Continuing Relationship after College?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm a senior at a college that attracts students from across the country. My boyfriend (also a senior) is from the west coast, and I'm from the east. We'd both like to move back towards home, but we'd also be sad about breaking up at the end of the year.</p>

<p>Anyone have advice or experience with a similar situation? A long-distance relationship seems doomed to failure, but maybe you've heard of some good stories? How are other couples handling it? We'd considered finding jobs in the same cities, but we both have decent offers in different states.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
