A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall

Came in as strangers, will leave as family.

A Letter To My Freshman Year Hall
Rate My Campus

To the girls on the third floor of WomCom, (including you Yadkin girls).

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you. Thank you for loving me, and supporting me, for crying with me, and laughing with me. Thank you for the random dance parties, and late night conversations. Thank you for being yourselves.

I will never understand why hall living is considered to be such a dread, because it is honestly such a blessing. I will never forget move in day, moving in with a bunch of strangers, and leaving as so much more than just hall mates, but really y’all became family. There were many times during the school year where I just couldn't help but thank the Lord for putting each of you in my life.

All of our unique strengths and personalities shined in the friendships we formed. I cannot help but smile at the random hall homework parties, and the random acts of love we have shown each other throughout the year. I do not feel anything but an overwhelming amount of support and love for my hall galpals. I do not think I could have asked for a better group of girls to have lived with this year at High Point University. We accepted each other, we loved each other, we had a blast with each other and now we will miss each other.




And as we branch off into our separate ways I just want to say two things:

To our amazing, and kind RA-- thank you. Thank you for taking on such a crazy group. Thank you for loving us, thank you for supporting us, and thank you for pushing us to reach our goals. I know it isn't always easy, especially when you have a group like us, but we are really thankful to have you in our lives, and wouldn't want it any other way. We love you, and thank you for loving us.

To my North third floor girls (and Yadkin), next year it will be so different not being able to knock on everyone’s door to celebrate the victories or cry about the not so great parts of college, but that doesn't mean I won’t be continuing to support you guys. I will be cheering for each and every one of you. Whether that means being 500 miles away, or right down the street. I hope you guys play to your strengths. I know each of you bring such unique qualities into this world, and I cannot wait and see how each of you are going to shine. I love you all, and the memories we have shared will forever hold a place in my heart.

So, cheers to my North third floor GalPals (and Yadkin). Thank you for being a crazy fun bunch. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for making my first year living on campus so memorable. I love you all!

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.
