Long distance relationships

So I have really been neglecting this blog... Vet school is going to be over and I'm not going to remember any of it! I'll have to update later with vet school stuff, but for now I leave you with:

5 reasons why long distance relationships suck:
1. You can't hug your boyfriend or have him put his arm around you and reassure you everything will be okay when you're having a bad day.
2. You're forced to do mundane tasks like errands by yourself. And they're in incredibly boring. And they used to be fun when you did them with your best friend.
3. You don't have someone to study with and keep you from getting distracted.
4. You don't get to be with your boyfriend on important days like birthdays or Valentine's day.
5. You don't get to just BE with your boyfriend whenever you want. No having lunch together or dinner together or going to church together. Instead you sit in your lonely empty apartment by yourself while he sits in his 6 hours away.

And because I have an awesome boyfriend who makes me happy even when he is 6 hours away, I give you TEN reasons why long distance relationships don't suck:
1. You really appreciate the time you do have together.
2. Video phone calls make it so much better.
3. Snuggling up with one of his sweatshirts that smells like him almost makes it feel like he's holding you.
4. He obviously cares a lot about you because he's willing to try to make a long distance relationship work.
5. You get to know him really well because you talk on the phone about anything and everything to make it feel like he's a part of your day and you're a part of his.
6. When you finally get to live in the same place you'll appreciate it more.
7. You get to stop at his dad's house every time you drive down to see him and spend time with his family. And they spoil you with dinners and passes for the toll roads.
8. You get to hear about his sermon every Sunday in addition to going to your own. So you get 2 sermons for the price of one.
9. You get to experience cool things like riding the train for the first time by yourself to go see him. Something you probably would never have done otherwise.
10. And the last but most important reason- dating him even if it is long distance beats not dating him at all!
