Leaving home is never easy especially after a crazy fun summer.

Dear Best Friends,

As this semester comes to an end this means I have thought more and more about you guys. Three whole months together, then five apart. Its never been easy but especially this time for some reason it seems even harder. Between the mini vacation, and working with each other almost every day, and random trips to the beach, Target, and The Border Cafe (because we are addicted to Mexican food.) This summer was definitely one for the book. Though it had its ups and downs, I would trade my time home with you guys for anything.

This summer tested us it tested our relationships, it tested us at work (Because we are technically the glue that holds that stone together.) and finally, it tested our friendship! I don't think I would have been able to get through this summer if it wasn't for you to being there for me and reminding me everything is going to be okay! I also don't think I would have gotten through the summer if it was for Larissa mom Joann and her making pasta for us anytime we asked. or making me chicken broth when I was on that god awful liquid diet!

Leaving you guys behind stinks! though you guys don't always see it because I only Snapchat all the fun I have. The truth is I miss you all like crazy. I even sit in my room contemplating why I chose to move 1,200 miles away. don't get me wrong I love this school I love my friends I've made here and everything I have experienced but this place will never be my home because my home is where you guys are!

I'm sorry for Factimeing you guys 1,000 times a week. just know that every time I call you its either because I think I just met my future husband (which is probably not the case), saw something or did something that reminded me of you, or because I just miss you and I am extremely jealous you guys get to experience college together without me. its almost as if I have this whole other life and you guy aren't apart of it, and I wish so badly you were. (The reason why I nag you guys to come to visit me 99.9% of the time).

I just want y'all to know that I think about you guys every day. I'm sorry I am missing out on college with you guys, but know that I am always here and will ALWAYS pick up the phone when you call. I LOVE YOU, MAMAS

Your forever friend

Erin

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.
