College

Okay so I’ve been dating my boyfriend for almost 9 months now and next August we are both going to college at least 3 hours apart from each other. I️ have tried talking to him about what we do should do when the time comes but he gets mad/sad about it so we always end of up fighting. I️ want him to stay in my life for as long as possible and I️ do want to be with him. I️ just don’t know if I could do long distance. But then it hurts to even think about not having him in my life as my boyfriend. Does anyone have any tips for long distance college relationships?
