Relationship, different colleges, I think you know the story

<p>So I'm heading to UC Davis this fall and I have a lot of friends going to Davis and Berkeley and other NorCal schools. I don't feel that bad that we're going our separate ways since everyone is within driving distance of each other. I think I have only a few actually going out of state or SoCal. </p>

<p>So, in terms of proximity, I'm not concerned. However, college changes people and I'm always open for meeting new people but the thought of my relationship with my friends in high school dissipating causes some concern. As an individual, I don't burn bridges so I'm going to put effort in keeping in touch with the people I want to.</p>

<p>So what are you opinions? There's also this girl that I like that's going to Berkeley and I want to know if a relationship is possible. Berkeley is only about an hour away from Davis and there's even a direct shuttle heading back and forth between the two schools. And while I plan on talking with her via phone/skype/facebook on a regular basis, I also intend on visiting Berkeley every 3-4 weeks(not just for her, but for my other friends as well). But, she's thinking about joining a sorority, and even though I'm not in the greek system(yet?) I know the amount of commitment needed for greek life. I also have enough trust in her that she won't go behind my back or anything.</p>

<p>Well…if you can trust her and she isn’t to far away…then I really don’t see a huge issue. Also its not like she can’t come to you either. Phone/skype/facebook are good ways to stay “close” to people you know so it COULD work out…won’t know till you try I guess.</p>

<p>For all you know, someone’s porking her right now.</p>

<p>Messed up, amirite?</p>

<p>I am currently in the reverse situation as you are right now. I am at Davis, and my bf is at Cal. It isn’t hard. The Berkeley bus is epic win if you can use it. It’s more convenient for Cal kids though, as it leaves earlier and later. Usually we just get the train though. We see each other about every 4 weeks, as that is all our crazy schedules will allow.</p>

<p>TL;DR: If it’s meant to be, it will work just fine.</p>

<p>Porking seems like such a weird word to use for sex.</p>

<p>^it DOES sound weird.</p>

<p>Makes me think of barbecue instead of sex…</p>

<p>^
It makes me think about barbecue and sex at the same time… no good. Who refers to sex as “porking” and still gets laid? The answer to that should be “no one”.</p>

<p>thanks, everyone. I’m just getting nervous over the unknown. No need getting worked up for things that haven’t happened yet?</p>

<p>But how did you guys cope with the transition of high school to college? Did you guys put effort keeping in touch with friends? Hang out during break etc</p>
