<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

Today we got lunch, and it ended up in a conversation about how our relationship has changed, and how it seems forced to have a conversation now. I'm going to college in about a month, and I'm not sure if my girlfriend or I is taking it very well. 

We've had conversations about whether to stay together or not in college, and we've both decided to try it. I'm staying in-state (about a 30 min drive away from her) and I am still, extremely in love with her. I feel like ending our relationship now wouldn't be fair to either party. I'm going on vacation soon, and we're going to take that week to think about what we really want in or relationship. From your experiences, what's the best way do you think to go about this? I mean obviously this is a lot of self-reflection, but I just want to know, for those that have done long distance, what am I getting myself into? What are things that we should try and work on to make our relationship work?
