If you are in a long distance relationship I'm sure you know by now that sometimes it can be hard sometimes. It might be hard to talk to them depending on if they are in a different time zone making the hours hard, or country so it says connecting every five minutes you are on Skype. Or maybe these are just my problems. But either way, I'm sure you miss seeing them in person and doing all the fun things you would do together if your significant other was there with you. So here are a few things you can do from a world apart to help you feel closer and value the time you guys can talk to each other.

1. Watch a movie or show together

Set your laptop right in front of you when you Skype and start playing the same movie at the same time.

2. Eat together

Have a romantic candle lit dinner but just place your laptop across from you at the dinner table

3. Play video games together

This is the one me and my boyfriend do the most. He taught me how to play Pubg when were were together so we could play and talk when he went back to his country. Its a bunch of fun I definitely would try this one

4. Go on tour

Have your significant other take you on a Skype tour of the area they live in so you can see all the places they get to see every day. Then you can also do the same for them.

5. Cook together

This could be as simple as you both cook your favorite ramen together or you both can make the same five-course meal. It brings you a sense of comfort and makes it feel like your partner is home.

6. Read to each other

You can take turns reading out of your favorite books. Or you can read to your partner as they fall asleep, like when they were little.

7. Play board games together

you can set up the game and have one person physically move the piece which can be challenging or you can look um the online version of that game

8. Have a paint night

Both of you turn on the same Bob Ross video at the same time and start painting together. Or you can freestyle it but are nice.

9. Just chill

When we are together most of the time we just chill out together, so its supper easy to call them up so you can just chill together and talk about your lives.

10. Plan a trip to visit each other

This one is self explanatory, and it gives you something to look forward to.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
