Solo Explorer

Chapter III of my college story

For this upcoming year, I will be living on my own. No Roommate. Just me in a single room. To experience what it is like to be on my own. To fight my own self battles with no crutch. No longer having to write to my best friend not to come back to the room. But a part of me is going to miss sharing a room with somebody. Sure, I could request to have a roommate…but after what I put my best friend through for two years…I don’t want to go through that process again. But there is something I am going to miss living with my (well now) best friend.

I am going to miss having some one to vent to when I feel frustrated about something. To be honest it happens a lot, I mean we both rant about a lot of stuff which I guess is good..i think.

I am going to miss having someone who will always be there for me, even if I won’t be there for myself. My best friend was my support when I was having my anxiety attacks. Sure, he may have felt helpless as he could not do anything but sit across from me while I cry my eyes out. But, he was there for me. He did what most people won’t do, letting me know that they are still there and waiting for me to come back to reality.

I am going to miss the chances to play practical jokes or make fun of him. He does not really care about it, and sometimes it actually makes his day, which in return makes mine. I do not do it to hurt him. In fact, none of my pranks involved him getting hurt, just something happening or hiding one of his things. Or making an entire twitter account tweeting about what he says.

But mostly, the number one thing I am going to miss about not having a roommate is that I will no longer be waking up right next to my best friend. My major mystery the first few weeks of us first living together. All the adventures and misadventures we had together in our two years in school. We had our ups and downs. We brought each other back up when we felt at our worst. We were each other’s support, I am sad that I wont get to experience that as much anymore.

Even though there is another part of me that thinking that this may not be the last time we would be hanging out in a dorm room… I mean there has to be a reason why I keep looking up inflatable couches on amazon ¬___¬.

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.

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.
