Hands down, Sleeping is one of the greatest sensations in the entire world. However, the art of sleeping is different for every single person.

Some thrive on only 4-6 hours. While others may need 10-12. However, some prefer to sleep 20 out of the 24 hours of the day. Their sleep schedule is more important than their work. Their Friday nights consist of seeing if they can sleep through the weekend with limited bathroom breaks and a granola bar.

You believe that by sleeping more, you are becoming the best version of yourself. If sleeping were an Olympic sport, you genuinely believe you could take gold. There are only some of the traits that can qualify you for a "Sleepaholic" but if you identify with more than 5 out 8 qualifications below, you are living one of the best lives.

1. You put your naps above everything.

People could say "Hey, want to get dinner," and "Hey, we should study," or "We need to talk." However, your first thought will always be, "Can I take a nap first?"

You plan your days around it and there is no need to be ashamed of it.

2. You can sleep anywhere.

Class, Work, Plane, Train. You name it, it can be done.

3. You dream about sleep all day.

From the moment you step out of your bed, you long for the moment you'll be back in it.

4. You envision yourself as a Mulan but you're more of Sleeping Beauty.


And do not get me wrong, you may be a kickass human fighting in place of your father to defeat the Huns when you're actually awake. However, you would not mind sleeping for a few months thanks to a sleeping spell.

5. You prefer sleeping over eating

Yeah, believe it or not, but this is a thing. You know the life of skipping lunch multiple days in a row to nap. Food to an Olympic napper is just a preference at this point. Unless it's Chick-fil-A, but that is an article for a different day.

6. You get a rush when you say "I slept 15 hours yesterday" and you watch how people react.

Whereas that is a light day for you, others are #shook when you tell them that you can sleep for that long and then wake up and take another nap.

7. You don't mind skipping things just to nap.

The phrase "Sorry, I'm busy" is your response to everything just because you want to sleep. However, you can stop lying to your friends, they know you're napping.

8. However, you're awake and present when it counts.

You never miss the important events, phone calls, or text because sometimes, you put yourself selfish needs aside to be with the ones you love... only sometimes though (Let's not get crazy)

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.
