To my summer sisters,

Year after year we go to our home away from home and, in that home, I have met my best friends in the entire world...you guys.

Most of us have been going to camp together since the age of 7, but as the years went on our bond became stronger.

I am not really sure what I did to deserve friends like you. Without you, I would not be the person I am today, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you guys for believing in me, even when I did not believe in myself.

Thank you for always standing by my side even when I messed up, you were always there.

Thank you for the endless laughs where we laughed so hard we thought we were getting abs. I may not remember what we were laughing about, but I will always remember how you guys made me feel.

Thank you for being competitive, whether it was in a regular athletics activity or color war, you all were the greatest competition I have ever had.

Most importantly, thank you for giving me the best two months of my life summer after summer. As cliche as it sounds, we really do live ten for two.

Without you guys, I would be a different person. I would not be as outgoing, confident, and I probably would not challenge myself as much.

You all have taught me what a real friend actually is, school friends come and go, but you guys are forever, every single one of you.

Whether it was a late night ridiculous story, dance party on the basketball courts, stargazing on the tennis courts, making our clipboards all night in arts and crafts, being in the Pine Grove on Shabbat, dancing in the gym, Saturday sing, socials, or just sitting by the lake and being in each other's presence, these are moments I will treasure forever.

It's ineffable to put in words everything you guys have given me, but I want you to know you mean the world to me.

No matter where life takes us, I will always be here for you, as I know you will always be there for me. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for all of you special people.

“With the highs and the lows, oh the places we'll go”

I love you guys...OKAY?

-Yours Truly

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.
