To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester

I am so beyond grateful for these girls forever

To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester
Lauren Smith

Now that my freshman year has finally come to a close, it seems fitting to thank the girls that made my second semester of college an unforgettable one.

The fact that a few months ago, I barely knew these nine incredible girls is mind boggling to me. How did I go through first semester without you guys? How did I not go out with you guys every weekend first semester? How did I make it through without borrowing all of your clothes? So many questions are running through my mind right now.

It is so amazing how one event can give you your best friends. Thank You Alpha Omicron Pi for taking all of us in and bringing us all together. Without you, I wouldn't even know some of these girls I spent everyday with since January.

From walking to and from south halls basically everyday to running to each others dorms before a night out to borrow clothes. From Super Bowl parties and movie dates to late nights with Findlay yogurt and so much more. I am going to miss that so much.

We may not live that far from each other, but going from seeing you all everyday and being just a short walk away in East to now looking at Snap aps and seeing us all spread out, I have tears welling up in my eyes.

I am sure anyone reading this that knows they have already made that group of friends for life can agree with me that leaving college for summer and leaving behind all of the memories and experiences with "your people" is one of the hardest things you have done.

So, as we all reminisce by sending pictures and videos from the semester to each other, I just keep thinking that this isn't forever and that all of the goodbyes we said this week aren't really goodbyes, they are see you laters.

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.
