my boyfriend and i have been together since the beginning of our sophomore year in highschool, now we're in our second semester as juniors. we are in different schools, so to an extent we understand some of the hardships that come with not seeing ur SO often. we're also going thru those phases of looking and picking colleges to apply to. our interests in majors and college courses are different, so we like to be a little realistic and keep in mind that we may not go to the same college. another factor: he wants to stay in state and close to home and his family. i wouldnt mind staying close to home but i'd prefer to go out of the state. if not that, at least a program to go abroad a semester or two. having considered all that, we've both come to the conclusion that we may have to try and maintain a long distance relationship during college.
