Losing your bestie to a different school is hard. It's like losing your right hand-- you have to figure out how to function without them. Being a long distance apart means facetime dates, road trips, and a lot of love when you're finally reunited (usually ends in a tackle).
Learning to make new friends without them is weird. It's a foreign feeling, but luckily your BFF knows who you're talking about because of the constant communication. You're best friend is your person. They know everything about you, and you know everything about them. You have jokes together, late night adventures, and it's really difficult to not have those every day.
Once school starts in the fall, your communication is just limited to snap chat, calls, and FaceTime. Some days you might miss each other schedule wise and that's hard to deal with. But, it will get better. You will learn their schedule, and they will learn yours. You will remember her class schedule and the names of her new friends even if you haven't met them yet.
When your bestie goes to a different school, it's an adjustment. It's not this smooth transition from seeing each other every day to only seeing each other once or twice during the semester. There will be days where schedules don't mesh, days where you simply don't talk. It's no one's fault but life gets in the way sometimes. She will always be there for you, and you for her.
Never forget how exciting it is to see her on breaks and catch up. Time apart also makes for a more valued time when you're both together. My biggest piece of advice is to not get discouraged or feel like you will be replaced. Be confident in your friendship. Sure you and her will both make new friends, as you should, but you will not be replaced. You will still always talk about her and your new friends will love her simply because you love her.
And, when you're finally reunited the time together will be that much more exciting because she's been gone so long. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and I truly think that's true. When you've found your person, she's not going anywhere. She will always be a phone call away and can never be replaced.
