An Ode To Those In Long Distance Relationships

You guys are the real heroes.

I’ve had to have a long distance relationship since December and I can say it’s by far, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

I don’t know how some people can do long distance for years. This has been one of the most emotionally exhausting times. You guys are saints that can do this for years.

My boyfriend and I were only dating 3 months at the time we were forced in to long distance. We’ve tried writing letters, we’ve tried looking forward to our “us time”, we have tried everything the articles say online, but there’s just this constant nagging pain when we are apart and I’ve read that it’s normal to have, but there must be some way to cope with it.

You who do long distance for longer term must be superhuman. I support you fully, but as a girl who loves her cuddles, I don’t know how you do this. I miss him all the time, and it’s not a normal miss. It’s an overly needy miss, it’s like someone has stolen my best friend. This has been the longest time of my life.

I miss him every day. I don’t understand how you in long distance relationships can function. I feel so miserable with out him. Yeah, okay, you have to, but more times than not all I want to do is call out every day and burn my vacation time. So to you people who manage long term, long distance relationships, I wish you the best, and you all have the patience of a saint.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
