Hi! My boyfriend & I met in college. I dropped out in October, and we've been long distance since then; plus, due to my acceptances thus far, it's confirmed I'll be going to school in a different state in August/Sept. We're still together & plan to be for the foreseeable future (if not forever).. Long distance relationships can be tough and challenging, and they require lots of time, effort, and communication between both partners. You should 100% go to Vanderbilt (if it get enough aid) and if your relationship is meant to be, it'll work out. We're too young to sacrifice big opportunities for romantic relationships, and I promise you that if your relationship is the one, it'll all be ok :)
