It's only been a month into summer vacation and I'm eagerly counting down the days till I can go back to school. Though I'm not ready for early morning classes, 10 page papers, and communal bathrooms again, I am ready to be back with the people that make it all worth it. When you go to college, most likely most of the people you meet aren't from your small town or big city. They come from all over, which definitely has its perks but has its drawbacks as well. The number 1 drawback is easy, when summer vacation rolls around you all become separated for 3 months and rely on snapchats, group chats, and FaceTime to keep in touch. Or, if you're like me and my roommate, you fly to each other because the distance is just too much. Here are 10 texts you send if you are in a long distance friendship with your college friends...
1. "You'll never guess what happened..."
You text this at least 7 times a day because you probably feel the need to fill in your friends with every detail of your life as if you were still living with each other.
2. "Call me."
Whether you're out in public alone and need to look like you have friends, are driving and can't listen to that Ed Sheeran song for the millionth time, or you just really need to hear their voice
3. "Did you see what *insert name* posted on Instagram today?"
You probably have that one person that is completely cringe worthy or surrounded by drama so when they are seen posting a scandalous picture or a picture with a person you wouldn't expect, you immediately text your friends about it"
4. "What should I eat?"
You're used to eating every meal and midnight snack together so it's only natural they still help you choose what to eat
5. "When are you coming to visit?"
Summer vacations to your friend's hometowns are a must even if its to a small town you normally wouldn't think of traveling to.
6. "Look at what I bought!"
Whether it's for your dorm next year or just a random TJ Maxx haul, you and your friends are always used to shopping sprees together so live through each other's finds
7. "Remember when..."
Because reliving random memories at 2:30 in the morning is always a good thing
8. "I'm bored, stop working."
Your schedules probably don't line up perfectly when you are apart and when you're looking for someone to talk to they may be up to their elbows in whatever work they do, which doesn't always work for you're boredom
9. "Does this look good?"
You're used to borrowing clothes from your roomie or getting fashion advice on that new top you just bought at Francesca's, so putting together you're own outfit alone is a struggle
10. "How many days till we go back?"
As much as you love summer vacation and seeing your home friends, you miss your college friends too and probably have an app to tell you how many days until the band gets back together again.
