Wentz 912... It definitely has a ring to it. At least, I think it does. The room started out bare with nothing on the beds or walls, but I made it my own. This room brought me a lot of memories that I will never forget. It was a very, very small room, yet it was filled with so much love and laughter. Recently, I got to move home and I was able to reminisce with my friends about the memories we made in the small 10' by 16' room. The room became empty and the cleaning staff came through to make sure everything was in line and clean for the Special Olympics to come live in for the summer. Then, August will come and two girls will come and make the room theirs, just like my roommate and I did. So, to the girls who make Wentz 912 theirs:

I've thought about you two countless times.

When I first moved in, I wondered who lived in my room before me and I wondered who would come after me. I wonder if y'all will be scared to start your college journey in a new place and a fresh life. I'm curious to know if you did a potluck or if you two came in best friends, already knowing everything you could about each other.

The window is broken.

I'm sorry I have to tell you this one honestly. And no, maintenance will probably not come in and fix it, but that's okay. Just remember that when it rains (and the rain does indeed beat on the windows very hard) a little will sneak in each time.

Your room is home for the next few months, so treat it as such.

Yes, there will always be a place that's miles away that you call home, but home is where the heart is. At some point, you might start calling your dorm room home and that's okay. I did it, and you probably will too. Decorate however you want, because it's all yours! A tapestry on the wall by the door makes the room feel warm and homey.

Your room holds some of the most precious memories.

I started my freshman year with no one I knew and I ended the year with the most amazing people, leaving some amazing memories behind in that room. Whether you're coming from Oklahoma City or Alaska, this room will make you feel right at home. Your room is where I let three of my friends dye my hair pink (because why not?!) my spring semester. Your room was filled with many laughs (and many tears). So, enjoy this room just like I did. When you look back, I imagine you both will feel the same exact way I do now. Make as many memories as you can and definitely leave a note under where the lights turn on. (There's a lot of interesting stuff under there, too.)

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.
