Thanks, but no thanks.

14 Things I Am Not Thankful For
Wall Paper Cave

1. Flies

Enough said. Flies suck, especially when it's trapped inside your car and you can't manage to kill it.

2. The Sun

You may be good for heating and lighting our planet, but get out of my eyes while i drive. I would love to actually be able to SEE the road sometimes.

3. Netflix

You have ruined my social life. Instead of talking to other humans, I sat in bed for two days binge watching 'Stranger Things' and stuffing my face with ice cream and Goldfish.

4. Daylight Savings Time

You were good for the first night when I got that blessed extra hour of sleep. But now, the sun sets at like 5 p.m., and I now eat dinner at four with the senior citizens. That forces me to find another "dinner" at 7 p.m., when normal people eat.

5. Paying for School

I'm trying to learn and take enough credits to be considered a full-time student, but spend a million dollars a semester in the process.

6. Jimmy Johns

You get here in an insanely fast time and it bothers me. How come YOU can do it but the second I order from somewhere else the wait time is 45 minutes to an hour. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?

7. Football Season

I love it when you're here and when my team wins. But the second football season is over or my team loses once again by ONE FREAKING POINT, you are automatically at the top of my kill list.

8. Thanksgiving Dinner

Because it's the only time it's socially acceptable to eat four types of pie and three pounds of mashed potatoes in one sitting. Therefore, causing me to have the largest food coma there ever was.

9. Delish/Tasty Videos

I can’t cook and you make me think I can.

10. The Holiday’s

I look forward to you every year, and then you show up and my wallet is empty. Why must you make me want to buy my friend’s dog a new chew toy? He doesn’t know who I am, and it’s not like he’s getting me a gift in return.

11. Timehop

Every day is a new look back at how awkward I was just a mere three years ago. Why did I find it necessary to tell all my Facebook friends that I was going to the mall with so and so and we were also going to the movies? They don’t care, and future me doesn’t either.

12. People Who Like Scary Things

For the 100th time, no I will not sit with you and watch demons take over a haunted house and kill everyone inside. No, I will not pay money to get scared out of my mind and not sleep for weeks.

13. Friends Who Go to Different Colleges

Transfer so we can hang out. The End.

14. Writing Odyssey Articles

I try to be relatable and funny and I’ll read them back and realize that I am not funny at all. Like seriously, listen to yourself: you’re not funny.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
