Every year, there comes the dreaded time where you have to say goodbye to your college BFF as you head your separate ways for the summer. No one likes to do this, it makes summer vacation less exciting. Here are seven moments all long-distance college BFFs experience over the summer.

1. Leaving school at the end of the semester

Leaving your best friend isn't an easy thing to do. In fact, you never really want to leave them and you always go back for "just one more hug."

2. First week of summer

After seeing each other every day, two days apart is a struggle. You feel bored without the constant company of your best friend.

3. First half of summer when you want to talk 24/7

"OMG! So I met this cute boy and he asked me out on a date!!! What should I do? What should I wear? What if he is the one?!"

"What does he look like? Is he smart? What should does he go to?"

"Oh wait I just found his social media accounts, I'll let you know."

4. When one BFF gets busy and doesn't reply fast enough

Vacations and cool summer activities can be distracting from long-distance friendships. However, real BFFs pull through the summer annoyances.

5. When one BFF does cool stuff and the other is stuck working a crappy, part-time summer job

Trying to stay modest about cool summer activities while your BFF is stuck working 24/7. My best friend went to Spain recently, and let's be real, I hated her for it (in a jealous way of course).

6. Talking about how much you miss each other and all the things you will do next time you see each other

As summer draws to a close and the fun activities end, you think about how long it has been since you have seen your BFF. It's time to start talking about plans for the next school year, like a bucket list!

7. Reuniting again in Fall semester

This says it all. This is the reaction most best friends have as they reunite for the first time in months.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
