Going to college... Girlfriend upset. What should I do?

Well, me and my girlfriend have been dating for four months today. She confessed to me this past Sunday that she may not be able to handle me going to college. I would understand her concern, if I hadn't already stated:

- College is only 2 hours away, I would be able to visit her very often.

- I would call her every night and Skype her whenever possible.

- I would still love her and treat her the same way.

- I would spend all my possible vacations with her.

She still says that it will be too much to handle and she says to just wait and see. Should I just wait and see? She pretty much gave me an ultimatum saying that when I go to college she will break up with me. I don't want to go through all this hurt and pain just to have it end horribly. Her birthday is also in May and I want to get her over $500 worth of stuff, but if we break up a couple months later, I would rather save that money for college.

What should I do? What can I say? Is she being immature to think this way? Am I being immature for thinking that this shouldn't be that big of a deal?

Also, she is a sophomore and I am a senior in college.

Update:

And I meant in high school... A sophomore and senior in high school.

    You said "going to college." But you also said at the end that you both are in college.

    If you both are in high school:

    Yes, she is being very immature and selfish. Relationships that go from high school to college are often unsuccessful. People are lucky to make it past Thanksgiving break. In fact, there is the "Thanksgiving Test." If a couple makes it that far, they are more likely to stay in a relationship until the end of the school year.

    She is a sophomore in high school. First, that is uncool for a college kid to date someone that young. Second, you've only been dating for four months. Which means that the relationship is still young and it would probably hurt more later as opposed to now. You will only be 2 hours away. If she can't handle that, she's obviously not mature enough for a long term relationship.

    You're right; this situation really isn't a big deal. Besides, my high school sweetheart and I broke up (my first year in college... in fact, it was right before Thanksgiving Break) and now I am dating this wonderful guy. Things work out for the better, even if it may not seem that way at first.

    If you two are in college:

    I'm a sophomore in college and my boyfriend will be graduating this year. I understand that he needs to build his future. Though separation will be hard, we love each other so we will do what we can to keep our relationship going. I will NOT hinder him from living his life. He has dreams. Who am I to keep him to myself? If we end up breaking up, that's that and everyone will move on.

    Basically, what I am saying is that she is wrong to try to keep you from progressing in your life. Do what you need to do. She is being immature and selfish. Put in black and white, I say break up with her. Life goes on and everything will be ok, I promise.
