Saying your final goodbyes as you leave for college may seem like one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do. But as move-in day gets closer, so does the realization that you aren't going to be spending every day with your best friends. Here are a few ways to make it easier:
1. Plan your last night(s) together.
Whether you want to spend your last night eating dinner, drinking, or just cuddled in watching a movie with your best friends, make sure it's something you all agree on. You want your last night/day with your friends to be happy and that's not going to happen if you're spending it arguing over who wants to do what. It might even be easier to have one night dedicated to each person!
2. Buy your BFFs a little gift.
Buying your girls a cute necklace or bracelet with a meaning will help. Even a blanket that has all of the colleges you guys are going to would be sentimental! This will show your friends how much you care about them and how much you're going to miss them. And might even help with the jealousy of you meeting new friends.
3. Write a short letter.
Instead of bringing out the tears in person and killing the mood, a handwritten or typed letting telling them how much you're going to miss them or talking about how much you appreciate them and the memories you share will do just fine!
4. Last but not least...
Keep in touch! Nothing will do better than checking up on your friends every once in a while to make sure they're doing okay! It'll show how much you care!
