An Open Letter To My First Friend In College

An Open Letter To My First Friend In College
Victoria Hockemeyer

Dear Friend,

I know that no matter how many weird gifs I send you and hugs I give you that I will never be able to thank you enough for all of the love you have given me.

Before I started college I didn't think that my soulmate could be my best friend, but I learn new things everyday. Through scheduling classes, to coffee dates and road trips, I am so glad that God brought us together.

You really saved me a lot of nervous anxiety and I hope that I helped you too. Walking into freshman orientation and knowing someone in my major and scheduling all of our classes together helped take the stress off of being the lonely one in class. We had each other.

Although we only went to college together for one semester, I know our friendship is long lasting and God-sent. You are a blessing, a wonderful, awesome blessing. I know for a fact I can NEVER thank you enough. You make me laugh like no one else can. Our Snapchat videos make me laugh so hard for hours! More importantly, our memories in school. They resonate with me every second of everyday. Study sessions at 1am, talks in the basement in the pitch black, and car rides no matter how short or how long we always find a way to make a jam session out of it. Thank you.

Now, I want to rewind for a second. When I met you, I was a completely different person. Depressed, lonely, and down in the dumps. I had been for a long time. You helped me just by showing God's unconditional love to me. That is one of my favorite qualities about you. God's light will never go dim as long as you are living. I know that we will have many more day trips, coffee dates, sleepovers, mocha shakes, jam sessions, stairwell hangs, and memories together and I am so excited about them I can barely contain it. I am so thankful that you deal with my sappy yet hard headed self. Thank you.

Now that you are moving away it just shows me that I need to cherish every second I have with all of my friends. Growing up sucks. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and God put you in my life at the perfect time. You are growing so much and I hope you can see it as much as I can.

I can't wait for our next adventure.


Love,

Victoria

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.
