<human>: I've known my girlfriend for nearly 2 years, and she's been my girlfriend for 7 months. She is beautiful, smart, kind, and everything I ever dreamed of in a partner. We are best friends as well, and she has helped me through a LOT. She helped me learn how to express my emotions instead of bottling them up and eventually exploding, which allowed me to actually feel happiness and joy, leading me to quit drugs and smoking since I only used those things to fill the emptiness I felt inside. My life story aside, I love her more than anything, and I can really myself growing old with her, and being by her side for the rest of our lives together. She feels the same way, and everything is happy.

We are both grade 12 in Australia, and we graduate high school at the end of this year. We both want to get into medicine, which is pretty damn hard to do. The chances of us getting into the same university among the few with undergraduate medicine in Australia is very low, let alone both getting into universities at the same city. I know there are post-graduate medicine options available, so if only one of us got into undergraduate medicine, the other would simply go to the same university and do an undergrad in another major, because we both get good enough grades to easily get into any other major at any university in Australia. The issue is if we both were to get into medicine in different cities, how would we make long distance work? The general consensus on reddit seem to be that they NEVER work and are extremely emotionally draining. In such a situation, should I just give up going in undergraduate medicine and follow my girlfriend? The thing is, I know I'm only 17, and I don't want to live with resentment towards my girlfriend if that wasn't the right decision. I also don't want to be seperated from my girlfriend, because she is the girl I want to marry. Then other concerns, like the slight possibility that we may break up, which would make this all for nothing. How do I even come about making such life decisions like this?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Girlfriend and I want to pursue university degrees that are hard to get into, making our chance of staying together after high school very slim.
