10 Struggles of Having a Long Distance Best Friend

So, you and your best friend ended up in different places.  We’ve all been there at some point in our lives, and the struggle is real.  Here are 10 things all besties go through when living far apart.

1.  It’s fine, you guys will definitely stay in contact. She’s a great texter anyways.

…except when she’s in class and can’t reply.

2.  You can still have your movie nights together over FaceTime.

…until you lose wifi service and FaceTime disconnects and refuses to connect again.

3.  You can still talk about boys…right?

….too bad you have absolutely no clue who this “boy I met at a party” is. So you try and find out, as you intensley stalk his Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

4.  You promise each other that no one would ever replace the friendship you guys have.

…but you can’t help but get jealous of any girl you see in her pictures.

And so you pretend you are happy that she has other friends, but in reality you are crying on the inside.

5.  You try to organize visits, but it’s so hard when your schedules get in the way

6.  And you feel so left out when she tells you about her plans for the weekend.  

…wishing you could be there as her wing-woman.

7.  That depressing moment when you realize the only picture you can post of you and her has to be a #tbt because there are no recent ones of you guys

…but you still post it anyways

8. You can’t take silly selfies together anymore

…so you try and take screenshots via facetime because it’s the closest thing you’ll get

9.  And once you make plans to actually see her, the countdown begins!

And it feels like that day can’t come any sooner.

10.   But when it finally comes, you feel like you are dreaming.
