A Letter To My Best Friends I Met In College

“I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help. If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you!" — Joey, Friends


The best friends you meet in college are a very special breed and are very hard to find. They accept you despite your homeless, running-late-to-class look. They love you in spite of the many times they've had to hold you hair after a night out or comfort you after a break-up. They claim you as their's even though your dance moves resemble Taylor Swift's and you're just plain goofy as hell (because chances are they're just as weird).

To my college bff's, first and foremost I want to say thank you. Thank you for being my therapist, occasionally my roommate, wing woman, study buddy, travel companion and partner in crime. Thank you for giving me a closet to steal from, a shoulder to cry on and always answering yes when I ask if you want to get food. Thank you for loving wine, The Bachelor and Ben & Jerry's as much as I do. Lastly, thank you for always knowing exactly what to say and how to cheer me up on my worst days.

After years of friendship, I now know why they say the friends you meet in college are your best friends for life. We've managed to maintain our friendship through the stress of finals and you're the only people who make pulling all-nighters fun. We're all basically part of each other's families now. We binged on fast food and pizza and we still thought you were beautiful after the Freshman 15. We've witnessed each other's terrible decisions and don't judge. We know all your secrets and idiosyncrasies and love you anyways. We've lived together and made it out alive. Your the girls I want beside me when I say "I do" and in a few years I want to be able to call you up and set up a play date for our little ones. Thank you for being the bright spots during the most stressful, confusing, costly time in my life.

So, to the best friends I met in college, thank you for being you.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
