9 Great Things About A Long Distance Relationship
  • You learn to cherish your time together
    Since seeing each other is rare, you always look forward to it with butterflies in your stomach.Plus you learn to make every second count since you're not always there.
  • There’s excitement to the anticipation of seeing your significant other
    Countdowns, hearts around dates, and excitement are constant and become part of your every day life. Looking at the clock slowly tick on the days you're suppose to see your significant other can be a drag, but good thing there is shared locations now!
  • Less effort getting ready in the morning
    Depending on where you are, or how long you’ve been dating someone, there’s a certain pressure to look presentable. It’s a good thing you can off days when your boyfriends not around.
  • Being able to bond with other people
    Making new friends and long lasting relationships is the best part of college, so don’t let being in a relationship change that! You can have time for friends and your significant other separately.
  • Communication builds stronger
    It may not seem like it, but its hard work constantly putting effort into texts and conversations, but they help strengthen the relationship anyways.
  • You take advantage of FaceTime and every free second.
    Thank god for FaceTime, which helps make sure you never forget the small details of your partners face and goofy personality. Plus, even a few minuted between classes turns into a phone call just to hear their voice.
  • “Me” time
    This is important for everyone to make sure they get their own time for themselves, so there’s a benefit of never always being with someone. You do not want to get sick of over spending time with someone.
  • More time to focus on school work
    May seem odd, but it’s true! Without the distraction of someone constantly touching you, you have more time to study and get work done without wondering about the other person thinking you’re being distant.
  • When you do see them, it’s the best feeling ever.
    Finally being able to wrap your partner up in your arms and cuddle all night after not seeing them for a few weeks is defiantly the best part of a long distance relationship.
  • In the end, it will be for the better.
    The best way to figh through the long drags of not seeing each other is reminding yourself that youre doing it to better the future for the both of you.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
