15 Feelings Every Girl in a LDR Knows All Too Well

For those of you in a long-distance relationship, you know that it can get pretty tricky. Whether you go to school an hour apart or across the country, you’re bound to have these feelings at some point or another. Don’t worry—you’ll be reunited with your SO before you know it!

1. You can’t wait to go back to school, but you don’t want to say goodbye to your SO.

2. You’ve only been apart for a week, so why does it feel like a month?

3. The funniest thing happened to you today—you can’t wait to tell your SO about it!

4. When you FaceTime, your day is made.

5. Dress up for class? Nah, your SO won’t see you.

6. It’s Friday and you’re ready to rage! If only your SO could party with you.

7. Stay out all night or have a Netflix “date” with your SO? Hmm, I wonder.

8. Figuring out a weekend to visit each other is so frustrating.

9. You finally figured out a weekend—let the countdown begin!

10. The week before goes by super slowly…

11. When you finally see each other, you’re on cloud nine.

12. Saying goodbye after a weekend together is really hard.


13. Once you’re back at school, you can’t stop thinking about your SO.

14. …and it all begins again.

15. You may be miles apart, but you’re always close at heart.

Being in a LDR can be tough, but it’s not permanent. If you continue to communicate with your SO and visit each other when you can, you’ll get through it. Try to focus on the positives and live in the moment. Good luck, collegiettes!
