I have quite a lot of experience with long distance relationships. At one point or another I've been away from my family, friends and boyfriend, so I feel I'm fairly qualified to talk about this area.
Apart from holidays away, moving to university was obviously my first big step because I left my family and friends to move somewhere I'd only visited for a few hours on the open day. Luckily, I was so ready and excited to leave that it didn't hit me straight away. Although there were obvious down times, like my first birthday away from home, I made a great group of friends in freshers week that I'm still close to now. In fact I live with most of them. However after having known these friends only a year, I then left to do a year abroad in Canada, leaving behind family, old friends, new friends and now a boyfriend that I'd met in my first year in Glasgow.
