<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I've been miserable about this for a couple weeks now so I'm looking for a chance to vent and look for some advice. This is gonna be a long chunk of text.

My girlfriend and I just graduated high school. We've been together for a little over a year. Now I know the stereotype, "highschool relationships are dumb anyway, who cares", but it's not like that. The past year has been bliss, we're compatible, we have a lot in common, she's the least dramatic teenage girl I know. No nonsense, good communication, we've been very happy. 

We agreed a few months ago that when the summer comes to a close, it's over. Neither of us will have the time/means to pursue long distance during college (she will be in new york, I will be in indiana, pretty big difference). Even if we did, I have never heard of a long distance relationship really working out well. 

I thought for a while that a totally consensual, circumstantial breakup would be better, because there isn't any resentment. I was wrong. Both of us are miserable. Knowing that she doesn't want it to end is making the anticipation so much worse. I'd prefer being dumped because then I could act all angry, "she's a bitch, what's wrong with her, I never cared about her anyway". But I can't, because none of that is true.

I know it's just a high school relationship. I know the whole "plenty of fish in the sea" argument. But I'm gonna miss her so much. 

Does anybody have experience with this? Can anybody offer some friendly advice? It would mean a lot.
<bot>: My girlfriend (of a year) and I are breaking up soon because of college. Neither of us want to but we know it has to happen. Help?
