9 Ways To Keep In Touch With Your Long-Distance Best Friend!
We live in a time where moving from one place to another has become so easy. The downside is it’s also made it pretty much impossible to keep all your friends in the same place forever. I’m sure at least a couple of your really close friends have moved away to pursue a degree, take up their dream job, or even get married. But that doesn’t mean you lose touch with them.
Sending emails is so passé. Today, we’ve got Snapchat, video calls and WhatsApp, and yet we struggle to maintain contact with the people we love. But it’s about time we change that.
Take a look at 9 awesome ways to stay in touch with your long-distance best friend.
1. Be her number one social media fan!
Whether it is liking every travel picture, sharing her OOTD, or leaving sweet comments on her latest food pictures, social media is a great way to stay connected and be part of her life. Trust me, she’ll appreciate the PDA!
2. Mail her a personalised care package
Besides birthdays and other occasions, make sure to mail cute things to her just to show them that you care. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, even a DIY photo frame works! Receiving a package in the mail is the best feeling ever!
3. Watch a movie at the same time
Do this over the weekend, when both of you have time to watch a movie together. They say distance means so little when you love someone so much, so don’t let the time difference get in the way of a movie date with your BFF.
4. Meet somewhere in between
During your vacations, try to meet your bestie at a location that’s smack in the middle of where you guys live. Nothing like vacationing with your BFF after you’ve spent so much time apart! There’ll be loads of catching up to do too.
5. Video call each other once a week
Whether it is Friday nights or Sunday morning, decide on a time when you guys can get on a video call. It’s a great way to stay updated with what’s happening in each other’s lives, and it’ll give you something to look forward to.
6. Let her know you are thinking about her
Text her randomly to let her know that you are thinking about her, whether it is a movie, a place, or a food item that triggered that thought. She’ll appreciate that you still think about her.
7. Tag her in memes and posts on Instagram
You know those memes that completely describe your friendship? Well, tag her in them and share a laugh. A good meme delivered by a BFF always seems funnier than it actually is!
8. Start a book club together
If you guys love reading, pick a new book and start your own book club. Read it chapter by chapter, and discuss it over long phone conversations.
9. Play internet games together
There are tonnes of games online that you can play with another player anywhere in the world. Whether it’s Scrabble or the plain ol’ Connect 4, have a fun competition with them even when you’re miles away.
C’mon, you’ve got no excuses anymore! Try these cool ideas out with your BFF and share your experience with us in the comments section below.
