10 Thank Yous To My Older Sisters
Anisha Patel

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays. Not only because of the amazing food, but because of the time we get to spend with family. More specifically, all of my sisters and cousin sisters are together, and there is truly no one else like them. Every year, I am thankful for their presence in my life.

Here are 10 thank yous I have this ear for my sisters:

1. Always picking up the phone.

I called ten times a day, and they pick up ten times. Even when I have the dumbest things to talk about.

2. Knowing me inside and out.

This really speaks for itself. You know all my triggers, the things that make me happy, sad, and all that lies in between.

3. Loving me unconditionally.

Little sisters can be kinda terrible. Thanks for not giving up on me yet.

4. Listening to me rant.

College is stressful, the people are stressful, and you always know exactly who everyone is in my stories. During all of my ten phone calls a day.

5. Talking to me when it's dark outside.

Walking through campus in the dark while you're alone is actually the worst thing. So lucky to have people who keep me company virtually whenever I have to do it.

6. Keeping me in my place.

Sometimes I get out of hand or unreasonable, and I can always bet on you to keep me grounded.

7. Giving me all of the unsolicited advice.

Advice I want, advice I don't want, all advice is welcome and appreciated.

8. All of the hand me downs I've ever needed.

I can't remember the last time I actually paid money for something in my closet. It is a true blessing.

9. Helping me with all of my school questions. 

Whether it was high school math homework, what classes to take in college, or all of the best places to go out, you always have my back.

10. Being my very best friends. 

No friend will ever compare to a sister.

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.
