10 Reasons Why the South Is the Best Place to Live

1. Southerners are the friendliest people around.
Born and raised to say yes ma'am and yes sir, people down in the South have the best manners around. Needless to say we were raised right. 


2. The tea is always sweet.
If you drink unsweet tea down here, people will actually question if you are even human. Sweet Tea is the preferred drink of choice, as it should be. 



3. We have the best food in the world.
Fried Chicken. Collards. Green Beans. Biscuits. Enough said.


4. Sports are our specialty.
Sports in the South are an experience unlike any other. College football is king and has the best tailgating in the nation. While the Braves, Panthers and the Spurs aren't too shabby either. 


5. Saying y'all is perfectly expectable.
You all? Who even says that?


6.We have the most beautiful college campuses in the world.
The South is known for having some the most breathtaking college campuses. No wonder why so many Northerners want to come down to the South for college. 


7. Our sense of fashion is top notch.
If we don't know how to do anything else, us Southerners know how to dress. Southern Tide, Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines are our favorites. 


8. Country music is the South's anthem.
If you don't like county music are you really from the South?


9. We know how to party below the Mason Dixon.
Partying is our speciality. A huge bonfire with kegs and trucks blaring country music, it doesn't get much better than that. 


10. The amazing weather.
We see all these Northern states having to deal with three feet of snow and we just laugh.

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.
