damn it took him 7 years just to get in? wtf was he doing?

I know right? He was already a freshman in college so why 7 years? And why did it seem like they hadn't seen each other in all that time? I would felt better if one it wasn't 7 years and 2 at least a montage of them visiting each other.

Let’s pretend it was 3 years . My brain calculated that as a translation error

2 years extra for millitary service ig?
