<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Some backstory: I am in my second year of college, and she is in her third. The first year all was well, we made it work, it wasn't too bad since I was just working and could go see her every few weeks. 

The second year, we broke up about a month in, then started talking again over winter break and then near the end of the second semester we got back together. 

Now in our third year, we are still together and we both want to make this work and stay together but it just seems to be harder than it previously used to be, probably since we are both in school and can't regularly see each other. My question about this is pretty simple.. What is some advice or help you can offer to make this year a success for us?

Also, for me, I feel like I am more content with our relationship, and she is the one that is having the hardest time working through this. She tells me she just feels sad/unhappy and it is so hard since we cannot see each other, and she doesn't feel like we are in a relationship sometimes... More like we are just two single people who say they are dating basically, and not much more. 

It sucks for me also, and it is hard, but our personalities are just different in that regard, in that I feel confident and sure enough in our relationship that everything will be alright.

So yeah, if there is any more info that you think would be pertinent, please ask and I will take any advice you can give. Thanks!
<bot>: Me and GF are doing the distance thing and it is hard for us to stay happy since we are both in college and can't see each other that much and it is just hard. Any advice appreciated.
