Over the summer my best friend moved to New Hampshire (McCornack Geographic Separation Principle , 370). I have been very close to my best friend since the tenth grade. After my best friend got the news that her and the family was moving we made a promise to see each other everyday til the day she moved to New Hampshire. I helped my best friend pack her room up, pack her son room up. During, the days leading up to her moving we were very emotional and worried how would our friendship be. The week before my best friend move I threw a surprise going away party. The party was very emotional and everyone gave a speech about what they were going to miss about my best friend. I made a best friend vow about our friendship not fading off, texting, calling everyday, and to remain truthful about what ever happens. A few weeks past, and my best friend moved it was definitely a challenge. My best friend moving was a challenge because I could not do a seven minute drive up the street to vent, or steal some food. The main challenge is just relying on texting, FaceTime. I could no longer have fun date nights, sleep overs with my best friend and her son. I also say jealousy was a challenge because we both did not like seeing each other hang out with other friends. We have to learn how to learn to communicate with each other. When we are both working and doing school and we can not talk, we feel like we are drifting from each other. We are definitely learning how to communicate in many different ways so that we do not lose each other. Being in a long best friend distant relationship is a major change from seeing each other everyday to planning to see each other every few months. You do not realize how much someone means until you go from seeing them eight minutes down the road to eight- nine hours away.
