You Can 100% Keep Your High School BFFs

It's not rocket science, people.

You Can 100% Keep Your High School BFFs
Lauren Paolini

On TV, it seems like a big deal whenever characters graduate from high school. I mean, it is - but not for the reasons it is portrayed in the media. It's a big deal because it is a great accomplishment that you start to work towards in kindergarten. But on TV, it seems like a complete send off to everyone you have ever met before graduation - but I assure you it isn't.

In reality, I am still and will always be best friends with my best friends. Sure, I'll make new ones along the way, but that doesn't mean I'll throw the old ones in the trash. When I buy a new pair of shoes, I don't get rid of all the old ones (my closet can back me up here), so why would I treat my friends any different? My friends and shoes are pretty much the same after all - both are supportive and beautiful. My two best friends have been my two best friends since elementary school. We've been to hell and back together so college isn't exactly as far as it seems. We all go to different schools and that has only strengthened our friendship. We compare things about our schools and of course have a blast when the three amigos visit each other or are all home for the weekend. The coffee dates will never stop.

I'm not saying it's been a breeze, we are teenage girls after all. However, the fact that we can pick up right where we left off after an argument just proves how strong our bond is. I can't go more than a few hours being mad at my girls because by then I'll have some gossip to share with them in the group message. By then end of the day, we just NEED to send that ugly Snapchat to each other, whether we are sitting next to each other or at school.

On the final season of Hannah Montana, it felt like Miley and Lily would never see each other again once they moved on from high school. Just like my friends and I, they ended up staying as close as ever, and were not as far apart as they expected. If life has taught me anything, it's that if it happens on Disney channel it is possible in real life, just without the sappy background music.

So maybe you won't keep in touch with every single person in your graduating class and that's okay. The people that matter are only a Facetime away. If you are truly someone's friend, the transition to college really won't have that much affect on your friendship, except you'll be more excited when you get to hang out together and go to breakfast. The weekend is upon us and I can't wait to see you guys and my French toast.

Oh, and let's not forget about winter break...

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
