere, I can also see lots of different areas of my life that need improvement. I've narrowed it down to two options:

Relationships
I'm 21 and have never had a serious (or even non-serious) relationship. I feel that needs work because I'm a little behind everyone else, and working on my social skills and whatnot could help me a lot in later life. Plus it looks like fun

Business / Financial
I'm in my third year of college, and I've been thinking that since I've got a lot of free time coming up (I'm taking mostly self-study extension modules which require little actual teaching this semester coming), this would be a great time to grow a few small businesses (I've got three blogs at the moment, but only one is updated with any serious regularity - I also have other business ideas I'd like to pursue and see if I can get some passive income streams set up).

So what do you guys think? I figure I'm not going to have such a good opportunity for business growth once I'm out of college, but at the same time college is a great time for getting involved with the ladies, and also I am a little concerned that my doubts about pursuing relationships right now are manifestations of fear - it's something mostly new to me, after all.

If it's just the two, you could try switching them up. That is, make relationships your focus one month, the business the next. Be careful though, if/when you get a partner, you'll prolly be spending a lot more time with them, so you might not want to switch your focus the next month.
