Whether They're 100 Or 1,000 Miles Away, Here's 10 Of The Greatest Perks Of Getting To See Your Long Distance BFFs

When you go to college, it's all too easy to fall out of touch with the people you considered your best friends in high school. However, it doesn't have to be that way, and it isn't all that bad. In fact, having a few long distance BFFs actually has its perks.

1. When you do meet up, you talk for HOURS.

Giphy

You have so much to tell them. You probably haven't seen them in at least a month, two months or maybe even more. That leaves room for lots and lots of talking. You try, but you just can't tell them everything over a simple text message. You're going to say so much they'll want you to stop talking (as if that's even possible).

2. You get to give them the biggest squeeze of ALL TIME.

Giphy

When you see them for the first time in forever, you get to give them a massive hug. You're honestly not going to want to let them go for a least a few minutes (maybe even hours, but who's counting).

3. You get to do all of your favorite things together.

Giphy

You can eat at all your favorite restaurants, paint your nails, watch your favorite movies and do everything you have missed doing without them.

4. You can spend some good old fashioned QUALITY TIME together.

Giphy

Maybe you go skating together, maybe you just sit and binge-watch a new TV show together, but either way, when you can finally reunite, you spend as much quality time together as possible.

5. You get that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Giphy

They're your best friends, and every time you see them (and especially when you haven't seen them in a long time), you get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. You're heart is smiling.

6. You spend way too much (in the best of ways)?

Giphy

You're frugal all year round, but when you and your besties are finally reunited, you spend money on ALL. THE. THINGS. Coffee, food, shopping and more. It's a real good time.

7. You get to see their parents (who are really your second parents).

Giphy

You love your best friends, but you love their parents too. It's a good time all around.

8. You get to go on the best adventures.

Giphy

Whether it's an adventure down the street, to the next town over or across the state, when you and your best friends are together, you go on the best adventures ever. Just being in the car with your best friends, driving down the street and listening to music, is a real good time.

9.  You treasure every second you spend together.

Giphy

Every moment you all spend together is extra special because you know you can't do it all the time. If anything, when your time is precious, so are the memories, no matter what.

10. You make the best memories.

Giphy

And on that note, you get to make the best of memories. They're special, and you'll treasure them forever because when it comes down to it, after you go to college, those memories become few and far between. However, that doesn't mean they're any less special.

No matter how long it has been, there's no greater feeling of friendship than the one you get when you finally reunite with your BFFs.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
