4 Perks Of Having Long-Distance Friendships

I don't know about you but in college, I have many long-distance friendships because unfortunately all of my home friends went to different Universities. Although we can all sob and be sad about it, there are a few perks when it comes to long-distance best friends.

1. You have someone to visit

I have the best time whenever I visit my friends at their new "home away from home." It is so much fun creating new memories not only at home but at their universities as well. It is almost like if it were one of those merged episodes o0f two different shows, you have your high school friends and then your college friends meet and hang out for the first time. My favorite place to visit is Florida State (sorry UCF people), but I love being able to see their new environment and meet the people they spend every day with.

2. You have someone to call and facetime

I love being able to come back to my apartment after a long day at school and call my bestie to let her know the 411. With calling and informing them it is so much better to ask your long-distance friends for advice because they are not biased and will give you the real tea. I love being able to come together on the phone and talk about everything that is going on in our lives, it's almost as if I am there with them.

3. Getting to see them during breaks

This is what I look forward to 24/7, BREAKS! Breaks are the best just because you get to fully reunite with your besties you do not get to see on the daily. During breaks, it almost feels as if it were just like "old times" again. I love being able to do fun activities with my besties and catch up on life.

4. You know they are one of the good ones

By this time if you guys are still friends you most definitely know they will be in your life forever. This person you have by your side after you guys literally live thousands of miles away from each other are your friends for life. They know everything from when you guys were little to know, so hold on to them tight and make sure to tell them that you love and appreciate them.

P.S. you guys know who you are and I love you all so very much.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
