There is no such thing as too many books to be honest.

12 Things Only Bookworms Understand

You were probably that kid growing up with your noise stuck in a book. If you weren't or if you were, your noise is stuck in a book now as an adult.

1. Pulling an all-nighter to finish a book.

Giphy

You just have to know how it ends or maybe you got stuck in the endless 'just one more chapter' phenomenon.

2. Having more books than will fit on your bookshelf.

Giphy

Honestly, you just need a new bookshelf.

3. Buying more books

Giphy

Even if you have a bunch of books you haven't read yet.

4. Having a list of books to you want to read.

Giphy

It just grows and grows and you can't keep up with it but you wouldn't want it any other way.

5. The joy of going to the bookstore.

Giphy

And spending hours there.

6. Meeting an author you like.

Giphy

And end up glad you spent so many hours in line and (maybe) drove far to get there.

7. The joy of starting a new book.

Giphy

And falling in love with it almost immediately. Plus who needs reality.

8. The pain of waiting for the next book in a series to come out.

Giphy

Especially if the previous book ended on a cliffhanger.

9. A beloved book turning into a movie.

Giphy

And it's really well done! (Although that is rare... sadly)

10. Discussing a beloved book with someone who also loves it.

Giphy

Especially if it's not a well known book.

11. Lending out a book to someone.

Giphy

And having them text you like "OMG THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!" and freaking out together.

12. The joy of just getting to sit down and read.

Giphy

Because not much is better.

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.
