This One Goes To My Best Friend

I know that this will be all you'll talk about for the rest of my life.

This One Goes To My Best Friend
Maria Perez

Dear bestie,

I honestly don't know where to begin. You know how horrible I am with expressing my feelings. I just want to start off by saying that I never expected to be super close to you when we first moved into college freshman year. You just a stranger who was randomly assigned to the same room as me. It wasn't until we shared our mutual love for The Wanted that we started hanging out more. You soon became my number one concert buddy due to all of the concerts we went together. Once our first year of college ended, you were one of my best friends.

Over the years, we've had our share of memories. All of those road trips to other states just to go to a concert (getting stranded in the middle-of-nowhere New Jersey was the worst). Our last minute decisions to go several tapings of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Saturday Night Live." And there are so much more.

You have become a part of my family over the past couple of years. My parents love to refer to you as the "adopted daughter." I always consider as my sister. We may argue and get mad at each other, we're able to talk it out and apologize. We've been able to vent about whatever is bothering us without any judgment whatsoever. We've seen each other cry. We've watched each other's back for the past three to four years.

With only two months left before we graduate college, it's weird to think that we won't be seeing each other every single day. I just want to thank you for being there for all these years. That you were able to put up with my anger problems and sudden mood swings. You've made it a one-of-a-kind college experience that I wasn't expecting. It'll be weird trying to maintain a long-distance friendship, but I'm sure we'll make it work.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
