College+Long term relationship, I could use advice Options

[Blyat]

So college is right around the corner for me-ish (Aug 20th)

And some of you know that I do have a boyfriend, and he will also be attending College this year but he is going to a different college.

So here is my dilema, and a little bit of a backroung of me and Daniel

I've known him for 8 years, and we have been best friends for 8 years, we started dating summer of senior year and we literally surprisingly complete eachother (been dating 7 months) And we both really think we will be together for a long time, like come on a kid that will play with nerf guns with me is super awesome!

So back to the college situation
We're neighbours currently and like 30 seconds away from eachother
but now wereliterally going to be on the opposite sides of Michigan from eachother

basically 5-8 hours away from eachother

He also Might be going to a private college which means all his breaks are different from mine

So even seeing eachother will be a lot trickier if he goes to a private college


So overall, especially this being college, what is the best way to keep a long distance relationship since I'm obviously going to be new with this? Cause I really want to sty with him

Advice?
Sorry if this is very lengthy

Bump...Just in case

So I found out he is picking the college thats farthest
So we will be 8 hours apart, have different break dates except for christmas, and I leave and get out waaay earlier than he does



but our town is halfway and our best friend will be 30 minutes away from
Dan (boyfriend) and he will always be willing to drag him up here

But...I'm still worried ^^;;

Okay (i didnt read any of the other posts, so i do apoligize in advance if i repeat the things they say)

I was once in your position and i am not saying that each and every situation (when in comes to a relationship like mine) will end up a happily ever after or break up, but this kind of stuff does happen. I was in complete denial that my boyfriend and I would break up during college. I thought it honestly doesnt depend on the 'statistics' of how long distant relationships do last in college or how people view the situation--how your relationship last depends on you and on him. You have to ask yourself is he really one to trust and depend on when you are 8 hours away. I know, i know thats a stupid question, but you have to really ask yourself that. of course there is skype and phone calls and what not, but the matter of having trust should be strong and whether you AND HIM, will be commited.

Unfortunately for me, i had to learn the hard way and realize that my ass of a boyfriend (now ex) was a jerk and cheated on me months before we went to college (i had made that discovery DURING college--but thats beside the point), i knew he was not ready to grow up and have a relationship with me, which didnt put a downer to my life here in college because sooner or later i met my current boyfriend who actually lives 30 mins away from my hometown (me living in the city--nyc), which isnt so bad.

As for you, i think if you and him are completely FOR each other, you hoenstly have nothing to worry about. Just have a serious talk, and although what may come out (the truth) of how either of you may feel about the situation-could help you in the long run... and who knows, you'll probably meet someone even better at your college
