An Open Letter To The People Driving From The Party
Boise Weekly

To the person leaving the party,

Hey there! What is going on? That party was pretty awesome, wasn't it? I just have one question for you though. Where do you think you are going? I hope you aren't thinking about driving anywhere. Do you really think that you are in any way in good shape to drive?

If you just said, "Yeah!!!! Of course I am good to drive!!!!!" Get ready for a slap up side the head and think again. You have been drinking for the past couple hours and now you think that you are good to drive... Really?

Let me tell you what you are going to be doing if you start that car. You are putting a countless number of innocent people in danger because you are "good to drive." You are also putting your life in danger.

Imagine this: You start driving home because you only had like three or four drinks. While you are driving home all of a sudden there is a car that came out of nowhere and the next think you hear and see are police sirens and lights. They put you and handcuffs and put you in the back of a squad car and you have no clue what is going on. You soon find out that that you T-boned that car. The driver of that car was a 17 year old kid who was going to be the first in their family to go to college. They were going to go and play basketball at Duke. They are now paralyzed from the waist down and lost their scholarship to go to school. Now you ruined a dream and you have a fine up to $10,000, you are heading to jail for up to two years, and possibly longer because of other charges all of that because you were "alright to drive."

Please, if you still feel like driving, don't do it. Don't drive for all of the people that care about you. Your parents. Your siblings. Your best friend. You have no clue how much they will miss you if you were to die in an accident. Please for you, your family, your friends and your future. Don't drink and drive.

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.
