An Open Letter to My Roommate

Living with someone can make or break a friendship, but living with you has only proven the strength our friendship has.

An Open Letter to My Roommate

To My Amazing Roommate,

When I first moved into my dorm, I had this idea that my roommates and I would be lifelong friends. I blame all of the cheesy early 2000's movies I watched, because the college roommates in those movies always got along.

As you know, that's definitely not the relationship I had with my first set of roommates. They were less than spectacular, but when I moved in with you I finally got the kind of roommate every girl dreams of having in college.

I'm so thankful I can live with someone that supports me in everything I do. Whether it's supporting my career path or the crazy things I do in school, you push me to be the best version of myself and you make sure I get my stuff done. You support my makeup obsession and my love home decor.

I know I can be a handful sometimes and my obsessive tendencies about the dishes is probably very annoying. But you love me anyways. The nights when both of us are home and we can just watch movies together and catch up are nights that I'll always remember.

Thank you for helping with me through my heart break and making sure I always know that I'm better than some boy who doesn't want me. There are times when I think I'm fine and then all of a sudden the pain hits me like a bus. But you're always there to help me and remind me that I'm better off without him. And sometimes you yell at me for even mentioning him because you know I need to hear it.

Thank you for going on random shopping adventures with me and always being up to share a pizza with me. Let's face it, college sucks and there are those nights when all you want is pizza. Even at 3:00 in the morning. You support my 3am pizza needs and that's a special quality.

Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick and for making sure I always go to class/work. Despite my love for sleep. Thank you for embracing my love of not wearing pants and for only laughing at me for a little bit when you come home to me in an outrageous face mask.

Thank you for watching hours of Say Yes To The Dress and Jersey Shore with me and loving every minute of it. Thank you for sharing my love of throwback music and dancing with me to Jesse McCartney on a Tuesday night instead of doing our homework (which we usually regret later but it's too much fun not to do).

I never had a sister but living with you feels like I finally got one, as disgustingly lame as that sounds. We get on each others nerves, no doubt, but we have one hell of a time together and that's what having a roommate is supposed to be like.

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.
