Going from being driving distance from your BFF to a thousand miles away is hard. Theres texting and Facetime, but it’s just not the same from eating ice cream and watching Glee re-runs together. Here are a few struggles I’ve been having with a long-distance BFF.

1. Facetime isn't the same as face to face conversation

Venting, crying, laughing, etc. isn't the same as being with your friends, plus people in the hallway give you weird looks if you're dying of laughter by yourself.

2. You have a countdown to when you're going to see them next.

Countdowns to Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break…and seeing your BFF in real life.

3. You constantly compare your college friends to your BFF from home.

Yeah, they're good friends, but will you have as great as inside jokes as you and your home BFF has?

4. You want to tell them everything that happens to you each day.

This guy said something stupid in class, you tripped in front of an entire frat, you saw someone from your high school that does not look like they did a year ago? You automatically text your best friend to tell her what happened.

5. You randomly send and receive "I miss you" texts at least twice a week.

Not being close to your best friend is hard, and you appreciate each other enough to tell each other you love them.

6. When you see them after being away from each other for months makes your realize why you're best friends.

Running into each other's arms makes you realize that your friendship is amazing and makes you appreciate your friendship a million times more.
