What It's Like Having A Boyfriend At A Different College

It's not long distance but it is.

What It's Like Having A Boyfriend At A Different College
Personal Photo

If you checked my Instagram right now, you would find that my most recent post is just about my boyfriend. All of the pictures are from Snapchat screenshots which I take of him almost- if not every single day. Today, I took 2 screenshots of Daniel, one of him sitting in car and then the second of him doing his homework.

A few days ago, he had the cheesy smile he makes and a white shirt that was captioned "Thinking of you my love." I love my small photo collection of all the cute Daniel Snap moments we have had. I'm in love with his smile and his way of saying things, especially when we start to Snap each other back and forth and they start to get funny.

On the days I wish he were here, I look through those photos and think about if I were the one to have taken them. What if I were the one holding the camera? Instead of the caption being in his point of view, it would be in mine. It would say something along the lines of "AWE, he was thinking of me and smiled!!" Instead of laughing at each other's silly faces on Snap, we would be laughing at them sitting on my bed and he would be trying to help me study for biology, but then get lost himself.

Unfortunately, fate said no on this one. Rather, it said "You guys are going to be great at this whole distance thing and if you aren't, well then too bad." Every weekend since I graduated, we have seen each other every weekend. I would travel the hour and a half to visit him or he would drive the hour and a half to visit me. We had the system worked out very well, and it works great. Until something comes up, or one of us has something planned that weekend instead or... you get the point.

Distance is hard! It's frustrating, too. My parents swear I love driving because I have driven so much since June that I'm not surprised that I need my brakes replaced, or I will eventually need an oil change... again. Right now to see my boyfriend, it is an hour and 31 minutes to get to Selinsgrove where my boyfriend go to college. Let me tell you, it's a pretty drive, but also a pretty long drive.

The great thing is that, he makes it all worth the driving and the long weeks and the needing new brakes. He makes having to pay to have a car at college, and also pay insurance on a car I use only twice a week all worth it. I love it when I go there with his room with no AC and I love when he comes here and we lay in my freezing cold room. It makes the time we do spend together the greatest ever because we are there together and while the time is limited, it's awesome to be there.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
