10 Feelings You Have When Your Best Friend is (Literally) in Australia

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

1. Trying to remember what time it is for your friend

It can be hard, but on the plus side, talking to them is basically time travel!

2. They bring you new, exotic food

Tim Tams are great, you guys!

3. Virtual hugs just aren’t good enough

XOXO and heart emojis don’t quite feel the same.

4. Liking all their pics on social media

You can live vicariously through their new experiences.

5. You get jealous of the people who get to see them all the time

Just cuz you’re apart doesn’t mean you’re surrendering your title of best friend!

6. Snail Mail!

A postcard or letter immediately brightens your day.

7. Meticulously planning your reunion

You have to fit so much into so little time!

8. You learn new slang from wherever they live

Wait, what’s a tradie?

9. “Sorry, I’m busy facetiming my friend,”

Your catch-up sessions are top priority!

10. Counting down the days until you get to see them

3… 2… 1…
