To My Best Friends As I Go Off To College, I Can't Thank You Enough
Madison Burkhalter

Dear best friends,

10 years and counting this friendship has been going strong. Who knew that the swim team would be the first thing to bring us all together? Well, I sure am glad it did, because it gave me you two. The strongest, kindest, most loving people I have in my life...my best friends. Thank you for always being there for me at all times of the day and through the ups and the downs. You are the greatest humans on the planet and the sisters I never had. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me.

From the late night adventures to the relaxed days inside, there is never a dull moment when we are together. Jamming in the car is always better with you two. I can surely say that being a year apart in school most definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. I am glad that the world has given me two people that I know I can always count on. We have all been through so much together, and I know that there is more to come.

In less than a month I will have a tear-filled goodbye as I move 5 hours away to a new state and a new place. I know that some friendships won't survive this time away, but I know ours is a friendship for a lifetime. This bond will never break and you are the people who have been and will always be there for me. Thank you both for loving me for who I am, supporting my decisions and being my number one fans. Leaving you two will be one of the hardest things I will have to do, but I cannot wait to see what is ahead for you guys and to see you rock your senior year.

So, to my partners in crime, I love you both so much. Thank you for the support of a lifetime. It won't be the same not being around the corner from both of you. I can't wait to see where our lives take us and the people and adults we become when we can tell our kids we have been friends forever. The memories will last forever, and we will always be making more because we are better together.

Thank you for being the best friends in my life. Girl gang forever.

Love always,

Your extremely thankful bestie

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
