For my favorite graduating senior.

An Open Letter To My Senior Best Friend
Victoria Cox

I know that February is the month where your senioritis is seriously setting in. I remember my senior rut and how awful it was (you saw it happening) but before you know it, you'll be on a plane to Disney for senior trip and not long after you're walking through your graduation. The school musical will be closing, and everything will slowly come to a close. Despite all of these, I am here and always will be. High school may not be there forever but the friends that you make there will always stick and I learned that from you.

Maybe this week in particular is kind of long, but before you know it, the high school experience will all be gone. Summer will pass and college will creep up meaning our long distance will grow as you choose your new school. I know you hate me for saying this but you're growing older, but always remember, I'm still going to be older than you will ever be. You've been there for me for when I moved to a new state while switching around my whole life and now I'm going to be there for you.

You are absolutely my person.

No matter what, you'll be my goofball who knows every small, creepy fact about me. From all of our inside jokes to our random trips with the spontaneous decisions, we have created so many great memories at the least expecting moments. The world doesn't change too much from a public high school, so learn all you can while you're still there. Not just in class, but from the people you're around every day.

Take in what the English teachers and the History teachers tell you because they're not always teaching you the subjects, they're teaching you how to survive college. You've come so far from when we first met, it's time for you to see the world in all its glory. While this is all just another milestone in life, I'm ready to be there with you through every step. Whether we're skipping, walking, or sprinting for our lives, we're in this trip together. Today, tomorrow and forever, you're my best friend.

And so, here's to you and here's to me. Summer 2016, get ready to take on two college girls ripping apart the beach and taking on the world together.

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.
