It Sucks Not Living With The One You Love

Can we live together already?

When people are starting with new relationships, we can enjoy being together quite a bit. Even after the honeymoon phase ends, feelings can still be as strong as ever. When couples don't live near each other, it makes things harder than things need to be. Maybe one isn't quite over a long term relationship, maybe the two of you aren't financially ready to move in together. It sucks being apart from each other.

For one, the extended periods of time you two spend together are wonderful. Running errands with each other, eating breakfast together, cooking dinner together, binge-watching Netflix shows all night; everything you do together make you genuinely happy. Sleepovers for consecutive days help you understand who you're with, they can help you envision your lives together. Even if work keeps you on separate schedules, you'll still come home and fall asleep with your love. There's no better feeling.

However, there are nights where you can't be together. The examples are endless; yet it still doesn't seem like it's a good enough reason to be away. You can't sleep without them by your side, you can't think of anything else but your sweetheart. You text them relentlessly. You Snapchat them every time you think about them, which happens to be incessantly. You find memes that they'd love on Twitter and send them repeatedly. You yearn for them, you miss them even though you've only been apart for a few hours. You know leaving hurts when your love starts to tear up when you gather your things to leave.

Being apart from the one you love is rough. Be it school putting you hundreds of miles away, the military putting one of you on the other side of the globe, or living two towns over, the situations are endless. I can't stress it enough - if you care enough about the one you're with, don't let some distance get between the two of you. If things are meant to be, they will be.

When you two are ready, move in together. It'll be the be best thing to happen to the two of you, and it's the perfect dry run for the long term. It'll strengthen your relationship in ways you'll never have thought possible, and the struggles you'll go through together will fortify your partnership exponentially.

Yes, it's hard being away from your love right now. But once you get past this weird stage of going back and forth between houses and make the move to live together, things will be much easier. You and your love will be even more inseparable than before, and the two of you will grow into who you are supposed to be, as a couple.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
