1. They tell you they're thinking about studying abroad for a semester and you're happy for them!
2. The end of the semester hits and you realize that the day is coming a lot sooner than you think.
3. You eventually have to say goodbye...
How can I live without you for four whole months?
4. You get back to school next semester and everything seems different...
5. You feel like you need to get a hobby.
It's like you have 10x more free time (but you don't even want it because you JUST WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND).
6. Your friend gets adjusted abroad and they start sending you all their pictures.
They're having SO much fun and you're super happy for them.
7. But you also start to get jealous.
8. You both know that it would be WAY better if you were abroad together.
9. Still, the pictures keep coming and you just keep missing your friend... so you comment on everything.
It's sassy, but it's filled with love.
10. The only thing that's getting you through all of this is that you're texting 24/7.
iMessage, What's App, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger... Literally everything and always.
11. But service abroad is spotty abroad and sometimes you're all alone.
... so you end up texting their boyfriend (oops).
12. And, as much fun as your friend is having, they start to miss you, too.
I mean, it's to be expected, you're awesome.
13. Whenever there's any sort of news at school they're still the first person you turn to.
10,000 miles ain't nothing when they ~just understand you~
14. So frequent skype sessions are a must.
...because, sometimes, you just can't type fast enough.
(even when it's super late at night and you both look awful... that's a sacrifice you're willing to make.)
15. And, no, time zone differences cannot keep you apart.
16. So, as much fun as they're having and as happy for them as you are, you're still counting down the days until they come home.
But you're never sure if you can last that long.
17. And the day can't come soon enough!
