When A Big Studies Abroad

Dedicated to my Big Angel

When A Big Studies Abroad
Alexa Caplinger

Dear Big,

So, September 5th is a lot closer now, which means that you'll be flying off to London, England. I will already be back at school and in the sorority house this year. I'm really excited, but a piece of me will be missing. It's only a semester, I know, but it will feel like an eternity.

There will be so much that we will miss out on as we part ways this semester, but you will only be an international FaceTime away and there's always GroupMe too. We can do it. I believe in us. I mean, we somehow managed to stay away from each other all summer until your birthday.

I want to send you off with some things to remember. I will always be your Little. No matter how far apart we are, I will still manage to bother you with my problems and craziness. I will send you loads of snapchats out of boredom and sing to you like I always do. I'll send you so many pictures once I receive my Jersey with my awesome nickname "Smooth Criminal."

I promise to bother Grandbig and Great Grandbig too while you're not around. I also promise that when you get back for the spring semester, I will hopefully make you a Grandbig as well. Now, I have some requests for you.

Promise me that you'll send me loads of tourist-y snap chats and pictures. Promise me that you will still manage to study hard considering you're still attending school while you're there. I hope you get to visit Brighton, England while you're there as it's absolutely gorgeous. I hope you get to shop at Tesco's and Primark and live a whole semester's worth of British-ness. Enjoy some Cadbury chocolate, biscuits, chips, and all the delicious British goodies!

Promise me one last thing and I'll promise you something back. Promise me that you will have the time of your life, not a worry in the world, (and maybe if you come across some British YouTubers have them hit me up), but most of all do BIG things. I promise you that I will rep my nickname proud and that our bond will be even stronger when you return.

Love,

Little

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.
