How Much Do My Friends Mean To Me?
Amy Breitbach

It has only been about a month and a week since I was at school with all of my friends. Put that into perspective; just a little over one month. I've done all of the math and have calculated that I have put OVER 1000 MILES on my car just by traveling all over the great state of Illinois to see all of my friends in the course of that month.

My car can hold about 20 gallons in its tank and can get about 32 miles per gallon. So it can travel about 650 miles on a full tank. Today, the average gas price in the state of Illinois is about $2.325 per gallon and so in order to fill my tank it costs about $46.50. Multiply that 46.50 by 2 and you end up with $93. What I'm trying to get at here is that so far the total expenses to see my friends as much as I have costs nearly $100. And, quite frankly, I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THEM THAT MUCH!

Typically, I feel like any normal person would just say screw it and wait until the school year to see their friends again. Lol not me. And to be totally honest, every penny has been worth it because the time I have spent with my friends this summer was time well spent and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. So to my friends, if you guys are reading this, I love you all and you each owe me about $25.

My friends mean the world to me, am I crazy..?

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.
