Dumb question but idk

I was in a long distance relationship my junior and senior year and I didn’t feel left out at events, it’s pretty common for people to be doing long distance especially at the beginning of freshman year

You can have a date with a friend, guy or girl, if you are worried. With that said, Thanksgiving first year is the biggest time a lot of couples break up. Second biggest is coming back home for summer.

My advice… you have the REST OF YOUR LIFE to be in a committed relationship. You only have one chance to experience college! Now is the time to focus on YOU. Take advantage of it and invest time in your friendships, your classes, activities, and finding yourself. Stay friends with your mate, if it’s meant to be, you’ll reconnect in the future. You’re going to want your freedom, not having to always text back, check in when you get home, explain where you are or what you’re doing, etc… and then waste headspace on worrying about him and what he’s doing. Now is the time for YOU. 💕

I came to UA with a long-term bf. He was in school 12 hours away too. We ended up breaking up fairly quickly because I realized that being in a long distance relationship was too much stress for me personally at the start of my freshman year. I am now dating a guy I met at UA and we have been together for four years and are successfully doing a year of long distance.
On the other hand, one of my close friends didn’t break up with her long distance bf when she came to UA and are still together and I have plenty of other friends who dated their hs bfs until their sophomore or junior years and then broke up.
What I am trying to say is you and your bf are going to change a lot and sometimes that change can cause you to break up, but sometimes that change can bring you closer together. My biggest piece of advice is enjoy your freshman year and if you are meant to be together in the end, it’ll work out. Just don’t idealize things now and force expectations.
