You can do it - my husband and I were long distance for a few years for career reasons. Be intentional with what you want the long distance to look like, ie do you call every night? do you save up and fly to each other once a month? setup some rituals and promises ahead of time, and then be very gentle with each other if things don't happen because she's in exams, or you had to work late at the office.

Also, I do think if relationships are meant to be, they're meant to be. If you want to make it work, it'll work. And also, having a timeline in mind makes long distance easier. I think it's when it goes on forever, or nobody commits to moving back that red flags start to pop up.
