14 Stages of Reuniting with Long-Distance Friends

It is crazy to think that the friends you once spent almost every minute of the day with turn into friends you will eventually see every once in a blue moon. Whether you went to sleepaway camp with this friend or you know this friend from college or home, you have at least one long-distance friend in your life. Being away from friends is never fun, whether you are one mile away or over 500 miles away. Some may say that distance is just a number, but that distance should not be an obstacle that gets in the way of friendship.

When you reunite with long-distance friends, there is truly nothing better than the feeling you get when you see them again. And if you have ever been in this situation, here is how you would know...


1. The separation anxiety is real

You already miss your long distance friend as soon as you leave her/him. You cannot bear to be apart. You FaceTime and call each other on the phone every day, but it is not the same as actually hanging out in person.

2. Setting the date to reunite with your friend

"So I will meet you here at this time on this day, right?"

3. Realizing you are actually going to see your friend

4. Jumping up and down because of your excitement

There is an overload of happiness. You are dancing around all over the place and you do not care about how ridiculous you look celebrating the plans you just made with your long-distance friend.

5. Telling everyone

You are so excited about the plans you made with your long-distance friend, so you go and tell all of your friends about these plans. May as well tell the whole world, right?

6. There is a countdown

Days, hours, minutes and seconds are all kept track of. At this point in time, the countdown is the only thing that is helping you make it through the day.

7. The "I can't wait to see you" text messages

Basically the stage in which you try to top how excited to see your friend.

"I'm so excited to see you!" "No, I am more excited!"

8. The night-before phone call

"We are still having plans tomorrow, right? I need to double-check because I really do not want you to bail on me."

9. Planning your outfit the night before instead of on the day of

A "reunited" picture will definitely be taken for Instagram and all other social media sites. Therefore, a trendy outfit must be worn for the picture. You obviously need to look your best if you are going to see one of your best long-distance friends.

10. Not being able to sleep the night before

You pull an all-nighter because you cannot sleep. Your excitement for tomorrow keeps your mind racing and sleep is just not an option for the night.

11. The excitement when you wake up the morning of reuniting with your long-distance friend

The day is finally here!

12. Nearly tackling your friend

When you are just too excited and your body cannot handle it.

13. Alerting every social media site that you and your friend reunited

14. Finally being reunited

Nothing better than this.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
