An Open Letter To My First Year Roommate
Emily Long

Dear my first year college roommate(s),

Thank you for putting up with me and listening to my weekly and sometimes daily rants. Thank you for being kind to me even though I can be a messy slob that is too lazy to pick up her things after a long day. Thank you for listening to me whine when I'm sick or having a bad day. And also, thank you for not judging me when I waste my time binge watching Netflix. There are so many other things I could be thanking you for but these are the main things I know you put up with.

I'd also like to thank you for not being an awful roommate that we all were warned about. I know my flaws and I know I can be the exact opposite of a neat and tidy person but thank you for not letting that make you turn against me. We all came into this a little worried about the people we were going to be living with but hey, we live together, we can't be sunshine and butterflies 24/7. We have our problems and I'm glad we can get through them and still don't absolutely hate each other.

I'm glad I got to experience all my college firsts with you and experience being a new fish in a big sea with you by my side. I know first year roommates don't always stay best buds but I know I will always appreciate you and remember some good times. Thanks for dealing with me and sorry for sometimes being a handful.

Sincerely,

Your sometimes messy and whiney 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.

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.
