Hey guys, my name is Erin and I am in a relationship that just became long distance.
My boyfriends name is Gavin and we originally met in a chemistry class at our previous community college. I added him on facebook but nothing really came of it. Later that year he moved 2 hours away to transfer to a university and last minute I ended up transferring to the same university. I thought about messaging him on fb to see if he wanted to hang but we had barely talked before so that would have been a little awkward. We were both downtown walking around applying for jobs and ran into each other and have pretty much been inseparable ever since. Before we were officially dating, I needed to find a place to live for the year and didn't know anybody else that lived there so I had to find somewhere that did individual leases. He told me about how where he was living leased individual rooms out and I contacted the landlord to rent a room in a house next door to his. The landlord made a mistake and we ended up living in the same house! After a semester of that, we subleased out my room and lived in his tiny room for the next semester. He is 21 and I am 20 and we plan on getting engaged within the next year. We both graduate next may and we are looking forward to moving somewhere new next summer where he will continue schooling in a Ph.D program.
He left for a summer internship in Nebraska for the summer. It's only 2 and a half months so it could be worse, but it's still really hard. I get to go see him halfway through which I am totally looking forward to. It's just difficult to go from living together to being across the country. It doesn't help that his phone doesn't get service there so we are just limited to skype when he gets back to his dorm. I'm trying to stay strong though!
