7 Things That Only Long-Distance BFFs Understand

If ever the time comes that you and you best friends no longer live in the same city, it will be rough. I mean, you go from seeing them all of the time, to almost never and that isn't exactly ideal. However, if it is mutually accepted that this friendship has to work out, you are most likely familiar with the following:

1. Missing them all of the time

This is kind of self-explanatory. Missing your best friends seems kind of obvious but sometimes it will surprise you how much you actually do. It's like, a lot.

2. You forget that they have lives.

If your friend is ever occupied or takes longer than usual to answer a text, it almost always feels like a personal attack on you. In reality though, they're busy, just like you. You're just being annoying.

3. You would give just about anything to do everyday things with them.

Doing anything with them would be great, but it's the little things like going shopping or doing your nails together that makes it feel the most like when they were around all of the time.

4. Hearing about their lives brings you immense joy.

They could be telling you all about a new guy they like or what they bought at the grocery store, but you'll listen to either with the utmost excitement. It doesn't really matter what is being discussed, you're just excited to be talking to them.

5. You wish you could be there to defend them when things aren't going so well.

They know that if they seriously needed you, that you would be there A.S.A.P to throw some deserved shade at whoever.

6. You are constantly looking forward to the next time you'll see them.

From the minute you leave their side, you are counting down the days, minutes, seconds until you see them again because you miss them already and the thought of when you guys do get together gets you excited.

7. When you do finally see each other, it's like no time has passed.

It doesn't matter how long it has been, when you do see your BFF, it feels like no time at all has passed but you obviously still hug them as if it's been forever.

Obviously having your best friend live so far away isn't the ideal scenario, but having a friendship like yours makes it all worth it. Through everything that a long-distance friendship throws at you, you know that at the end of the day, you always have someone rooting for you - no matter how many miles are between you.

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?
