What It's Like Having A Boyfriend At A Different College

It's not long distance but it is.

What It's Like Having A Boyfriend At A Different College
Personal Photo

If you checked my Instagram right now, you would find that my most recent post is just about my boyfriend. All of the pictures are from Snapchat screenshots which I take of him almost- if not every single day. Today, I took 2 screenshots of Daniel, one of him sitting in car and then the second of him doing his homework.

A few days ago, he had the cheesy smile he makes and a white shirt that was captioned "Thinking of you my love." I love my small photo collection of all the cute Daniel Snap moments we have had. I'm in love with his smile and his way of saying things, especially when we start to Snap each other back and forth and they start to get funny.

On the days I wish he were here, I look through those photos and think about if I were the one to have taken them. What if I were the one holding the camera? Instead of the caption being in his point of view, it would be in mine. It would say something along the lines of "AWE, he was thinking of me and smiled!!" Instead of laughing at each other's silly faces on Snap, we would be laughing at them sitting on my bed and he would be trying to help me study for biology, but then get lost himself.

Unfortunately, fate said no on this one. Rather, it said "You guys are going to be great at this whole distance thing and if you aren't, well then too bad." Every weekend since I graduated, we have seen each other every weekend. I would travel the hour and a half to visit him or he would drive the hour and a half to visit me. We had the system worked out very well, and it works great. Until something comes up, or one of us has something planned that weekend instead or... you get the point.

Distance is hard! It's frustrating, too. My parents swear I love driving because I have driven so much since June that I'm not surprised that I need my brakes replaced, or I will eventually need an oil change... again. Right now to see my boyfriend, it is an hour and 31 minutes to get to Selinsgrove where my boyfriend go to college. Let me tell you, it's a pretty drive, but also a pretty long drive.

The great thing is that, he makes it all worth the driving and the long weeks and the needing new brakes. He makes having to pay to have a car at college, and also pay insurance on a car I use only twice a week all worth it. I love it when I go there with his room with no AC and I love when he comes here and we lay in my freezing cold room. It makes the time we do spend together the greatest ever because we are there together and while the time is limited, it's awesome to be there.

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.
