The Best Years Come After College

It all begins after you get your diploma

The Best Years Come After College
Public Broadcasting

It's crazy to think that in one month I will be heading into my last year of college. I thought it would take forever to get here, but it came much quicker than I expected. While most people are scared and using this last year as their time to have as much fun as possible, I'm excited.

I'm excited to start my career and I'm excited to move somewhere that is more fitting for me. What I'm trying to say is I'm ready to start my life. I'm ready for a job and for me and my little pup to find a place that is meant for us. I'm sure my friends will say," this is the best four years of your life!" But I disagree. I think the best years of my life are yet to come. The best is starting a career, meeting the love of your life, getting married, and starting a life of your own.

We spend four years taking exams, stressing about not acing a test and now its time for the real world to start. It's time to use what I have learned in the real world. It's time to show possible bosses that this is what I think is going to be the best years of my life. It's going to be a crazy journey and I can't wait to see where I end up.

We also spend four years making friends that will be forever. I have met some incredible people over the past few years, and I know that the bond we have is like no other and we can make it through so many things. That's why I'm not scared about college ending.

Lastly we spend four years having so many fun experiences. We have been able to go cliff jumping at the Ithaca Gorges, going out every day of the week, enjoying a few too many drinks with great friends and living with the people that helped define who you are.

College has been a great ride, but I don't believe it to be the best four years of my life. I have the world out there that I am waiting to explore, and I have even more experiences that I can't wait to dive into. So here's to the best years that are going to come, the experiences, the people and more importantly the journey.

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.
