What It's Like To Have The Long Distance Relationship Feels
Pixels

I’ve only been away from my boyfriend (and best friend!) for a month, but it’s given me a bitter taste of what it’s like to be in a long distance relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I am a very independent young woman with lots to keep me busy like working hard, keeping up with Netflix and hanging out with my dog or my friends but, something about this boy’s presence is special. I miss the energy he brings to my days with big smiles and laughs and little moments that can only be shared in person. One of my coping strategies has been talking with my friends about their experiences with being away from their cutie and that’s when I realized I was having the symptoms of the long distance relationship feels.

Symptoms are as follows:

1. Seeing Couples in public makes your heart ache

2. You feel the need to watch love movies to remember what romance is like.

3. You may realize that it’s been a month (or more) since you’ve shaved your legs.

4. You try to fit him into every conversation with anyone ever by accident (and sometimes on purpose).

5. You immediately react to anything important by texting/calling him or wanting to tell him.

6. You imagine and continue to obsess and recreate a specific vision of what it will be like to see him for the first time.

7. You hope he isn’t texting and driving.

8. You wonder and pray he remembers what you look like outside of FaceTime.

9. When you hear songs on the radio that even vaguely remind you of him you feel that it is meant for you.

10. You find comfort in the perfect satisfaction of the moment when miles and months become millimeters and minutes.

Such feels may be common in those who are:

1. Exposed to prolonged periods of time without their ‘hunny bunny.’

2. Leading busy lives without the ability to constantly communicate with their ‘bae.'

3. Have a positive relationship in which spending time with their ‘significant other’ is valued and cherished.

Those affected by these feels have found that the only real cure is to be reunited with a hug from their ‘person,’ and side effects from this type of treatment may include:

1. Dizziness upon standing.

2. Shortness of breath.

3. Increased heart rate.

4. Extreme Happiness.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
