My boyfriend and I will both be starting college in mid August and are determined to stay together. We have a strong relationsip and breaking up at the end of the summer has never been an option. I'm starting to get really sad and depressed knowing we only have a month left together though. We're used to seeing each other 5 or 6 days a week and now going to colleges 5 hours apart we will obviously not see each other that much. I'll be in college for six years and he only has to go for two at the most so the plan was for him to move near my school and then we'll live together. So I'm looking at two years of only seeing him once or twice a month during the school year and possibly the summer. He's going to a technical school that might not get summer's off.
Basically I need some tips on how to go day to day without driving myself crazy from missing him. I know you'll say 'keep busy' and I know I'll have tons of work with my major but he's still always going to be on my mind. He's not my first love but he's the one I've loved the most and I don't know how I'm going to do this.

So switch to the same phone company so you get unlimited calls between eachother and text. You can email as well. Then there's web cams too!
Now that I've answered your question, Can I be real for a second? Thank you :) You are going to college! That's great! I'm not even talking about that I'm talking about in life you learn and grow. There is no stepping around it, You will change and so will he. Don't hold yourself back because of a relationship of any sort! and I would tell him the same thing. I'm not sayin to go to school and perform in girls gone wild and never talk to him again.I'm saying know its ok to allow yourself to experience life and college. Now I know a lot of people have told you both that. Know this! Real love WILL NOT falter, waiver or fade! If it is meant to be it will be! However! I believe college may show you some new new! (Ebonics for new stuff!) You will see! ;)

Sometimes, you will miss him...terribly. All in all, its survivable. In fact, some friends of mine went through almost the exact same situation...and after 7 years of dating they are getting married in September. Not gonna say its easy, but possible.
