5）　It？s　our　last　chance。　Most　of　us　will　be　going　away　for　the　summer；　and　after　that；　it？s　off　to

college。This　is　it　。

Before　you　get　too　crazy　and　do　something　you　might　regret；　you？ll　need　to　decide　whether　you

and　your　boyfriend　are　devoted　enough　to　have　a　long…distance　relationship　throughout　the
