Sadly, sometimes you can’t always be with bae. Yes, it totally sucks but there are some things that aren’t so bad about it! To some people, being in a long distance relationship in college may seem scary, complicated or impossible!

But I am here to tell you that not only is it totally do-able, but, it actually has benefits! YES! BENEFITS! So the next time you're thinking of all the hardships of your LDR, you can remember all the best parts! It may not be ideal but stay positive and it will all work out!

1. Being able to eat foul smelling food

Tuna? Sure! Onions? Go for it! You never have to worry about having good breath for bae!


2. No more boy drama!

While everyone else is fighting over that one boy in physics class, you get to put your time into something way more productive!


3. Girls Night!

It’s fun to be able to hang out with your girl friends all the time! You never have to choose between your bae and your bff!


5. When you finally get to see each other

There is absolutely nothing better than giving the person you love a huge hug!


6. You get to have weekend getaways!

If you're lucky enough to be able to visit each other for a weekend, no matter where you are, it feels like the best vacation ever!


7. Waking up and doing your makeup no longer feels needed

Not feeling the need to find yourself a husband in your 8 a.m. math class is such a relief!


8. You know you can make it through anything

You’ve nailed your trust and communication skills and there is nothing more important than that!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
