The Homesick College Freshman

I love the college life, but I really miss home!

The Homesick College Freshman

I’m homesick. Well, not really homesick, just missing home is all. Don’t get me wrong, there are definitely days where I am glad to be living on my own and making my own experiences out of the life I’m living as a college student. But sometimes, you just miss your mom’s cooking, or your dad’s hugs, or fighting with your sister, or wrestling with your brother. A place where your cats roam free and wild and there is always a bed to crawl home too. Well, that’s my house anyway, but everyone has a place like that. Whether it be your family home, a family member's house, a playground, a sports field etc, there’s nothing better than a place to call home.


So mom, thank you for always listening to me complain about my problems and braiding my hair. For making sure I was always fine when I wasn’t at my best and making sure I always looked my best. I could never thank yiu eniugh. You were not only my best friend, but also a great mother and role model and I couldn’t ask for a better example. You are the perfect medium between strict and easy-going and I’m glad I grew up knowing more about myself because of it. I love you! Thank You!



Dad, thank you for being such a great model of hard work. You always gave me a reason to work harder even when I though I did my hardest and taught me to never give up or in. You made me understand that Boswell’s never give anyone a reason to look down on us or think less of us because we were great and powerful in our own way. Teaching me to never care what other’s think and to always stay true to myself has always been a life motto and I promise to make sure the people around me and my kids know the power of the Boswell.



Jaylen, thanks for always being my second ears. I don’t think there is a closer person to me than you and I thank you for that. It is always a great thing to have someone close to you to always talk to and share your burdens and strifes with, not to mention dance and freestyle rap with, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be with than you. Thank you for always giving me some of the best advice of my life and always being by my side when I needed you. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be a great big brother. Thank you!




Lastly Jaream, Now, I know I don’t say this often, but I love you. I know I don’t treat you the best and I take your shoes and I make you do things for me , but I really do appreciate all that you’ve done. I’m glad I got to grow up with a little sister because now I know what it feels like to live with someone the complete opposite of me. Yes, it is annoying at times but, I don’t think I would trade it or anything. Because of you I had a best friend that I never had to leave home to hang out with or completely be a jerk too. I know I wasn’t the nicest all the time, but thank you for always being there for me. I love you.



So thank you guys. Thank you for being my home. Whether it was a call up at school when I wasn’t feeling my best, or even sending up money when I was broke from all the colleging I’ve been doing. You’ve alway been my home and I love you guys. Thank you, and I can’t wait to see you again.

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.
