Hi everyone! I haven't posted much here, but I go here frequently when I'm having an off day to cheer me up. You all always help.
Now, I'm just wondering who else is going into their first year of college and in an LDR or has done so and has anything to share. My girlfriend and I are both going into college next year. I guess it'd be good to introduce our situation just for the fun of it, too
So, I met my girlfriend of a year and a half on a cruise ship right after Christmas time. I had no intention of being with anyone at the time, but things change :P We bonded a bit on the cruise and chatted more and more once we parted. A couple of weeks have it, the words "I love you" are spoken and the rest is the magic of a relationship. She lives in Maine. I live in New York. It's about an 8-9 hour drive, but we've been very fortunate in seeing one another this year in my opinion. We've definitely had our ups and downs though, as all couples do. We just got over one of our biggest downsides so far, and I'm hoping all stays alright. Regardless of that though, I'm moving to college in Boston, and she's moving to college in Portland, which is a much better 2 hour drive. Public transportation all the way! Anyway, I'm just looking for any info about what life was like for other LDR couples once they entered college. I'll say upfront that I'm a big studier. I was in high school though (like, the kind that studied nearly all day), so it won't be something new to our relationship. She's not really that way, but we're all different. I'm sure we'll both take time to adjust to our new settings and scenarios, but I think she's going to have some trouble adjusting to the workload of a college student. I'm not going anywhere though, so these are parts of life we'll experience together
Any stories, tips, or... anything at all? All discussion is pretty much welcome here.
