11 Things All Nutley Kids Say When They Leave Nutley
The Odyssey Online

Nutley...the place everyone hates to love. When we're here, all we do is complain. But once we leave, we slowly find ourselves just complaining about how wherever we are - it's not home. And we always say the same things when we're away, too. Here's just a small list of what we always say when we leave Nutley.

1. "...This isn't pizza"

No matter where you go, nothing beats Nutley pizza.

2. "Do you know what I'm craving right now?"

Anything and everything leads to a Diner run...and your order is probably always the same.

3. "I miss not needing Uber..."

When in doubt, everything in Nutley is in walking distance. If you really had to get somewhere without your car, you knew you'd survive.

4. "Do you remember...nevermind."

That's the thing about living in Nutley. Everyone has one thing in common...they're from Nutley. Whenever you need to talk to someone you didn't know well, you could always make a Nutley joke and they'd get it. But once you leave, nobody understands your weird jokes about Al Petracco or your weird memories from elementary school. It kinda sucks.

5. "I swear it happened!"

The things that happen in Nutley cannot be made up. Nutley has had probably the weirdest series of news headlines in just the past few years. It's no wonder why your friends outside of Nutley think it's an entire different world.

6. "So...what's good here?"

In Nutley, you know everything li\ke the back of your hand. The best place to get Italian, pizza, Chinese, bagels, etc...it's not as easy as callng your favorite spot and saying you're ordering 'the usual'.

7. "Nutley is busy...but it's not"

Some days, it feels like Nutley has nothing. It's quiet, and nothings happening. You walk around, you know where everything is, most businesses have been there for years...nothing really changes. Yet, at the same time, there's occassions at all different times of the year. There's a huge event of celebrating being Italian (whether you are or not...you basically are), Christmas festivities, strawberry festival, etc. You love the balance and always talk about the things that make Nutley special.

8. "No really, our snapchat filter says 'The Nut'"

Want to explain Nutley in a nut shell (see what I did there)? Just mention that our snapchat filter says "The Nut". Makes everyone laugh instantly.

9. "I know you wouldn't know... but it SUCKS."

No one understands the struggle of living in Nutley. And even though it's actually not THAT bad, you still love to complain and wish everyone could talk trash with you.

10. "Did I just say... I miss it?"

As much as you complain about the town you probably have been in all your life, you still find yourself missing it. Who would've thought that would happen?

One things for sure, you can take us out of Nutley, but you can't take Nutley out of us.

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.
