Is there a way to stop long distance relationships being so hard?

Rachel
So I've been with my boyfriend since November, and spent all of last weekend with him and it felt so good to be with him. However, he lives about 4 hours away, and we're both in school so neither of us can drive, therefore I won't see him again for at least 5 months. Is there any way to make this less hard? I love him too much to let him go.
