Sadly, sometimes you can’t always be with bae. Yes, it totally sucks but there are some things that aren’t so bad about it! To some people, being in a long distance relationship in college may seem scary, complicated or impossible!

But I am here to tell you that not only is it totally do-able, but, it actually has benefits! YES! BENEFITS! So the next time you're thinking of all the hardships of your LDR, you can remember all the best parts! It may not be ideal but stay positive and it will all work out!

1. Being able to eat foul smelling food

Tuna? Sure! Onions? Go for it! You never have to worry about having good breath for bae!


2. No more boy drama!

While everyone else is fighting over that one boy in physics class, you get to put your time into something way more productive!


3. Girls Night!

It’s fun to be able to hang out with your girl friends all the time! You never have to choose between your bae and your bff!


5. When you finally get to see each other

There is absolutely nothing better than giving the person you love a huge hug!


6. You get to have weekend getaways!

If you're lucky enough to be able to visit each other for a weekend, no matter where you are, it feels like the best vacation ever!


7. Waking up and doing your makeup no longer feels needed

Not feeling the need to find yourself a husband in your 8 a.m. math class is such a relief!


8. You know you can make it through anything

You’ve nailed your trust and communication skills and there is nothing more important than that!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.
