To My College Friends

A letter to my family away from my family.

To My College Friends
Encyclopaedia Britannica

I don't know what exactly I would do without the crazy people I've met here at college. I don't even know what I'm going to do on breaks when we leave each other. In the past three weeks, there has been so much going on that I now confide in these people and I feel safe with them. They are my family.

To my roommate:

I want you to know that you are my best friend. I love you so unbelievably much. At this point, you are basically my mom, my sister, my best friend, and my child. Of course each of these roles change based on the situation, but what I'm trying to say is, you mean a lot to me. I'm surprised that we're not absolutely sick of each other yet. I don't think we'll ever be. We share the same feelings for other people; if you like them, I like them and if I hate them, usually you hate them too. It's just how it works. When you're upset, I automatically feel tears come to my eyes, because I hate seeing someone I love be so upset. I just want to do whatever I can to make you feel better. We are a team. We stick together. Thank you for being such a wonderful roommate and making me happy when I'm sad. Thank you for dragging my laundry up and down the stairs since I'm too weak to carry it three flights. When we shower, we have the most amusing conversations and when we are using the bathroom, we play the song Closer and sing along to it. I would like to apologize for when I'm not in the best mood and my sass goes too far. It's only been about three weeks and I cannot wait to conquer hopefully the next four years with you by my side. You are my partner in crime and I don't know what I would do without you. Never ever forget that.

To the rest of my beautiful friends here:

I want each of you to know that I am always always here for you. I love you all so unconditionally that you could kill somebody and I would still love you the same. If you're stressing out about an exam that you have to study for, or a boy who you are wigging out about talking to, or even if you're upset and overwhelmed with all of this school work, I will never judge you, I will give you the biggest hug and try to crack a joke to make you feel better (as you know). You have all been there for me at the worst times and I cannot thank you enough. We start our mornings with a hug, we end the day with a "goodnight, I love you", and even a kiss on the head. Whether my roommate is gone and I don't want to be lonely or I'm hungry and want to order Chinese food, or even if I'm in the mood to go on a Friendly's date, you are the ones who pull through for me. One of you even carried me up three flights of stairs when I was sore from lacrosse. Who does that? An amazing human being, that's who. When a friend moves across campus and you can still have a movie night complete with Chinese food and gossip, that's when you know it's real. I have so many things to thank you all for. Thank you for being there for me when I'm at my worst. Thank you for hugging me when I'm sad and trying to make me laugh. Thank you for putting up with my sarcasm and my witty sense of humor. Thank you for never giving up on me. It means more than you know when I'm upset and you guys want to hug me and cuddle with me until I feel better. I don't even think that I can express how thankful I am and how much love I have for each of you.

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.
