I haven’t seen my best friend in nearly three months. Until now, we hadn’t gone more than two weeks without seeing each other since the day we met during Welcome Weekend of our freshman year. I left our shared dorm halfway through the spring semester to study abroad in Leipzig, Germany, where I will live until the end of July. That distance has been remarkably uncomfortable and difficult, but it has allowed room for growth and new opportunities.  One of the benefits is strengthening my bond with friends at home.
