Long distant relationships are hard with a boyfriend but even harder with a best friend. When you've had someone by your side your entire life, their sudden absence is not an easy thing to deal with. Moving across the country, this is something I have to deal with every day, and the struggle is real. Here are 10 reasons I have learned long distant friendships absolutely suck.
1. You don't always know what's going on with their life.
2. And when you try to find out, you end up playing a never-ending game of phone tag.
"Seriously?! 10 missed calls?!"
3. Time differences are your worst enemy because you always end up texting them at the worst times.
Like in the middle of their midterm...
4. You not only lost them but their entire wardrobe too.
And have to remake outfits accordingly.
5. They're not there to talk you out of bad life decisions.
Like eating junk at midnight or canceling that gym membership.
6. They're not on duty for 24/7 boy advice.
So you just kinda have to start going with your gut, which we all know never works.
7. Telling your other friends stories about them just makes you miss them more.
But those stories will never get old.
8. You have to procrastinate on your own now, without having someone to watch Netflix with.
Pushing off work is less guilting if you have someone supporting you.
9. You miss their entire family.
Yes, even the pets.
10. You know that no matter how hard you try, things are just never going to be the same.
But don't worry, we'll always be best friends.
