College friends are some of the best friends you can ever have. You live, work, study, and play together for about eight months out of the year, which means you’re close physically until move-out day pulls you apart. Thankfully, Skype keeps us close in almost every other way, and most of us have all said these 13 things during a group call.

1. I miss you!

You went from seeing each other every day and night to the occasional Skype call when everyone’s schedule works out, and that means that you miss each other a lot.

2. You won't believe what happened today.

Sharing details of your day once happened every evening when everyone came home to the dorm, which means you have a lot of tea to spill once the Skyping actually happens.

3. Work is driving me crazy.

You’re stuck with either high school students that you vaguely remember or college students you’ve never met, and knowing that all of it is temporary makes it all more annoying. Why can’t you just be back with all your friends, investing in stuff that you actually care about?

4. I'm so bored!

Without concerts to fill your weekends and late-night Panda Express runs to fill your nights, you feel like you have nothing to do. It almost makes you miss homework. Almost.

5. Why did you let me take a summer class?

At some point you discussed taking a summer class with these people and they helped you decide to do so, but now that it’s July and all you want to do is live at the beach, you sincerely regret signing up for this. Why did they let you do it?

6. Let me tell you about this guy . . .

Romance always manages to bloom during the summer months when you’re miles away from your best friends, which means you have to keep everyone filled in while you try to keep your heart calm without them there to give advice every few minutes.

7. Meet my dog!

Your dog might be confined to a house thousands of miles away from you during the school year, but she’s laying on the floor next to you right now, which means she gets a Skype introduction to your college family. Obviously, she’s the most adorable thing they’ve ever seen.

8. Hold on, my mom is calling me.

This is happening right now before your mom opens your door and starts her own conversation with you.

9. Did you watch that Netflix show without me?

You’d started binging together during the school year, but didn’t quite finish before May rolled around and you were all free. While some of you may have been willing to wait for the fall semester to come around, others did not, and now you have to make sure to avoid spoilers amongst the betrayal.

10. You live too far away!

Skyping can bring conversations together, but there’s nothing like camping out in each other’s dorm rooms with pizza to watch rom com’s at one in the morning. If you weren’t scattered across the U.S, you’d be at each other’s houses in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, both gas and plane tickets are expensive.

11. I love you!

All you want to do is wrap everyone in a big hug and never let them go again, but a simple ‘I love you’ will have to do until move in day rolls around and you’re reunited.

12. Fall can't come fast enough.

Summer is great and all, but move-in day is something you’ve had on your calendar since you moved out, and all you want to do is finally make that drive and be together again.

13. I miss you so much!

You can never say this too much because it is absolutely true. Living on the same campus for most of the year means that you miss each other a lot when you’re separated.
