Going the Distance

As our vacation is winding down, we are looking forward to being reunited with our friends. Missing friends is probably the worst part of vacation. So, to keep yourself from sobbing every time you see friendship bracelets that just totally remind you of your BFFL, do this:

• Skype. The internet has made long distance relationships of all kinds possible. As for Skype specifically, it's great to see a familiar face after feeling assaulted by strangers in a strange land all day long.
• Yahoo! Messenger. Not only is it less of a hassle than Skype, you can text! OMG!
• Blog! Upload pictures and talk about what you're doing, then make sure your friends read it. That way, you can keep up with everyone if you don't have time to have conversations.
• Postcards. You may think they're outdated, but wait until you get responses from the people who just received them. It works better than Prozac in their morning OJ.
