First, a round of applause to all the females out there, being this fabulous is not that easy. These are some of the things we struggle with:

1. Shaving:

Shaving during summer, shaving for dates, or missing a spot while shaving are the worst. But, I guess it's worth the extra 10 minutes.

2. Putting on Makeup:

What we expect to look like when we finish our makeup. In reality, this would probably take us hours to look like Kylie. Taking time to find the perfect makeup look for yourself takes practice.

and if you mess up:

Time to start all over

3. That time of the month:

This is The. Worst. Time. Ever. Why couldn't we just get a note saying "congrats on not being pregnant, talk to you next month."

4. Cramps:

The cramps that come along with that time of the month could kill a boy, but we put up with every 30 days like a boss.

5. Feminine Products are expensive:

Pads, tampons, pink razors are all taxed because they're considered "luxuries." Because using a tampon or pad is a luxury we actually want to do it, but men shaving their face is a necessity that doesn't need to be taxed. Don't forget this stuff runs about $10 per package, that sh*t adds up.

6. Wearing Heels:

Wearing heels can make a woman feel gorgeous, but we run the risk of breaking an ankle. If we have to wear them for long hours, forget about walking tomorrow. And don't forget about the street dangers, not everyone can be Rhianna:

7. Trying to pick an outfit:

You closet full of clothes, but actually have nothing to wear. Usually going back to the same 5 outfits and just change up the days you wear them while trying not to look homeless. This is a daily struggle.

8. Dealing with your hair:

Long hair is one of the biggest struggles. If you wear it in a ponytail too much, you may go bald; wear it down, it goes everywhere. Not to mention how many hours we've wasted styling it.

9. Then we have to deal hair styling tools as hot as an oven:

Seriously, these things heat up to 400 degrees and could burn a house down.

10. Having to wear spandex or shorts under dresses:

Spandex is a must because sitting ladylike is not one of my specialties. It also prevents embarrassing mishaps with dresses.

11. Having to rearrange your boobs at a bad time:

When your boobs are constantly falling out of your bra and you need to fix it, but you're in a public place. It's not considered "ladylike" to realign the twins.

12. Bras:

Bras are the spawn of satan. They are tight, uncomfortable, make you sweaty, never stay in place. But, this just makes you even more appreciative of taking it off at the end of the day.

13. Being Fabulous:

Being fabulous is a daily struggle that women have to deal with, but we all doing it like a boss.

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.
