"My advice to anyone starting a long-distance relationship is take each day as it comes, have fun, enjoy and make the most of your time together, communicate with each other often, even the silly little things, they matter too, and most importantly remember the great times you have shared when they aren't around! Oh and long distance isn't easy!"
