Before i get started, i'd love some feedback from the ladies to see if they have a different perspective than what i'm seeing

And i'll apologize ahead of time for not posting here very often, hehe.

Anyways, my girlfriend and I, lets call her Stacey, have been together for about 6 months or so. I am a senior in college and will be graduating in 2 weeks time. She is a freshman just finishing up her first year, so there is a three year difference (22 and 19). Anyways, Stacey has always been fairly clingy, but its gotten a little worse in recent weeks. She gets really sad if she cant see me every day, and tends to be very emotional and vocal when i cant hang out with her. Her and I are on very good terms communication wise, and i do love her and do see that she is a good person underneath. Unfortunately, being new to college, she doesnt have many friends. She isnt very confident in herself either, and it seems like she needs me to help her feel good about herself.

Anyhow, my problem is that it is becoming very stressful for me to be around her, when all she does is get upset about how we wont be able to see eachother for a long time (i'm going out of town for 3 weeks). I guess i'm wondering if you all have any ideas as to how i can improve my/our situation? It just doesnt seem healthy that she always wants to spend time with me...sometimes i just feel kind of trapped, you know? Stacey always tells me that "seeing you is the only thing i have to look forward to." She is a great person though, and i know that this is definately worth working out.

Thanks!
