14 Things That Happen When Your Best Friend Goes Abroad

1. Extreme lack of sleep from staying up until obscene hours of the night to talk to them because of the time difference

2. Finally reaching them on Facetime but there’s so much to say that you just sit there in silence 

3. Becoming concerned that someone is going to steal your #1

4. Wishing you had someone to remind you of the important things in life (i.e. your shirt is inside out or, you’re a dog)

5. No one to drag on your crazy adventures

6. Constantly checking the countdown clock

7. The separation anxiety is real 

8. Contemplating the likelihood that you can invent teleportation within the next week or so 

9. Missing those (school night!!!!!) sleepovers

10. No one there to laugh at you when you trip up the stairs (or fall into a garbage can)

11. Actually having privacy in the bathroom (but somewhat missing the company)

12. Asking important decisions via text because you need their advice 

13. Researching flights and quickly closing the window because your college fund can’t take any more hits
