    Let's get to know each other!

    1. How long have you and your SO been together?
    2. How far apart are you?
    3. Who's in college - you, your SO, or both of you?
    4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?
    5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?
    6. Tell us a little about you!



    Me first!

    1. We're high school sweethearts. We started dating 3/17/10, broke up during the summer between high school and college (2011) for seven weeks, and got back together on 9/17/11. So we've been together officially for almost a year but he's held my heart for almost 2 and a half years.
    2. We're separated by 1000 miles (NJ to FL) during college. During the summer/breaks we live together.
    3. My SO and I are both in college. I'm a junior at a large university and he is a freshman at a community college. We graduated from high school together. He took a gap year and I skipped a year in college hence the large difference even though we're the same age.
    4. I am studying Communication Sciences and Disorders, which is essentially pre-Speech Therapy. I'm minoring in Sociology. My SO is studying Business Administration.
    5. I am expected to graduate from undergrad in May of 2014 and from grad school in June of 2016 if everything goes according to my plan. My SO is expected to graduate from community college in June of 2014 and then from a 4 year school in 2016.
    6. I love country music, going out with my friends, and learning. I'm a bit of a nerd to be honest :P

    Became a couple: March 17th, 2010
    Started our college long distance relationship: August 2011
    Surprise engagement in Disneyworld! : March 22nd, 2013
    Closed the distance: May 2nd, 2014
    Became his wife and started our happily ever after!: May 17th, 2014

    4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?

    5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?
    I already finished undergrad, but I should be graduating in May or June or whatever of 2013 with my masters. My SO should be graduating in July 2013 with his bachelors.
    6. Tell us a little about you!
    Uhmmm, I like cats and drawing and traveling... I keep fish and I like dancing, but I don't let people see because I'm insecure about my body... and... I minored in German in undergrad.

      1. How long have you and your SO been together?
      Pretty new relationship, actually. about 2 months officially.
      2. How far apart are you?
      5441 miles during summer and 4945 during the school year. I live in Wisconsin, she lives in a city near Chelyabinsk, Russia during the summer (her hometown) and Moscow (where she goes to college) during the school year.
      3. Who's in college - you, your SO, or both of you?
      We're both in college.
      4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?
      I study linguistic, she studies culturology.
      5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?
      Jesus, in 3 - 5 years, depending if my 2 previous years of college get validated in Russia, and if I decide to go for a bachelors (4 years) or a Specialist's Degree (5 years). It's a bit different in Mother Russia. She has 3 years left.
      6. Tell us a little about you!
      I play classical guitar and metalcore, I love languages (hence linguistics) and can speak English and Spanish fluently, French very well and currently I'm studying Russian (my biggest passion even before I met my SO).

                    1. How long have you and your SO been together?
                    Since Oct 2011, so almost 11 months!

                    2. How far apart are you?
                    About 1300mi (you can see on my profile). He's in Texas whilst I'm in NY.

                    3. Who's in college - you, your SO, or both of you?
                    Both of us are in university: him starting graduate school and me in my junior year of undergrad.

                    4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?
                    His undergrad was physics, mathematics and optics. Now he's doing physical chemistry. I'm currently studying classics/classical languages, computer science and clinical psychology.

                    5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?
                    I don't know about his PhD programme! It varies, I guess, but hopefully in 6 years. I'm off in 2014, but I'm going to work for a year or two before pursuing a PhD myself.

                    6. Tell us a little about you!
                    I'm a huge nerd who secretly wants to open up a shop on Etsy. :P I like fashion, reading, ancient civilsations, the like.

                        1. How long have you and your SO been together?

                        Almost two years.

                        2. How far apart are you?

                        Not too far -- about 200 miles

                        3. Who's in college - you, your SO, or both of you?

                        Both of us.

                        4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?

                        I was working on a Bachelor's in Economics when I met my SO. Since then, I've gotten that bachelor's and a masters. Now I'm studying public policy for a PhD. He's been studying for his PhD in Computer science the whole time.

                        5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?

                        For PhD's, this question can be hard to answer. So my school strongly encourages people to finish in four years, but a lot of people actually take five. So I'll probably graduate in 2016 or 2017. He's already been working on his for two years, but his school's time table is a bit more relaxed. So he could easily still take four years. But it could also be two, if his dissertation gets written in a hurry. There's also a chance that after this year, he'll just stop with a master's. So for him, expected to be done anytime from May 2013 to 2016.

                        6. Tell us a little about you!


                        I love to sew, mostly clothes for myself. I also love taking care of my 3 cats and 3 rats. The cats are actually moving back and forth between us while we're at a distance. Joint kitty custody!

                            8ish months

                            2. How far apart are you?

                            I'm in Eastern Canada and he's in England. Roughly 3400 miles.

                            3. Who's in college - you, your SO, or both of you?

                            We're both heading into first year Uni in September. He's more excited about it than I am :P

                            4. What are you (and your SO if applicable) studying?

                            I'll be doing Business (hope to make my way through to Law School). Although being the quiet mousey person that I am I'd be better suited to a career in writing/journalism. He's doing Geography.

                            5. When are you (or your SO or both) expected to graduate?

                            I should be done undergrad in 4 years. He'll be done in 3 years.

                            6. Tell us a little about you!
                            I'm a bookworm and love nothing more than curling with my blankie and cup of coffee (although I'm on a coffee ban *cries*). I'm re-reading Little Women I like crafting too and making cards out of odd things.
