An Open Letter To My College Roommate

College would suck without you.

Hey,

Every part of me wanted to start writing the lyrics to 'Closer' but I had to hold myself back. I want to take this time to acknowledge you and our beautiful friendship, and all of our stupid jokes and insiders and remind you just why I love you and our friendship so much.

Since the beginning, way back when we met on facebook, I was so skeptical of you. I would say no offense, but you already know what I mean. But seriously, we were/are so compatible, there had to have been a catch somewhere along the lines. At least that's what I thought because why would I be so lucky to get a normal, amazing roommate right off the bat? Well, since we've met it's been quite the adventure and we're only halfway through the year.

Thank you for jamming out with me, even so hard we got a noise complaint that one night because we were dancing so hard we made their desks shake! Also thanks for having the same music taste as me, it's comforting to know I could throw on an old Hannah Montana song, or some random indie band and you'll know every word just as well as I do. Thank you for going on drives with me wherever I go, it really sucks without you. Also, thanks for being my crazy dance partner while we're out, I don't know what I would do without our spontaneous synchronized dance moves.

College has helped me blossom in so many ways, it allowed me to be who I've always wanted to be, and honestly you have helped with that so much. We have both grown so much in the time we've lived together already, and we still have so many more experiences to come. Shout out to you for always supporting me and my decisions, it's only fair we support each other because, well, we do live together and that would just be awkward, plus even if the decision we're supporting is bad, we get one hell of a story out of it.

I'll never forget when we combined our beds to make one big bed for cuddling and movie night, or the time where you had me parallel park your car. I'll also never forget how much stuff you brought back to school after our four day weekend, only because I had to carry a lot of it and my arms are still sore. I'm kidding, but you do over pack, luckily, more than me, so I'm allowed to call you out on it. Let us also not forget all the weird boys we've met who we've turned their first names into last names and their new first names are 'Creepy.'

There's nothing I love more than our late night talks about getting married one day, our careers (if I ever make up my mind), and whatever we can really think of. It's always nice to have you right across the room to complain to, even if it's just about the fact that I feel so bloated to the point that people might mistake me for a cow. There's nobody else I would want to get lost with while walking around campus to find our new classes.

There are a million other things that I could bring up, but I felt that these were definitely worth mentioning. Thank you for not only being the best college roommate anyone could ask for, but being my best friend. You're my number one and I don't know what I would do without you. I cannot wait to experience so many more things with you and have you by my side for the rest of my college life.

Love,

Your best friend

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.
