An Open Letter to my Long Distance BF/GF

I miss you and I love you.

An Open Letter to my Long Distance BF/GF
Abby Krysczak

Dear BF/GF,

I really miss you. That’s the first thing I can think about saying because it’s the first thing I realize when I wake up in the morning and the last when I go to bed at night. I miss looking you in those big blue eyes or kissing you while we’re watching Glee. You’re all I think about and you’re all that my mind seems to be consumed with. Good thing is I know I will see you soon and I know that this distance will not be a factor to alter our relationship.

No one ever said long-distance relationships were fun and no one ever said that they would be easy. What everyone considers long-distance is different to each person, but for me I consider our two-hour separation long distance. It’s not just twenty minutes away anymore and seeing each other can’t be done at the drop of a hat. This is something we’ve had to accept time and time again. But I can definitely say that you’re worth it. You’re worth the hard nights and the crappy days because when I finally get to see you, whether it’s the next week or the next month, it’s more than I could have ever hoped for.

This distance also has given us both the opportunity to grow as individuals, while seeing the big picture. It’s given me time especially to come to terms with my anxieties, to accept things I cannot change and to love you more through those things.

I do want to just say that I really do love you. I know I tell you all the time over our hour-long FaceTime calls or in a SnapChat selfie, but I really truly love you. You make life so exciting and you give me exactly what I need. I never thought I would know what I want forever at this age, but I know what I want and need is you. I hate being two hours apart because you know me, I’m needy and my back needs to be rubbed at least two times a week or I’m crabby and I miss you when I’m going out and doing something fun because I automatically know it would be more fun with you there. But no matter what, I still love you.

Thank you for putting in just as much effort as possible, because without both of us contributing, it just simply wouldn’t be half as amazing as it is. Thank you for staying up with me on the phone for hours some nights when I’m sobbing about how much I miss you. Thank you for surprising me sometimes and coming here when I least expected you to. Most importantly, thank you for loving me unconditionally even if we are two hours away.

I love you so much. XOXO

Love always,

Me.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
