An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend

No one I'd rather spend my college years living with!

An Open Letter To My Roommate Who Became My Best Friend
Mikayla Coyne

Hey Roomie,

After spending our first year of college together, I realized that you really must be some kind of saint for putting up with me. You've seen it all; my best and worst moments, and I've seen all of yours. This year definitely had its ups and downs, but I'm so glad I got to experience it living with you.

Getting the email from you saying you were my roommate sent thousands of different thoughts through my head. I had no idea who you were, and it's hard to believe we met only a few months ago. After creeping through your social media for about two hours, I realized how much we had in common. Once we started texting and actually getting to know each other, I couldn't wait to finally move in and get to know you.

After we moved in and talked for hours, I never knew how I didn't know you before. We clicked from the start and started doing literally everything together. You're just as Starbucks and cupcake obsessed as I am, which is just about all I could ask for in a roommate. You're always the first one to tell me when I'm being unreasonable or to back me up even when we both know I'm wrong.

Thank you for putting up with my annoying rants and for hating the same people I hate. Thanks for always telling me which outfits look good and bad, and for supporting my shopping addiction. You have my back through it all and it's nice to know I always have someone to lean on.

You've seen some of the worst sides of me. From waking up in the morning to the struggle of going to the gym. You were never one to judge, which made it that much easier to be 100% my crazy self around you. We lay up in bed for hours just talking about whatever comes to mind until, eventually, I end up talking to myself because you always fall asleep on me.

We spent almost every second together unless we were in class or attempting to get homework done. I knew your schedule and you knew mine, and as soon as class was over we knew exactly what we wanted to go and do. Which was most likely go to target or get something to eat. Most of the time I'm not sure how we have exactly the same mind, mood and everything in between.

I'm so excited to move back in so we can get back to our Food Network binges, fro-yo runs and stalking random people on Instagram. You will forever be my favorite roommate, and one of my best friends for life!

xoxo,

Your Roommate for life

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.
