Hint: it's every day of your life.

10 Times That Time Wasn't Real
Shultz Meyers

1. Those short naps you take that turn into years.

2. When you realize "Where Is The Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas was actually released in 2003, and not two-years ago. Crazy!

3. As you read this, the Earth is both rotating and revolving, both of which is how we measure time.

However, Earth is only part of a never-ending space whose voids we can only guess at. Our man-made system of time is not capable of guessing at the age of a universe whose origins is not known, and probably will not be known in a million lifetimes. (It is unclear whether there was a true beginning in the first place.) Our system of time only attempts to estimate the moments we have on Earth before we are recycled back as atoms into the cosmos. Time, therefore, can exist in multitudes across the galaxy or perhaps not all.

4. When you realize the Backstreet Boys are old now (!) What's up with that?

5. But, some articles suggest that if time were to exist, it could be linear or, most likely, circular.

Some theorists speculate that time can actually exist in multitudes and believe that everything that will happen, has actually already happened, perhaps proving a version of a “fate” or “destiny.”

6. The moment you remember there’s only two-weeks until college! Wow, summer really goes fast!


7. Another possible theory of time is the theory of queer temporality, which suggests that queer people experience time faster than their straight counterparts.

(Could this be an explanation for the U-Hauling stereotype?) This is probably due to the fact that queer people develop different spatial and temporal relationships in regards to their world around them.

8. Realizing that 2016 is almost over and you still haven’t done anything with your life. #tooreal.

9. Someone once pointed out that as you get older, the years seem to go by faster, as the fraction of one year to your entire life grows smaller and smaller, thus making time “speed up” and making a linear time sequence inconsistent.

And finally...


10. When those Sunday night feels hit you, and you dread getting up for work on Monday. Where does the weekend go? #sorelatable

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.
