It's no secret that leaving the people you love is difficult. Being away from your best friend while both of you go to school is heartbreaking. There are new experiences you want to share with them, and talking 24/7 like you used to just isn't possible anymore. There are so many reasons why being away from them is the worst thing possible. But, this is the one long-distance relationship you're not willing to give up on.

1. No one knows you like they do.

2. You understand Meredith Grey and Cristina Yang's friendship because they're your person.

3. You miss their family nearly as much as you miss yours.

4. And you can't just walk into their house anymore.

5. Shopping with other people just isn't the same.

6. Which is even worse because no one else gets your vibe like they do.

7. You miss all of those much-needed sleepovers.

8. Impromptu dinner dates don't exist anymore.

9. It's very hard to be three hours away from your favorite study-buddy.

10. You can't be there for them when they need you most.

11. They can't be there to help you get ready for a big date.

12. Traditions you've developed together are slowly withering away.

13. FaceTime dance parties just aren't the same.

14. You miss them more than anything.
