If the shoe fits, I'm talking about you.

To My Freshman Year Roommate: Thank You

Thank you for...always eating my food, but when you didn't, thank you for leaving the last crumbs of my chips, or the last drops of my coffee creamer.

Thank you for...being obnoxious and loud when getting ready for your 8 a.m. I love waking up at the crack of dawn to the soothing sound of cheesy country music.

Thank you for...always throwing your dirty clothes around the room. I love my part-time job as a maid! My parents are so proud.

Thank you for...stumbling in drunk at 3 a.m. on any given weekday, and deciding that watching TV, blasting music and inviting the night's crew into the room all at once was a smart idea. Ingenious.

Thank you for...inviting guests in whenever you please, especially when I'm taking my afternoon nap or just coming out of the shower.

Thank you for...FaceTiming and calling your parents 24/7. The nagging voice of your parents really helps me when I'm studying and trying to do my homework.

Thank you for...leaving out the pizza you drunkenly ordered on $1 shot night. I love waking up to the smell of greasy garlic crust.

Thank you for...for going to bed at 8 p.m. some nights, just because "you felt like it." No, it's fine! I really don't mind being kicked out of my own room.

Thank you for...trying to convince me to let you bring your significant other home with you some nights, insisting me that you guys are "just going to sleep."

Thank you for...not knowing how to use a key, resulting in several maintenance reports of lock being "broken" and having to change my key multiple times throughout the year.

Thank you for...wearing my brand new clothes out and returning them with hole and a couple of unknown stains. Oh, and let's not forget the multiple Snapchats that were sent.

Most of all, thank you for..proving to me that living with you is nearly unbearable.

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.

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.
