An Open Letter To My Best Friend

I can honestly say that I have never had a friend in my life who means as much to me as you. I have to thank our sorority for bringing us together but also our sheer love for so many things that we have in common. In high school, I had those people who I considered my best friends and at the time I truly thought that they were. But, after having met you and having the friendship I have with you today, I realize how trivial they were. I’ve been through a lot since being at college and through it all you have stuck beside me. Whenever I fell down because I couldn’t handle all that was going on in my life, I knew that you were always someone who would be there to pick me back up.

Last semester in particular was one of the hardest semesters I’ve had in college so far. Still recovering mentally from some of the hardships I was faced with the previous year and some fresh new wounds that needed healing, you were always there. Whether it was just someone to talk to or someone to do something stupid with, I could count on you no matter the circumstance. It’s not easy dealing with stress, breakups, family matters, and the never-ending list of things that we as college students face but having that one person you know will be there for you until the end is something that should never be taken for granted.

The one thing I am struggling with the most with right now when it comes to you is that I am graduating and you still have one more year. So you may wonder why would that be hard? It’s hard because I don’t know where I will be next year and there is a chance it won’t be close by to you. But I know that even if we are far apart, the depth and vitality of our friendship won’t suffer, for all we know it might be even stronger. My friendship with you is one of my biggest priorities and I can promise you that I will never do anything to jeopardize that because you are more than just a friend. You are my absolute best friend. You are my sister. You are my partner in crime. My number one flailing partner at concerts. You are my long car ride companion because for some reason if you put the two of us in a car for a 10-hour long drive we can have the best time and make it into an adventure.

Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I know sometimes I can be the worst and sometimes we want to choke each other but just know I only want what’s best for you just like I know you only want what’s best for me and to see me happy. When you’re happy, I’m happy (as gross and cheesy as that may sound. You have showed me what true friendship means and I can’t thank you enough for being who you are and showering me with love everyday. I love you more than words can describe.

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.

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.
