TITLE: Me [18/m] and my gf [18/f] are moving away for college, do we continue our relationship?
POST: So me and my gf are going to college in September and are going to be across the country from each other. We plan to not continue out relationship long distance, because we know that never really works out. 

We have been dating for a year now, and we both love each other very much. We are best friends, have great sex, and spend almost every possible minute together. 

We both are going to have busy summer jobs, her hours in the morning and my hours in the evening, almost every day. We are certainly not going to have as much time with each other over summer. 

The feeling of knowing when our relationship will end due to college has changed our relationship dramatically. I still love her a lot and want to continue making memories until we must absolutely stop, but she feels like she wants to slow it down so she doesn't feel as impacted when it's time to leave. 

What do you guys think is the best option? I can't imagine leaving her, but I also don't want her to feel hurt.
TL;DR: 
Both of us are going to college and we don't know whether to continue our relationship through summer before college or just end it to prevent a difficult start to college.
