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
