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.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
