An Open Letter To Jennifer Lawrence

"I'm a big believer in accepting yourself and not really worring about it." -- Jennifer Lawrence

Dear Jennifer,

Can I call you Jen? Okay, great.

Jen, you are someone who I would greatly consider being best friends with on any given day and yes, I know that's what every other person on the planet says but honestly, it's the truth. Every single time you do press and you hold nothing back which makes you that much better. I prefer people to be more open, honest and have a great sense of humor, especially if they end up having to make fun of themselves. Like who else does that all time (minus a few comedians here and there)?!

You're the kind of person I would rather spend a Friday night in with, jamming to some Adele, watching a marathon of ALL the Housewives while indulging in comfort food while our dogs chill. I mean, we're both 20-something grannies, so can we please do this sometime?

You gave a quote in the September 2013 issue of Vogue which I think many of young Hollywood can relate to and even those in the industry after x-amount of films/projects now will agree on and as a female, college student and public relations major, I find truth in it. To quote you, "I'm still getting used to everything. It makes me a little emotional to see how quickly everything changes -- that it changes so fast."

That fact that you are so open minded to speaking when it comes to issues (like the now Pres.-elect Trump, your hacking scandal and most importantly, being underpaid as a female actress in Hollywood in the now famous Lenny letter), is something we, not just as females, need but as a whole society. I think most of us are afraid of suffering the actions and consequences of speaking our mind so we play it safe and go along with what others say/do, but you stand against the grain and grit, hold your own and do it without apologies. That speaks louder to me rather than two people having a debate trying to one up each other in a contest of who is thinks who is better.

The things that you do keep personal and private, your love life for example and not using social media (with the exception of using Facebook page from time to time), is refreshing. A fair amount of the time social media pops up, it normally has something to do with someone feuding or some other negative story that makes us wonder how much colder can our world get so I applaud you for staying clear of it.

Thank you for helping building confidence in not only myself, but young females everywhere when it came to our looks. You give such empowerment when it comes to your body and with girls constantly striving to look like the girl(s) in the magazine, even those girls don't look like themselves, it has helped us become more accepting of our flaws.

Last, but not least, every single time you work a red carpet, I stand in awe. Aside from your contract with Dior, you always manage to pull of the most beautiful gowns that we all dream of wearing (The Dior skirt and sweater you wore for the Passengers photo call in Paris was breathtaking.) and the styles that most any 'everyday' girl could wear and I will admit to having serious hair envy you with that bob/lob that you have ever since growing your pixie cut out. I'd love to have a girls' day out and go on a shopping spree with you -- just let me know when, okay?

Much love (from your "future" friend),

Savannah.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
