A letter to the girls who keep me sane.

To My High School Best Friends...
Sarah Sistrunk

To my high school best friends, thank you for getting me through my high school years. Those four years would have been boring and miserable without y'all! I could have never survived those locker filled halls and crazy teacher's classrooms if I hadn't had y'all by my side. Friday night football games turned into weekend long parties. Thank you for the unlimited amount of sleepovers and car jam sessions. And speaking of car jam sessions... I'm glad I found friends who could go from High School Musical to rap to country and who didn't mind my horribly off key voice. Every car ride turned into a concert or a deep conversation about life. The best time for deep convos were at night though, when we would be just about to fall asleep and then all the sudden have the need to spill out all of the questions that have haunted us. It was then that I learned so much about life and took what you guys have to say to heart.

To my high school best friends, thank you for always speaking truth into my life. I know I can always come to you guys for anything. Y'all will tell me straight up if I'm about to do something stupid, but you will also let me make my own mistakes and be there for me when I didn't listen to y'all in the first place. You guys are my go to for everything, whether it's something serious or just freaking out because I saw the cutest baby ever. I know I can always come to y'all to receive the same amount of emotion I feel on any subject I present to you, especially cute boys! Even though our taste in guys are very different, I will always have to have your approval on the boys I date. If y'all disapprove, then bye bye boy!

To my high school best friends, thank you for not only sticking with me through high school but also college. First semester of freshman year was the longest amount of time we had ever been apart since we had met. It was hard to be apart, but the reunion was great and it was so amazing to realize that nothing had changed between us. We were going to make this different college and towns thing work! Yes, I am jealous of your new friends, just as I know y'all are jealous of mine, but I'm glad y'all have people looking out for you at college. But just don't forget about me when you're at school.

To my high school best friends, thank you for being the best friends I could have ever imagined. I am so blessed that God brought y'all into my life and I pray that y'all never leave. As we get ready to leave for school and take on another year apart, I am so glad that we had these few months to reconnect. I am constantly overwhelmed that I get to have such beautiful, Godly, awesome girls as my friends. I love you girls!

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.
