text: I have a very similar situation happening to me in August as well, only i am not as fortunate because my girlfriend is moving across the country, whereby i will not be able to see her nearly as often. My plan consists of keeping the romance alive.  I will never bring up any issues, and i will never allow myself or her to go to bed upset/mad. (these are in case there are any problems.)  Other things i will do is to visit her as often as i can, talk to her on the phone whenever her schedule will allow me to (i will make time and sacrifice my own schedule just to talk to her) even if it is only to say "hello, i love you, goodbye." I will e-mail her, and send her e-cards, poems that i have written, just little reminders that i love and am thinking of her.  I will send her letters randomly, so that she never knows when to expect the next one (allows for some surprise), and i will randomly send gifts and flowers for no reason at all.  Sometimes, i will just show up without telling her (surprise again).  I have a good many other ideas that i could share, if you would like, but i will leave you with my most important idea to keep it alive: I will trust her completely.  I will never allow myself to become jealous or untrusting because she really does not need that; college will be stressful enough without me adding to that burden.  I will let her grow as a person, adapt to her, and be her "backbone" in all decisions which she chooses; i will support her and be there for her. This i believe is truly important.  Good luck to you, and I hope that things work out for you!
