To My Best Friend At A Far Away College

700 miles ain't got nothing on us.

To My Best Friend at College Far Away,

First of all, I am beyond proud of you for following your heart and deciding to take on your dream school this year. I have full faith that you have found your new home and you will meet new friends who will be a part of your life forever.

It is certainly hard to believe that this is the farthest distance we've ever lived from each other. In our early years, we were a 10 minute walk away from each other's houses. Once we were older, it was always so easy to be able to hop in the car on a whim (sometimes in my pajamas) and drive over whenever I wanted to. Now that you are hundreds of miles away from me for most of the year, I'm at a loss. It is not as easy to come see you when I need a hug or just want to go for a late night ice cream run.

Life is changing faster than ever, but I'm not convinced that this is a bad thing at all. Yes, change sucks sometimes and it's hard to get adjusted to a new lifestyle, but think of it as an adventure. I'm sure by the second week into school you'll love everything about your new college and will know in your heart that you made the best decision. Just like that, days will turn into weeks and weeks will turn into months: time that has flown by while you were having fun.

Because of the distance that separates us now, I will not be able to come talk to you in person when you need me. So, I want you to remember that I am always closer than you think. When you wake up in the morning and see photos of us hanging on your wall, know I'm right there pulling you out of bed for your 8 a.m. class. While you walk to class and our song comes on your Spotify playlist, I hope you smile and think of the nights we spent dancing around like idiots to it. When a boy breaks your heart, eat our favorite ice cream flavor and FaceTime me ASAP. See? Being apart won't be that bad after all!

Before you know it, I'll be booking my plane ticket to come down and visit you in your new home. So in the mean time, know I'm right there with you in spirit and am cheering you on from wherever I am. Be brave, put yourself out there and have a blast. 748 miles ain't got nothing on us.

Love,

Your Best Friend Who Misses You

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.
