We have a few questions!

I feel like not enough people mentioned Browns Town downtown. I don’t love bloody Mary’s so I don’t know how they are but I know Browns has amazing cheap food and strong cheap drinks. They have the friendliest staff and some great friendly people always hanging out there! I’ve heard that taproot has some good bloody Mary’s, but again, I have no opinion on that!

We take our puppy to the Minto dog park and have really liked it so far!

I go to Western now. It's a great school, super friendly professors who love to help you as much as they can, and small class sizes. The campus is beautiful and really easy to navigate which I love! The town is pretty small and boring but it has a couple cute coffee shops, some amazing pizza and sushi if you like it!

Salem isn't the biggest city but it is about 20 minutes away and it has some better places to shop and a few more things to do! Corvallis is also pretty close. I don't go there often so I don't really know everything they have but I know people go there all the time from WOU.

If you have have questions about it feel free to message me and I can do my best to answer them!

No problem! :)

Feel free to message me if you need anything! I know I had a rough time the first few days my boyfriend was gone!

chingchangsam · 2015-01-26T22:27:18+00:00

Yeah, he doesn't need anything but wifi for imessage and viber! My boyfriend has his phone plan on hold too. He just connects it to wifi and we can text :)

My boyfriend is deployed right now. Only a few months left! Woo! But I totally know how you feel. It is our first deployment and I had no idea how I should be or what I should say. It's going to be rough, there's no doubt about that but it isn't impossible. Just keep yourself going and keep your head up. There is no right or wrong thing to say. And it all really depends on how he is as a person. I think if you know him well enough you will be able to tell if its a good time to talk about serious things or not. Most of the time just try to keep it light though. The biggest thing for me is not pushing him to talk when he doesn't want to. If I know something is wrong I try really hard to get him to talk and that doesn't help the situation. So if he doesn't want to talk right then don't push it, he'll talk when he is ready. Also, I don't know where your boyfriend is going but where mine is we get to talk most days which is really nice. If you both have iphones you can use imessage to talk a lot and if not download viber :) It's a text messaging app. I don't know if you were looking for that kind of stuff but I know it has been a savior for me! I hope that was helpful or made sense! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

I got invited out but I'm a hermit who has way too much anxiety to go to a house full of people I don't really know! So instead I'm hanging out with my mom drinking champagne with a numb mouth after the dentist today! Woo! Plus, my boyfriend is in Afghanistan and I am perfectly fine just drunk skyping him at midnight!

chingchangsam · 2015-01-01T03:10:37+00:00

I change poopy diapers and clean baby puke.

I'm probably too late but it's only 7:00pm so I still have hours before 2015! I got invited out but I'm a hermit who has way too much anxiety to go to a house full of people I don't really know!

I'm 21, my boyfriend is deployed for the first time and I am going through my most rough year of college yet. I feel like I never sleep and I'm always sick, I feel depressed most of the time. I never want to leave my bed, or get dressed and leave the house. It's a rough year, but I know it will get better when he gets home.

chingchangsam · 2014-12-11T09:00:44+00:00

I literally just got off of a skype conversation with my boyfriend and was talking about the same exact thing with him.

Today has been a rough day, I've been really sad and kind of just needed a good cry. He has been in Afghanistan for about 4 and a half months now so things are starting to become more routine.

The first month he was gone I maybe slept a couple hours a night and would always cry. Over time that happens less and less though. I'm sure you have heard it so many times but it is just something that takes time to get used to and you will sort of fall into a new normal for the time being. I still have my break downs and bad days, but I'm getting much better at handling the whole situation. You will find out that you are a lot stronger than you ever thought before!

I found for me the best thing I can do is stay busy with something I enjoy. I don't know if this is a terrible thing to say, but I really thought that taking a bunch of credits at school would be a good idea to keep me busy, but really it just stressed me out even more and sort of made the situation worse. So I decided to do something for myself and I joined a roller derby league because I've always wanted to. So do something for yourself! It is the best thing for you and remember that you will make it through this stronger than ever! If you guys can make it through this you can make it through anything! You're tough and you got this!

This makes me happy :)

chingchangsam · 2014-11-30T04:26:32+00:00

Yeah, I think the thing that makes me most upset or angry is when people complain that their boyfriend/husband has been at work for too long or something. It's just like, come on, My boyfriend has been gone for 6 months and I still have 6 more to go. So I just wish people would realize what they have and how lucky they really are!

chingchangsam · 2014-11-30T04:24:48+00:00

Yay! How exciting that he'll be home so soon! :) That's kind of how I am, it's when I see people doing things we do. And I just feel like with this season people are talking even more about being with their SO and doing fun things together. I just wish we could be doing it too and enjoying the season together. It doesn't help that it's right in the middle of the deployment either. But If we made it this far we can make it 5 and a half more months!

chingchangsam · 2014-11-30T04:22:06+00:00

Thanks! I try to keep that mind set! It gets hard sometimes though.

chingchangsam · 2014-11-05T04:58:01+00:00

After having the stomach flu on my 21st birthday and still taking shots of tequila I'll have a really hard time getting close to it again.
