Long-distance relationships while in college are very hard. Finding time to drive or fly to each other can be difficult sometimes. But when the love is large, the distance (no matter how far) will seem very small.

Communication is one of the most important things in a long-distance relationship. It's necessary to text, call & FaceTime whenever you get the chance. Knowing what's going on in your significant other's life will make you feel closer together!

Trust each other. The beauty of long-distance relationships is that both of you get to live your independent lives while still living a life together. Long distance relationships are built on a lot of trust. When you have trust in your love, you have it all.

Effort!!!! Long-distance relationships take way more effort than normal relationships, and little things go a long way. A simple act such as writing cute little notes can make a huge positive impact on your relationship!

Love is, hands-down, the most important aspect of any relationship! When the love is strong, the distance doesn't matter at all. When there is a lot of love in a long-distance relationship, the communication and trust will come naturally, and the effort will be easy when you're willing to put your all into your significant other and your relationship.

Long-distance relationships aren't easy, and sometimes it's easy to feel sad and lonely. But you have to look at your long-distance relationship as a good thing, as an opportunity. Being long-distance gives you the chance to learn to live apart before living together.

However, the time apart will make you cherish the time you have together even more.

Distance shouldn't matter when the love is strong and real!!!
