Have you ever heard someone come back from traveling the world and say "Wow, I wish i just stayed home, my trip was boring." NO! It simply doesn't happen. Everyone loves to travel and if you think otherwise, here are 10 reasons why you should broaden your horizons?

1. Scenery/Nature

Aren't you bored of the same trees, the same bushes, the same roads? It's time to see new trees, new bushes, new roads!

2. Food

Trying new food has to be one of the most exciting (or, if you're like me, scariest) experiences EVER. Realizing you are absolutely in love with the new food? AMAZING!

3. New views

Growing up in the United States, we are privy to a very unique culture that does not exist anywhere else. Traveling to other countries makes you realize just how different the world is.

4. Understanding of other cultures

Other cultures are vastly different than our own- for example, in India, cows are considered sacred and would never in a million years be used for food. In America, most people eat cows every day.

5. Adventure

You can do things you've never done before! You can go mountain-climbing for your first time, you can visit historical castles, you can do just about anything!

6. Reflection on own Life

Most people living in the United States enjoy a privilege quite unlike anywhere else in the world. Traveling to impoverished countries really helps us realize the privilege that we have by living in the "Land of the Free".

7. Finding the unknown

There are so many parts of this Earth that have yet to be found- go find one!

8. Life is short

You never know when your last trip will be your last.

9. Personal growth

Sometimes you just need an escape from everything so you can find yourself.

10. VACATION!

Let's be real, sometimes it's just fun to get away!

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.
