To My Brothers, From Your Sister In College
Andrea Bowers

To my dearest brothers,

First of all, I'd like to tell you both thank you for being the way you are. Thank you for loving me and putting up with me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for aggravating me. Thank you for the millions of questions that drive me crazy. I couldn't imagine either of you any other way.

I'm sorry that I can't make it to every game, awards ceremony, and class party. I really try to, but being at college doesn't always allow me to be there.

I want you both to know I miss you dearly. While I love being in college, I miss being in the room right beside yours. I miss being able to talk to you in person when something is going on.

I know we fuss and fight when I'm home, but it wouldn't be home if we didn't. I'm thankful for winter breaks, summer breaks and weekends we get to spend together. They mean a lot to me, whether you two know it or not.

I'm thankful that I can tell you anything. I'm thankful that you listen, no matter how uninteresting my problems seem to you. I'm thankful that you're there for me when no one else is. I'm thankful that I can trust you.

You two may be younger than me, but you've taught me a lot. You've taught me what it means to be a friend and a sister. You've taught me how to take care of someone, because we all know how much I love to be bossy. You've taught me how I should be treated by others. You've also taught me everything I know about football.

I've always treasured you two, even though I don't always act like it. I was so excited to have two brothers. It never bothered me that I ended up with brothers and no sisters. I've loved watching you two grow and learn. I love doing what I can to try to help you. I miss not being there so much while I'm at school.

Just because I'm not there with you doesn't mean I don't think about you. It doesn't mean I wouldn't do anything I could to help you. I love both of you very much and I'll always be here. If you ever need me, I'm only one phone call away.

Once again, thank you for being there. Thank you for supporting me and putting up with me. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being the way you two are. Most of all, thank you for loving me so much.

Love,

Your Sister in College

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
