I started my college with a boyfriend, and I am still currently with my boyfriend.

We started dating freshman year of high school, neither one of us having a clue of what the future held for us.

Then the summer came before I started college, I had so many emotions running through me about starting the new school year away from everything I knew and even leaving my boyfriend.

Trust me the thought of breaking up went through my mind more then once and even my boyfriends mind. We talked about it...the break up, but we both didn't want it to happen.

So we said we would try and make it work with me going away to college.

So we planned on keeping a long distance relationship.

Which isn't easy, being away from someone you love is a hard thing do. I have gotten asked a lot of times if it would be easier to just break up and not put in the effort to keep a relationship going, my response is the same to every person who asks me this, "Why would I want to make new memories with someone I don't know when I have a thousand wonderful memories with someone I already have?"

Yeah, it would probably be easier to just forget about the relationship than to start a new one with someone here at school.

I love my boyfriend with all my heart and he loves me more then I will ever know, yes sometimes he does get on my nerves, and makes me upset, but I love when his eyes light up when he laughs, the way he doesn't really care about what other people think, how he makes me laugh and most importantly I love the way he loves me.

He sees me for who I am and loves all of me.

He will drop anything to make me happy as I would for him.

So yes keeping a long distance relationship is hard I will not deny that, but the thing is if you are willing to put in the effort into a relationship that is long distance it will work.

Both have to be willing to put in the effort though it can't fall on the shoulders of one person it has to be both.

So having a relationship at school with someone that is millions of miles away is hard, I would know.

Although it is hard we are both willing to put effort into this relationship and I wouldn't want it any other way.
