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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
