Dear Roommate,

Hey! You are probably reading this right now. Well, not right now. Right now you are watching me type this actually. You are on your bed, I am on mine if we reached our arms out we could probably hold hands because this room is painfully small. But anyways, enough about the current situation we are in. This letter is about how we live together in Weston Hall! Let's get started.

When we first met, I thought you were super religious and conservative and you thought I was wacky and did drugs. Maybe meeting each other at Lollapalooza wasn't the best idea. But hey, It's a good story. Then you moved in two days early and I was so nervous to meet you because I thought I was going to hate you, and you hugged me so uncomfortably while I was holding all my shit and then you disappeared and I was like like "Who the hell is this girl?!" Except we already had a 100-day snap streak, so I don't know why we thought this was going to end so badly. We were being a wee bit dramatic. Maybe it's because all of our snapchats were just pictures of us with the captions "OMG so excited for college!!!" and we didn't really actually talk much.

Those first few hours of college might have been uncomfortable but let's just look at where we are now. You are my best friend here. We do everything together, we are in the same sorority, we have the same Big, everyone asks if we went to the same high school. It's bizarre that we have only been friends for 100 days. (Give or take. I didn't feel like figuring it out exactly. I'm lazy, it happens.) So although I thought this situation was gonna suck and we would hate each other, I couldn't imagine spending all my time with anyone else.

So... I wanna just say thank you. Thank you for singing Taylor Swift songs with me, not letting me eat in the dining hall alone and introducing me to all your friends from high school. Also, a quick thanks for binge eating popcorn with me, watching me eat 5 bags of cheese-itz a day and anxiously watching our parents become best friends at the dads day tailgate with me. Thanks for dealing with my quirkiness, never saying no to getting Expresso Royale, and always telling me when they have double points at Starbucks. People may think it's weird that we spend all of our time together but like sorry we are friends. Get over it people. Jeez. Maybe seeing each other over thanksgiving break was a little much but what I don't understand is how people expected us to spend a whole week apart.

I promise I will stop laughing at you for being the worst public speaker and dropping your phone during dinner announcements one day. I promise to never let you leave the party because you are just going to end up breaking your ankle again. We definitely don't need 6 more weeks of crutches or that dorky scooter you had. You are the most uncomfortable person I know but you are also my favorite. Thanks for not ending up being super religious and all. This is the cheesiest letter in the world but you deserve it because you are going to be my roommate for the next four years (at least.) Jeez, we have a lot of shit ahead of us. You are the only person I would take 4 buses and an uber to Mckinley for and I having someone to order Jimmy Johns with is always a plus.

So the gist of this letter is you suck and I am moving out. Have a nice life. No, but seriously, let me know when I should plan on sleeping over at your house for winter break.

Peace out,

Your roommate that's 100x cooler than you.

P.S. Do you wanna watch New Girl or Gilmore Girls tonight? I am fine with either. But you kind of need to finish Gilmore Girls so we can talk about the New episodes. But New Girl is funnier. Hard decision man. :)

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.
