on long distant relationship

I am currently dating a wonderful girl who is just as madly in love with me as i am with her.  our situation is very complicated and I will try and explain my situation as best i can. she is 18 and i am 22.  She attend school over 200 miles away.  she is in a sorority, a freshman ambassador, in her first semester of school, and of course has classes she attends. i on the other hand am almost done with school and don't really have a busy schedule by any means.  she makes it home about every other weekend and I usually get to spend half of the time she is home with her. on saturday we usually either tailgate and attend the football game at my college or do something a little more personal with our night like dinner and a movie or just spending time with the two of us just catching up and remembering why we love each other so so much. on sunday we attend church(just the two of us).  my issue is that although i understand she has many other obligation i feel like i am put on the back burner in her life and not appreciated.  some days we text alot and i feel important and other days we don't talk all that much or at all but i see her tweeting or facebooking with others.  we have been dating for over a year and at first she was never this busy and i was given alot of attention but she has gained a much much larger workload.  this is the start of a relationship i hope to be very promising and has the potential because we both want it. i just want some help in pin pointing things i can work on in regards to how i react to her busy schedule and what i can do to try and regain that attention. She hasn't changed the way she feels for me she has just changed the way she shows it because she is constantly busy and when she finally has time she either is so stressed out that all i can really tell her is to get some rest and try and forget about her day. she does tell me she loves me and how much she miises me and looks forward to seeing me.  i just struggle because i dont know how to handle the lack of communication.
i am looking forward to yals feedback thank you!

Your not being unreasonable, you have the right to know where you stand. You have feelings and have put your lifes time into this. This is time from your life and only belongs to you. Things will be ok either way.

It sounds to me like She IS being attentive but She has an active schedule 200 miles away and when She does come home She probably wants/needs to spend time with Family as well.  You are in Love, You want more time with Her than She has to give BUT She IS giving You time and professes to be in Love with You.

You say You are almost through with school and You don't have as busy a schedule as She, so why not move closer to where She attends school?  Keep in mind, She would still have the busy schedule but perhaps if You lived closer You could be together more often.
Good Luck

Just tell her how you feel and get it off you chest. Its all you can do to see what her plans are. Tell her the whole truth about how you feel and ask her how she sees the future for both of you. You will know where you stand by her answers. After you tell her your conserns and want to know how all this will end up, come back here and tell us and we will help to give you our feed back. Dont drive your self crazy with all these unknowns.Tell her now, not tomm but now.

Just talk with your gf and see what happens.  Either she will agree or not.  

All the best.
