How to know your friends are really much more like a fam.

How You Know You've Found Your "Fam"
IMG

We all have those people..those people that we have in our lives that we cannot imagine going a day without. For me, this would be my English Major Fam at OVU. They're literally 8 other amazing, wonderful, perfect even though some qualify as borderline alcoholic and/or abusive individuals. If you've met us or had the off chance of having an English class with the rest of us, you know just how crazy we English Majors can be, but they are people that I hope I will forever have in my life, even if we end up thousands of miles apart and our amazing group chat is the only way we ever communicate after graduation.

That all being said, here's a few ways that you know you've found your people.

1. You have a group chat.

Most people, especially millennials seem to have at least one group chat blowing up continuously. Other people will look at your phone on the occasion and respond with an immediate "dannnnnng." I know right? It is a "dang," but it's the greatest dang of your life.

2. You make fun of each other on the daily.

I feel like this one doesn't really need much of an explanation, but if you ever "Pull An Alicia," it means you clearly don't know how to read a syllabus and that assignment you're freaking out about that you "forgot" to do really probably isn't due until the next class period or even month..Yes, Gavin. I will learn how to read a syllabus this semester so I can stop the department wide freak outs.

3. You constantly are trying to better each other.

As cheesy as this may sound, your friends really should be in your life to better it if they're there for the right reasons.

4. You have ridiculous insiders with each other.

I feel like this implies most to Emily and me, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt if I look at Haley or Dorian and say "Gentle woman" whiling pretending to pull a sword out, they will both know exactly what I'm talking about. Speaking of which, we really need to get that script on the move. I will personally sponsor it to become a movie. No joke.

5. At the end of the day, even if you "hate" each other, you know you truly love each other unconditionally.

This also doesn't really need much explanation, but it truly is part of every true friend group.

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.
