As we all know, long-distance relationships can be hard, especially with school and work preoccupying a majority of a student’s time. This week, I set out to find someone at Colorado State University who would be willing to let me see how hard it is for them to be in a long-distance relationship.
I found Nicole Leckenby and Michael Kohler. Nicole is a freshman ecosystem science and sustainability major and Michael is a 21-year-old living in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Here’s a Q&A about their relationship. They’ve been together for four months.

Q: Where did you two meet?
Nicole: At Devan’s 21st birthday party.
Q: Is it hard being in a long-distance relationship?
Nicole: Yes, unless you can find a system that works for seeing each other and talking.
Michael: They can be — just have to communicate and work through it.
Q: What are your favorite things about each other?
Nicole: We get along. We always have a good time, and he is easy to talk to. He is funny, and it’s just effortless.
Michael: We get along. She’s easy to talk to. (*Laughs*) I thought she was hot, too. She makes me laugh and has a great personality.
Q: What advice would you give to other students?

Michael: Be faithful, honest, make time for them.
Nicole: Be faithful, follow through with plans, even if it’s hard. Remind them that you miss and love them often. When you can’t see each other, talk on the phone.
