What it's like doing long distance...

The day I chose to not go to college where my boyfriend went was the day I knew things would get difficult. We are both from the same hometown, living 5 minutes down the road from each other. We did the long distance thing for a couple months while he was finishing his first year of college as I was quickly finishing up my Senior year. It was easy because I was in high school and he could come home and visit me while visiting his family, so coming home on the weekends weren't a problem. Now that we are both at separate colleges 2 and a half hours away from each other its pretty difficult visiting each other when we are both trying to enjoy our college lives. So this means many facetime dates and 2 hour drives for us. Some may say long distance is "stupid" or not worth their time. But making it work through college for the one you love is 100% worth it and it is going more smoothly than I thought.
