Hey Pandas, What's Your Best Advice For A College Long Distance Relationship?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months. We are both going into our freshman year of college this fall. However, we will not be attending the same college. We will be about 6.5 hours apart. I know this does not seem like a huge distance. However, I am a college athlete and my weekends will consist of me traveling to sporting events. Therefore, I will not have much time to go visit him.
