7 Things You Do If Your BFF Is 6 Hours Away From You

There are a lot of things you miss from home when you finally move out of your parent's house. Your mom and dad, your little sibling, your family dog... but for me worst of all is missing my best friend who goes to another school six hours away. For the past three years, we've figured it out and still been attached at the hip. But here are common things that happen with us and I'm sure that happen with you and your BFF too!

1. You miss each other

Once or maybe twice a week I send my fav gal pal the very much used "I MISS YOU SO MUCH" text. It is quickly followed up by a quick catch up on school, boys, last night's adventures and whatever else comes to mind. You usually include a few relevant gifs.

2. You try to learn their new schedules.


Sometimes I need to tell my BFF something minuscule like how good my iced coffee in between class was. Nine times out of 10, she's in class, at the gym or just unavailable. And nine times out of 10 when she calls me back, I'm the same.

3. You fall in love with their new friends

One of the greatest things about college is all of the new friends you make. Some of my friends I met at school will be bridesmaids in my wedding one day. Like me, my bestie six hours away has made new gal friends too! At first, it's weird knowing they tell someone new all of their secrets and see them every day like they used to see you. But after meeting these chicks, I fell in love with them too. Leave it to my BFF to meet the most fun, coolest, greatest friends she could find. And now when I come visit, I look forward to seeing them too!

4. Send memes, lots of memes

I think I sent four just today! Being friends for years comes with a ton of inside jokes. Sometimes I laugh harder at a funny pic because I know my best friend will think it's funny too. She usually thinks it is or she just replies with a "you're so weird." I'm used to that too.

5. Gossip about your hometown

My bestie and I come from a small town. Everyone knows most everyone and everyone loves some juicy gossip. Whether it be scrolling through the latest mug shots or chatting about that girl who was in that guy's Snapchat last night, we catch everything. Sometimes when it's hard to talk about things in our current life that the other might not be able to follow, it's easy to bond over something we both know really well.

6. Send ugly pics to each other.

Exhibit C:

(Don't kill me!)

7. You send the usual, "I'm coming home!!!!!" texts.

The best of all!!! I love love love when my BFF and I coordinate a play date back at home together! Where it's only an hour back for me, her six-hour drive usually requires long phone calls to keep her occupied and awake. Wine nights and sweet cuddles back home are the best in the world!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
