should i sacrifice a week or school and $1000 to see my boyfriend for a wk?
its been 2 months since i haven't seen him, and if i don't see him soon then i wont see him till february which is in two more months. i am crazy about him, i know he is my life, and im willing to skip 4 days of school and a lot of money to see him for a week and a half. all my friends tell me its stupid, but i want it so badly, my heart is telling me yes yes yes!

I agree with the other person, $1,000 of your money isn't worth blowing on a short trip. If he wants to see you as badly, have him pay your way and costs and put up the $1,000 to see you . Otherwise, call and skype until then.

Of course you want to see him. When I went to college in another state, I was about as desperate as you were just to go spend a weekend with him.
But I didn't do it. I decided to be smart with my money.
You'd only get to see him for a week and in my opinion, $1000 isn't worth it. I believe that you can hold off till February. Just keep texting, calling and skpying.

This question requires some grandfatherly advice. Since I am of that age I will offer some.
While you may not want to believe that I was once in your very same position, back in the dark ages of Boom Boxes and 8 track recorders. I know exactly how you feel. Now with decades of behind me and raising of my children and helping raise my nieces I can look back and see what I did right and what I did wrong. This is where the wisdom of age comes from.
If you and your boyfriend are truly in love and I don't doubt for a minute you are not. Then the extra 2 months will make your seeing each other all the more meaningful and loving. With love it is possible to make up for lost time. With school work you might make up the work you missed but you will never make up the class time. As to the money whose money are you spending. yours or your parents? A $1,000 is a lot of money to spend money that can be better spent during spring break when you and your BF can be together longer and with possibly more privacy.
Today you have Skype, Facebook, cell phones and texting as well as other ways of instant communication. In my day we had Ma Bell and she was expensive. Depending on how long a distance that long distance phone call was and the time of day of the call it could cost over a $1.00 minute. Back then a dollar was worth a whole lot more than it is today.
With the social media we have today it is almost as good as being with someone. I know for I use to travel quite a bit. With my laptop and Skype I was home every evening no matter where in the world I was. I could look at my beautiful wife and kids. We had dinner together and I could do homework with the kids. I may not have been physically in the room but I was there.
All of this being said. My advice is if you and he have a computer and are not using something like Skype then start. It is the next best thing to being there. TO take time off from school and spend $1,000 on a romantic liaison is just not the right thing to do. School is the most important thing right now. You have plenty of time for romance when you are finished with your education.
I know I sound like a parent or a grandparent but I am being honest with you. I know you're hurting to see him. Young love is supposed to be like this. Just think how much more romantic it can be when you can see him and have the time to appreciate being with him. It's not stupid how you feel it's just not the proper use of you time, money or the education you're paying for.
