Some people say that high school will be the best time of your life, while others will tell you that they do not miss high school and did not like it at all. When my senior year came around, I thought that it was going to be the slowest year of high school yet. I was totally wrong! I also couldn't wait until graduation day, but now looking back I wish I could've slowed time down some. This letter is to all high school seniors out there.

Dear High School Seniors,

You are more than halfway done with your senior year of high school! In just a few short months, you will be walking across a stage and receiving your diploma. That may be a scary thought so some, while others cannot wait until that day gets here. As excited as you may be knowing that you are almost done with high school, take time and enjoy the last few months of school. Sure you may want to get away from your teachers and friends that you have had for years and experience the "real world", but once you are out of high school chances are you will probably miss some parts of it. I am writing this letter to tell you that college is not going to be like what everyone says it is. Enjoy every day that you have left of high school because you will find yourself looking back one day in college and wishing that you could go back to some of the memories you made in high school.

Don't get me wrong, college is great and you have so much more freedom, but having guidance from teachers and parents will be something that you miss quite often. As much as you may want to get away from your old friends be sure to spend as much time with them as possible. Once you graduate, they will become a part of your past. You may have a few that you keep in touch with while you are in college, but you will be so busy making new friends that you will more than likely forget about all of your old ones. The friends you have in high school might seem like they are your best friends, but once you get in college, you will find yourself making so many new friends and actually finding a friend who deserves the title "best friend".

Get involved in as many things you can your senior year. Be social and go to the sporting events, the dances, the pep rallies, and other school functions because trust me, that will be one of the things that you miss most once you are in college. Take everything day by day and enjoy the time you have left in high school because once you graduate and move on to college, you will have to start everything from new. College will be a whole new experience for you and may be a lot of fun, but there will be times when you start to think back to your high school years and wish you could relive your senior year just one more time. I know I do! For those of you in the Class of 2017, make the last few months of your senior year the best yet! The friends may fade, but the memories won't. I wish you all the best in these last few months.

Sincerely,

A college freshman.

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.
