How to cope/ not to feel sad about girlfriend being on holiday?

Question

Hi my name is Harry and I am 15 years old. I have been going out with a girl now for over 2 months and yesterday she left to go on holiday with her dad's family for around 10 days. I know it doesn't sound a long time but ever since she's left the days have started becoming a lot longer like feeling a lot longer than usual and I am sad and a bit depressed that she's gone and miss her very much. Me and her love each other a lot and she misses me a lot too but we have a problem with keeping in touch as her wifi at her hotel is very bad  and its hard for us to talk. For me its frustrating and sad because i want to see her as soon as possible and be able to talk and see her however i don't want her feeling bad about being away and not able to contact me. On one hand i want her to really enjoy her holiday as she only goes away once a year and that i dont want to be constantly messaging her and being desparate but on the other hand i miss her so bad and want her back with me again. With us not being able to talk with one another is worrying me in case she feels im not interested in her and that she would feel less interested in me. So can i get some advice on how to cope with a 
situation like this as she is my first ever girlfriend and this is the first time i've experienced this plz if someone coulf give me an honest and decent answer that would be much appreciated thanks

Chill out, Harry.  Everything is going to be okay.  I know at your age, 10 days away from your girlfriend starts to feel like an eternity.  But it's really not.  She'll be back before you know it.  It's perfectly natural to go through these emotions, but don't let it consume so much of your thoughts.  Just mentally count down each day until she gets back, after you wake up each morning.

It's normal to feel this way. 10 days might seem like a long time in your mind, but she'll soon be back and you'll be happy again! Don't worry, she isn't going to lose interest in 10 days, especially if things were great between you both before she left (which they seem to be) she will know the talking less is down to the WIFI and not you not wanting to talk, so I wouldn't stress that either! Keep yourself busy, go out with your friends or if you stay in then do whatever you enjoy to do to pass time!

You're so young, as for your first girlfriend.. Congrats. Its summer, you should enjoy what you have left before school starts! You should let your girlfriend enjoy her break, as being "depressed" & "missing" her, that's just jealousy honestly. Go do things, go for walks, make friends and go on adventures. Times seems so slow, but trust me, it's fast and you will be done school in a blink, your childhood will be over and you will look back saying why was I feeling like this, why would I feel depressed? why was I bothering her? One of the reasons relationships end is one of the person will act like this and the relationship is unhealthy. Please enjoy your summer and be happy! Tell her to enjoy her break and to text/ call you when she's done. It will be hard but fast and for the better!

In the meanwhile for these 10 days, find some activities/hobbies that you enjoy.  Spend time with your friends and go places to take your mind off.

This way when she comes back, you both have something to talk about.  The lesson I am giving you is that you do not want to be to clingy, predictable, and desperate.

So get out and have fun while you can, she is getting away for 10 day, not moving away.

You should focus on other things- hobbies, friends, family, a job, etc. Stop sitting around and pining for her. Being busy will keep your mind off her. Ten days apart won't hurt you. Put away your phone, get off the internet and engage in the real world. Stop dwelling on her.
