To The Men Of KU Basketball

From the Jayhawk Nation.

To The Men Of KU Basketball

After taking a few days to settle down and filter through all my emotions I felt during the University of Oklahoma versus the University of Kansas basketball game, I can now say thank you -- not only for one of the most exciting games in NCAA history, but for every game I have watched you play and will continue to watch you play. I believe that it is not a KU basketball game unless you've gone through about 100 different emotions. You boys keep us on our toes, always guessing, and never allowing us to stray for one second from watching your games.

To our veterans Mason, Selden, Graham, Manning, Mykhailiuk, Self, Greene, Traylor, Lucas, Ellis, and Mickelson: Thank you for showing our new players the way we do it here at KU, and being phenomenal examples. When you men step on the court, your fans all sit back in their seats a little more in confidence knowing you can handle whatever comes your way. You have made this 2015-2016 team what it is!

To our amazing new additions: Vick, Diallo, Bragg, Young, and Coleby. Thank you for living up to the hype when you joined the Jayhawk family. You have fit perfectly on the court with the veteran basketball players.

To the coaching staff: Thank you for always supporting our players and dedicating an extreme amount of your time to one of the greatest basketball programs in the country.

And to the one and only Bill Self: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for keeping KU basketball what it is for so many years, and continuing a truly amazing tradition. You always believe in those boys and stand up for them which is something every Jayhawk fan and player appreciates. You're an extraordinary coach, and we thank you for allowing KU to be your home.

The Jayhawk Nation is not the only group of people who can see this team going to the National Championship. Here in Lawrence, we live for watching the KU basketball team and this year's team is the whole package! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as well as hearts of Jayhawk fans all across this World. You men put a smile on our faces every day.

This team is going to do amazing things.

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.
