Attitudes, situations, and thoughts that you will definitely resonate with if you have a fitbit (or if the fitbit has you).

Anyone that owns a fitbit understands how controlling that little plastic band which hardly ever leaves your wrist can be. The extent to which fitbit addicts go in order to win challenges and achieve their daily goals, while most of the time surpassing that initial goal, can be quite comical. Personally, I dedicated an entire day over spring break to stepping; my first goal being to attain the badge for 50,000 steps in a single day. I ended up taking 65,000 steps because once I hit 50,000 and realized that I still had time left in the day, I couldn't stop myself from reaching the next three badge levels. Here are 13 attitudes, situations, and thoughts that every fitbit addict can relate to.

1. Always taking the stairs.

Why waste a perfect opportunity to increase your total steps while simultaneously adding floors to the day's count by taking the elevator?

2. Challenges can get intense.

Whether you're in a Workweek Hustle with family members, a Daily Showdown with friends, or that random Weekend Warrior initiated by a friend of a friend every single challenge is taken seriously.

3. Achieving your daily goal.

A day is only considered complete once your fitbit has vibrated joyously after meeting your goal. You got there, so you can sit down now.

4. A distinctive wrist tan line is normal.

This strip of white is hardly ever noticed since you only take the fitbit off while in the shower or to charge it. (If you really want to limit the amount of time your wrist is naked, charge the fitbit while you take a shower.)

5. Being obsessed with checking your heart rate even when you are not exercising.

Isn't it intriguing what factors contribute to the changes in your heart rate?

6. Your virtual badge collection is your pride and joy.

Each of those colorful, cleverly captioned badges is a representation of your hard work determination put into fruition.

7. Taking the longest route to get some place just to get extra steps.

8. Forgetting to wear your fitbit for one day will ruin the entire week.

Is there even a point of doing anything if your fitbit isn't on?

9. You have established a walking path in your house that will give you an extra boost of steps if you are in a crunch to add more to your daily total.

We've all walked aimlessly walked in circles around the house or jogged in place while watching television.

10. Realizing how irregular your sleep schedule truly is.

Forever wondering if this exhaustion is due to my poor sleeping pattern or the fact that I hit 40,000 steps yesterday.

11. Opening the app to check on your daily stats more than you check your email.

It is imperative to stay updated on the status of the current fitbit challenge by checking who's at the top of the leader board relentlessly.

12. You thoroughly enjoy taunting your fitbit friends, but if they taunt you in return, the weekly challenge rises to an entirely new level of competitiveness.

13. Getting excited every time a new fitbit design or color comes out.

If I wear two fitbits, will I get double the steps?

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.

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.
