An Open Letter To My Roommate

Thanks for the fun, the laughs, the support, and the chocolate chip pancakes.

An Open Letter To My Roommate

Dear Brianna,

Over the past 4 months of being roommates, it has been full of fun, laughs and support. When we decided to be roommates we didn’t know each other very well, but I have been so fortunate to get to know you. Now that we have been together for this adventure, I cannot imagine living with anyone else. Thank you for always being there with a smile and putting up with all of my craziness.

At first neither of us really knew what we were getting into, just that we were new AGD sisters with a shared love of band and The Flash. Once we moved in together, it was obvious that we make great roommates. I’m lucky to have found a friend who is just as weird and geeky as I am, with a love of BBC shows, Marvel, reading, musicals, etc. We had our “Did we just become best friends” moment almost as soon as we moved in when we realized we were in almost all of the same fandoms. Something brought us together and now I don’t think anything can tear us apart. Not even if The Doctor decided only one of us could travel with him. Actually maybe not. Sorry, not sorry.

It doesn’t feel like we have been living together for 4 months, but it really has been a full semester. There’s been weekends of adventure where we go out and do fun things for a change. We have had lots of nights of homework and stressing where we somehow manage to pull through. Thank you for helping me relax and take a few seconds to just chill. We watched a lot of DC shows, and a lot of Netflix. Plus a lot of chocolate chip pancakes.

You are my mom away from home, you take care of me even though you don’t have to. Making sure I don’t stay out too late, and I eat enough food. And the right food, some of the time anyway. Asking how my day went, or what I have to do for the rest of the night. Its nice to have someone that looks out for me. Thank you for caring for me, even when I don’t realize I need it.

I don’t know how you put up with me, I am definitely not an easy person. I laugh way too much and way too loud. I snore. I never leave my bed. Sometimes I have a little bit too much energy (if an awake bar happens to affect me badly), or too little. Sometimes you can be a handful though, too. Like those nights when it's 2 am and you can’t stop talking. But it's not just you, it's both of us, babbling in our giddy, giggly voices, exhausted but so giggly we have talk it out.

Having someone there to always have a laugh, or a cry with makes a big difference when I am stressed out and panicking. I hope that I make as much as a difference in your life as you do in mine. Thank you for being one of my best friends, and the best roommate a girl could ask for.

Thanks for sticking with me for so long and being such an incredible friend. I cannot wait to see what the rest of our roommate years have in store.

Loyally,

Your Loving and Annoying Roommate

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.
