We all have a bucket list, but will we ever actually complete it? I set a time limit on my bucket list so I would be more motivated to complete each task.

1. Have my own place.

I feel like this is a given. By the age of 21, I should be a junior in college. I should have my own house/apartment by this time.

2. Take a roadtrip with my best girl friends

Road trips are so much fun, but girl friends could make it SO much better.

3. Have my own puppy

My family has had puppies before, but I've never had the full responsibility of having my own pup.

4. Travel to a place i've never been before

Whether it's a city 30 minutes from me or a whole different state, I just want to explore somewhere outside of my hometown.

5. Take a risk

Swimming with sharks? Sky diving? Cliff jumping? I'm not sure which I'll tackle, but I definitely want to try at least one of these activites.

6. Travel out of the country

I've been all over the united state, and I loved it! However, I want to be able to explore another country and its culture.

7. Start a collection

Of what? I don't know yet, but I think It'd be so cool to find something that I'm really passionate about and to collect whatever that is.

8. Overcome a fear

I have fears of public speaking, the ocean, and the dark. Maybe one of these days, I can face my fear and conquer it.

9. Run (or attempt to) a marathon

I am SO out of shape; however, I want to attempt a marthon just to see how far I could make it.

10. Learn how to cook a real meal

So far, the only food I can is grilled cheeses. They're really good grilled cheeses, but I can't live off them forever.

11. See a musical 

I love musicals, but I've never seen a live one.

12. Go to a music festival

Hangout Fest, VooDoo, Coachella, or even one that I've never heard of. A music festival would be such a fun experience with amazing memories.

13. Have an exercise routine

I always tell myself that I want to excercise more; however, it never really happens. I want to be able to put in place a daily workout routine to keep me healthy.

14. Camp in an actual tent

I've camped in a camper before, but I really want to go old school and camp with just a tent and sleeping bags. I may even do it in my own backyard.

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.
