The Story Of When Your Best Friend Goes To A Different College
Popdaily

This is the story of when your best friend goes to a different college. The story of how your other half, piece of you, baby boo, goes off to experience life hours and hours away from you. It’s a painful process excepting the fact that your BFF, partner in crime, forever friend and soul mate in friendship form isn’t here to do life with you. A process that demands you two spend every waking moment together before you have to say goodbye.

It’s hard to complain she’s leaving when you're happy to watch her go. You're happy to see her transform into the beautiful person she’s becoming, adding on to what she already is. But happy to see that after all these years she's just as weird as she was in middle school rocking the gauchos and Justice tank tops. You see in her how much potential, love and purpose she has that half of you wants to kick her out the door and watch her change the world. But the selfish part of you wants to keep her by your side to help you take on the world. These two emotions battle on the daily and cause most of your post bff departure breakdowns.

So this is to you, best friend:

Who else is going to sing 2008 Taylor Swift with me? Seriously, who is going to hold my hand in the car and scream out every lyric of “Back To December”? Who else is going to cry over the stupid boys we used to talk to? Who else is going to fight with me over absolutely nothing? Who else is going to slap me cross the face and tell me the truth when I'm doing something stupid? Who else is going to reenact the poetry slam scene from "22 Jumpstreet" with me (you better not do it with anybody else)? Who else is going to read my mind when nobody else has a clue? Who else is going to be the person I complain to, cry to and sing to? Who else is going to have such a hold on my past like you have? Who else is going to? I need these answers. Because I truly don't want another you.

It’s hard going off to different colleges when part of you is missing. But you know she’ll do great and that’s why half of you is happy. The other part just wants your BFF back.

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.
