Going to college on the other side of the country has tested many of my friendships. From California to Maine, my friends and I are scattered across the U.S. It has never been easy, keeping up with each other's lives, but somehow, we always make time for one another, even with our more-than-hectic schedules. So here, I present what long-distance friendships are like through GIFs.
1. The first greeting of a call when you both haven't talked in what seems like forever
2. The long strand of text messages you send each other after a particularly tough day
3. The (almost) monthly group Skype dates
4. Seeing what they're up to on Facebook and feeling a bit sad because you're not there to be happy with them
5. When you realize that you're months away from seeing them in-person again
6. Planning all your future group adventures for summer break
7. You'll always have each other's back, even when you're in another state
8. That one inside joke someone mentions that just reminds you of all the good times in high school
9. Bawling your eyes out once in a while because you miss them so much
10. Blasting their social media when it's their birthday because you can't be there in person
11. Reconnecting after finals are over
