What It's Like To Have The Long Distance Relationship Feels
Pixels

I’ve only been away from my boyfriend (and best friend!) for a month, but it’s given me a bitter taste of what it’s like to be in a long distance relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I am a very independent young woman with lots to keep me busy like working hard, keeping up with Netflix and hanging out with my dog or my friends but, something about this boy’s presence is special. I miss the energy he brings to my days with big smiles and laughs and little moments that can only be shared in person. One of my coping strategies has been talking with my friends about their experiences with being away from their cutie and that’s when I realized I was having the symptoms of the long distance relationship feels.

Symptoms are as follows:

1. Seeing Couples in public makes your heart ache

2. You feel the need to watch love movies to remember what romance is like.

3. You may realize that it’s been a month (or more) since you’ve shaved your legs.

4. You try to fit him into every conversation with anyone ever by accident (and sometimes on purpose).

5. You immediately react to anything important by texting/calling him or wanting to tell him.

6. You imagine and continue to obsess and recreate a specific vision of what it will be like to see him for the first time.

7. You hope he isn’t texting and driving.

8. You wonder and pray he remembers what you look like outside of FaceTime.

9. When you hear songs on the radio that even vaguely remind you of him you feel that it is meant for you.

10. You find comfort in the perfect satisfaction of the moment when miles and months become millimeters and minutes.

Such feels may be common in those who are:

1. Exposed to prolonged periods of time without their ‘hunny bunny.’

2. Leading busy lives without the ability to constantly communicate with their ‘bae.'

3. Have a positive relationship in which spending time with their ‘significant other’ is valued and cherished.

Those affected by these feels have found that the only real cure is to be reunited with a hug from their ‘person,’ and side effects from this type of treatment may include:

1. Dizziness upon standing.

2. Shortness of breath.

3. Increased heart rate.

4. Extreme Happiness.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
