A Letter To My Best Friends

High school may not have been the best years of our lives, but I met you guys, lifelong friends, thank you for everything.

A Letter To My Best Friends
Mary Kate Mullen

We've grown up together, from kindergarten to senior year; we walked the same halls, had the same teachers, and sat in the same chairs. Although we all became close at different times, we ended up as best-friends and I know you all will have my back for the rest of our lives. From bike rides, to driving cars, from homecoming to prom, and 8th grade moving up day to high school graduation and everyday in-between you were the ones I wanted by my side. We've grown up together, you guys have taught me so much. Even though I left for school and moved 2 hours away to Keuka College, I sure didn't miss a beat with you all. So this ones for you guys, thanks for being my best-friends.


You've shown me what I deserve, you tell things straight up and don't beat around the bush, but that's how it has to be. You have given me advice when I needed it the most, and an ear to talk to when I had no where else to turn. You have done things for me that others would have either thought twice about or would have turned their back right away. You have made me laugh when I needed it the most.

You know everything about me, from the way I order my food, my drink of choice, the outfit I'd actually be comfortable in, the face I make when I'm annoyed or probably any emotion for that matter, you know what I'm afraid of.

This summer we've gotten closer than ever; practically spending every night together between work and sports schedules. Doing random adventures, anything to have fun and spend time together before two of us head away for school and the closest we'll get to hanging out is texting how bad our day went or comparing our crazy assignments in our group message, and the only way I'll get to see your faces is Snapchat. Thank you for having fun with me and being down for whatever even if it's just watching a movie or sitting in the hot tub.

So to my high school best friends, thank you for everything, you all have a very special place in my heart. We started as friends and are becoming sisters, you all are the sisters I've never had, never leave me side. From worrying about me when I first went away to school because I never answered to laughing at me for the stupid decisions I make. You guys show me what good friends look like and I can honestly say I've never been closer to someone, you guys know me like the back of your hand and I wouldn't change a thing.

You made high school tolerable and you'll make the rest of my life enjoyable.

I love you Fab 5 or as they call us... Mom Squad

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.
