10 Things We Forget To Thank Our Parents For
Kelsey Simeone

From the time we are little, we always can depend on our parents for anything and everything. Whether this be teaching us how to ride a bike, or sending us a care package up at school, they're always there for us. They're the first people we call when something goes wrong, when we've messed up big time or even when we've received really exciting news. Mom and Dad answer the phone no matter what time, no matter where they are. Because we can always count on them, we take them for granted. Here are 10 things we forget to thank our parents for:

1. For always forgiving us.

No matter how bad we mess up or how many stupid things we do, they're always the first to forgive us.

2. For teaching us the most valuable life lessons.

Anywhere from "you can only change yourself" to "every dog has their day," the most valuable things we learn come from mom and dad.

3. For always being on our side.

Taylor Swift said it best: "I knew you were on my side even when I was wrong."

4. For helping us chase our dreams.

No matter how big or small.

5. For always being just a phone call away.

Whether is 11 pm or 6 am, mom or dad always answer within the first few rings.

6. For being our main supporters.

No matter what dream we're chasing, we can always count on mom and dad to support us no matter what.

7. For shaping us into who we are.

We wouldn't be who we are without you.

8. For teaching us right from wrong.

9. For giving the best advice.

10. For loving us unconditionally.

Mom and Dad, a million thank you's would never be enough.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
