5 Signs You're In A Long Distance Relationship
Giphy

Long distance relationships (LDRs) are just a part of life for some. Whether you're going to college 5 states away, your partner is in the military, or they took a job offer on the other side of the country you will be able to relate.

1. Skype is your best friend.

Skype is an amazing invention for anyone in an LDR. Whether it's a Skype dinner date, homework session or just calling to chat, you couldn't live without it.

2. You roll your eyes when someone complains about not being able to see their significant other for a week.

Oh, you can't see your boyfriend for five days? Wow, can't imagine how rough that would be.

3. You anxiously await getting packages in the mail.

Waiting for cards and packages can be grueling. Mail day is your new favorite day.

4. You have countdowns until you see each other.

You probably already have your next visit planned by the time you say goodbye again, and the countdown starts that day. It may be tedious but it helps get you through!

5. You make the most of the time you have together.

Seeing each other is like Christmas and your birthday combined! You no longer waste your time together sitting on your phones and not talking, but you take advantage of whatever time you have together to go out and do something fun!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
