5 Simple Ways To Navigate Your Long Distance Relationship


1. Pick a television show / book series

Whether you're a TV enthusiast or reader of books, one of the best ways to stay connected is picking a television show or book series to enjoy together. This is a perfect way to set aside time to watch an episode or read a chapter and afterward discuss your thoughts and opinions.


2. Thoughtful Gifts

Pick up a souvenir, postcard, or something unique from the town/city where you live. This is especially sweet if one of you⏤or both of you⏤travels a lot.


3. Phone Calls

This one may seem a bit obvious, but I don't think there is anything more swoon-worthy than an unexpected phone call that says, "I just called to tell you that I love you and I miss you," or, "I'm thinking about you," This speaks volumes. Unexpected and/or sporadic phone calls are a must.


4. Skype Dates

Let's be real, we're slaves to Skype and FaceTime while in a long distance relationship because without them we wouldn't be able to see our partners without physically being with them. Spice up your Skype / FaceTime date by preparing (or ordering) the same meal and enjoying a dinner for two while sharing your day with each other. Afterward, if your schedules permit, you can pick a movie to watch on Netflix together! Luckily there is a new app through Google Chrome called Showgoers which helps you do just that!


5. Handwritten Letters

While they may seem old fashioned, there is nothing more romantic⏤or intimate⏤than a handwritten letter from the one you love. Pick a subject. Like the first time you met, first date, or when you knew that you loved them. This is also a great keepsake for that beautiful day when you finally close the distance.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
