Long distance relationships are hard. Whether you're going off to school, or you've always been in a long distance relationship, it can be tricky. Here are a few things that you know too well if you're in one.

1. The beauty of Skype/FaceTime.

Yes, talking on the phone is wonderful. BUT, being able to look at each other talking is so much better. Seeing what the person is feeling is as close as you can get to being face to face.

2. Having to deal with everyone questioning your relationship.

Anyone in a long distance relationship has been questioned during their time together. Trust me, hearing the words "Being in a long distance relationship never works!" doesn't ever gets any less annoying. Lets be honest, it's going to work if you're willing to give it your all.

3. Seeing certain things and thinking of your boyfriend/girlfriend.

There's always a restaurant, coffee shop, book store, or park that will always trigger a memory with your bf/gf. It's hard seeing a certain place and realizing that you don't have that person by your side as you make new memories there, but it doesn't erase your previous memories with that person. You'll have more moments with your person, each just as special as the last.

4. Counting down the days until you get to see them again.

Knowing that you'll be able to see your bf/gf soon is one of the best feelings. Each day you wake up is one less sleep until you get to be face to face with them again, and it's a wonderful feeling.

5. Knowing how hard it is to say goodbye after you've spent time together.

When you finally get to spend time with each other it is wonderful. You get to be face to face and make countless memories. Trying to jam pack everything into your short allotted time together always makes the time go by quickly. Sadly, it has to end. Saying goodbye will always be the hardest part of a long distance relationship, it just never gets easier. You cry and hold onto each other until the last possible second, then you let go, put a smile on your face, and realize that you'll see them again soon.
