I'm (still) a Senior, She's (still) a Junior.

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I know I had this posted on the other forum a long time ago but I thought I would resurrect it to this one because I was inspired by someone else's post. </p>

<p>By the time I leave for college next fall, I'll have been with my girlfriend for about 2 and a half years. We're not planning on breaking up before then and have a seemingly great relationship so far. (I'm a Senior, she's a Junior)--And therein lies the problem. We're wondering how it's really going to work when I go to college. The closest college I'm applying to is a 6 hour drive away, so it's not like I'll be able to drive back whenever I want. I'm not really looking for an answer to anything really, just maybe if other people have tried to keep a relationship going after high school and into college like this, what your advice might be, different things people have done that helped bide the time until they see eachother again, etc. Anything would be helpful I guess. Thanks</p>

<p>The Long distance never works. I'd say end on a good note and let yourself be free to meet new people come fall</p>

<p>Long distance DOES NOT WORK. Do what the above poster said.</p>

4

<p>Find a college that's closer</p>

<p>Take her with you</p>

<p>From what I see, this post is four years old... heh.</p>

<p>Long distance can work if you put the effort in, just so people know. But it takes a lot of maturity, good communication, and a great deal of trust to make it work.</p>

<p>Wow, so you posted this as a silly little high schooler. And now your all grown up and about to graduate college! </p>

<p>Time is a crazy thing.</p>

<p>If the OP still checks this at all, I'm curious to know how this situation worked out.</p>

<p>So am I.</p>

<p>Ten char</p>

<p>Somebody could add him on AIM and see if he ever logs on.</p>

<p>Worst case scenario: he ignores your message and blocks you.</p>

<p>do it. 10 char</p>

<p>EDIT: Your still a senior?? After 5 years??</p>

11

<p>One of my best friends started dating a mutual friend in May (we were seniors), and 8 months later, they are still together even though he stayed home and is at the local CC and she went to a school 4 hours away. It can work.</p>

<p>:( ^^ that should’ve been you’re</p>

<p>…9 seconds</p>

<p>Holy crap! Biggest Necropost(s) I’ve ever seen. 5 years lol</p>

<p>Long distance is really hard unless you’re actually that committed to her, and she is as committed to you. Otherwise, it could just fall apart. One of you could just find someone else and there ends your relationship. If you feel your relationship is really strong enough to withstand it, then I say go for it! Although long distance relationships can work out, it’s not a high percentage. To pass the time, visit her whenever you can, but be sure to keep your grades up. They still matter more than spending time w/her… After all, they determine your future and help more in the long run. If you plan to marry, then think of it as you wanna give her a good life in the future so u gotta keep the grades up. Listen to music, go online, etc. in your free time. OH! And I suggest webcam! Both of you can get webcam and be able to talk and see each other through the internet! I suggest using [Skype</a> ? Make free calls and great value calls on the internet](<a href=“http://www.skype.com%5DSkype”>http://www.skype.com) but there are other ones(less popular) such as [<meta name=“description” content=“”> <meta name=“keywords” content=“”> <link href=“css/header.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” media=“screen”><link href=“css/default.css” rel=“stylesheet” type=“text/css” media=“screen”><link hre](<a href=“http://www.oovoo.com”>http://www.oovoo.com</a>). Good luck!</p>

<p>I’m going to have a similar situation soon.</p>

18

<p>I’m the junior in this situation… I guess we’ll see what happens. We didn’t make it through last summer when I went away for seven weeks, but I think that was largely because our relationship was so immature back then. I’m terrified, though. We shall see.</p>

19

<p>^ you didn’t make it last summer??? but you’re still together? this confuses me</p>

<p>Five years later, and the OP is (still) a senior, then holy damn.</p>
