To The People I Graduated With: One Year Later

Just a little hello from someone who misses you dearly.

To The People I Graduated With: One Year Later
Ashley Yakopec

To my former classmates:

It's been a year since we closed the door to the thing we call high school. Do you remember this time last year as we were preparing to graduate? There are countless memories of happiness, laughter, and sometimes even tears. (Field day brought a lot of emotions forward.) I miss you guys. I look back at photos and smile, and sometimes even wish to be back in the same moments again; to relive those moments one more time.

I miss you guys.

I remember so many of our teachers telling us to soak in all the memories we could possibly hold onto because this time goes by quick. All of them were right. Time and time again we were told to have fun and make memories, and I would like to think we did just that.

Although we might all be home for breaks, some things just might not be the same. We've all changed and matured into amazing women, and it's always great to see just how successful each of you are, even if we are not on the same paths as we used to be. I look back and remember all the countless memories each of us made with each other and I'm so incredibly grateful for the time we got to spend with each other.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and I can't wait to see some of you again this summer! As for the class of 2017, I wish you all the best, and I hope you enjoy the "lasts" of your lasts of high school. Although it's almost over, make sure you enjoy the remainder of these moments, as they are precious, and you can't ever get them back.

Love,

A Fellow Classmate

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
