The Truth About Long-Distance Relationships

Long-distance relationships while in college are very hard. Finding time to drive or fly to each other can be difficult sometimes. But when the love is large, the distance (no matter how far) will seem very small.

Communication is one of the most important things in a long-distance relationship. It's necessary to text, call & FaceTime whenever you get the chance. Knowing what's going on in your significant other's life will make you feel closer together!

Trust each other. The beauty of long-distance relationships is that both of you get to live your independent lives while still living a life together. Long distance relationships are built on a lot of trust. When you have trust in your love, you have it all.

Effort!!!! Long-distance relationships take way more effort than normal relationships, and little things go a long way. A simple act such as writing cute little notes can make a huge positive impact on your relationship!

Love is, hands-down, the most important aspect of any relationship! When the love is strong, the distance doesn't matter at all. When there is a lot of love in a long-distance relationship, the communication and trust will come naturally, and the effort will be easy when you're willing to put your all into your significant other and your relationship.

Long-distance relationships aren't easy, and sometimes it's easy to feel sad and lonely. But you have to look at your long-distance relationship as a good thing, as an opportunity. Being long-distance gives you the chance to learn to live apart before living together.

However, the time apart will make you cherish the time you have together even more.

Distance shouldn't matter when the love is strong and real!!!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
