Get help with your university decisions here! TSR Decisions Drop In 2025

Help! :(

This is going to sound completely pathetic I know but hopefully someone will be able to help me out here... My boyfriend left to go on holiday to the other side of the world 2 days ago for a month and I feel absolutely awful, Ive spent a total of about 4 hours not crying my eyes out since he left, didnt think I would miss him this much and Im not usually a big crybaby like Im being now! Its probably because for the 10 months we've been together we've not actually spent one day apart and have never gone for more than 3 hours without some form of contact. I've heard all the usual tricks of spending time with your friends and keeping yourself busy but Ive got a couple of problems here - most of my friends have stayed at the universities that they are at over the summer, and the one's that have stayed have full time jobs/spend any spare time with their boyfriends/are skint so there's not much chance of me spending more than one say a week with them. Also, I dont have a job this summer so I'm pretty much stuck at my house which is in the middle of nowhere with not much to do apart from sit thinking about my boyfriend. And one more thing, I'm so worried that something bad is going to happen to him with him having to catch quite a few planes and being on long car drives etc... so basically it just feels like someone's chopped one of my legs off and Im looking for a bit of advice to help keep me sane for the next month :frown:

Get a job? Grow up, learn about yourself and enjoy the time you have to yourself? Seriously, there's gonna be a lot worse things than this in life, spend this time bettering yourself!

I have tried to get a job all summer trust me.. there happens to be a hell of alot of polish people in my town and so there is next to no jobs where I live! Plus there's only just over 4 weeks before I go back to uni so there seems little point getting a job now... and I knoooow I am completely over reacting and there are alot worse things in the world that could happen, I'm not usually like this and its just completely knocked me for six.. guess I just need people to tell me that its not so bad!
