“So I was just wondering if there was anybody else out there that was struggling with leaving a girlfriend or a boyfriend behind when they come to BMC. As the days of summer are winding down, it’s becoming more and more of a reality that I am leaving. Does anybody feel similarly or has advice on how to deal with it? Thank you in advance, I just really need to talk to people about this.

All of you have been unbelievably helpful in making me feel more confident about our decision. I think it is better in a way to go through the pain of long distance than the pain of losing him (in my opinion). I think though that we can all help each other in so many ways and we always need to remember that we are not alone. If we’re this close on Facebook, imagine how close we all will become by September when we meet each other! I already feel like you guys are my family, my sisters :)”

Family is forever. For. Ever.
