Holidays And Long Distance As Told By The Grinch
Bethany Fulk

The holidays have been in full swing, and Christmas is now behind us. If you’re anything like me, Christmas is the most wonderful and magical time of the year. I live for the hot chocolate, the family time and the presents don’t hurt either. One thing that’s always hard though is the fact that my boyfriend lives hundreds of miles away and I can’t share my annoying love of Christmas with him. The feelings I have throughout the holiday season without him can be hard to explain to others who just don't understand or have their own significant others with them. Never fear, here's the Grinch on my feelings during the holidays in a long distance relationship.

When They Say It'll Go By Fast

Who are they kidding? The months will drag on.

When You Have No Idea What To Do When They Aren't There

Food becomes your only solace.

Waiting For Them To Text You Back Like

A minute seems like hours.

When You Try To Plan Your Days

What else are you supposed to do?

Seeing All Your Friends Post Cute Holiday Pictures With Their S/O

They're just having so much fun with each other! Why are they so cute! I want cute pictures!

When Bae Is Busy

You have no one else to talk to.

When You Get Invited Somewhere And Realize They Won't Be There

They would just love the ugly sweater party!

When They Say They'll Come See You

Counting down the days....

When You Finally See Them Again

YAY!!!!!

Don't let your heart shrink three size too small! The good news is, you'll see your boyfriend or girlfriend sooner than you think! In the meantime, don't forget to enjoy the season with your family and friends that are there. You can always Snapchat every moment to your love and it'll be like they were there the whole time. Good thing winter days are shorter than summer! You'll be back together in no time.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
