1. The lust for cool workout clothes.

Nike, Adidas, Lulu Lemon and Under Armour have all my money. Also, Khloe K's fitness closet is goals.



2. Feeling secretly guilty about loving the high you get from taking pre-workout supplements.

It feels so good but the Internet says it's so bad.


3. Dreading the time when your tolerance for it has gone so high that you have to phase off for a while.

T minus three days until I can take pre-workout again.


4. Feeling possessive of your favorite machines.

How many sets are you going to do, man? Give me my machine back.


5. Giving anyone who takes your spot on the mats evil side-eye.

Go find your own spot.


6. Working out as a solution to everything.

Stressed? Go to the gym. Sleepy? Go to the gym. Bored? Go to the gym.


7. That feeling of utter despair when you realize the gym is closed AFTER you've already taken your pre-workout.

What do I do?! WHY CAN'T GYMS BE OPEN 24 HOURS?!


8. Gawking at the fitness gods that go to your gym.

How are you lifting that much? How are your muscles so defined? TEACH ME.


9. When you have to go for more than a few days without access to a gym...

Like a smoker deprived of nicotine, depriving you of exercise makes you sluggish, irritable and prone to unwise decisions.


10. Being grumpy for your whole workout because that one machine is broken.

Ugh, now I'll have to plan a whole new work out!


11. The euphoria-like zen that you get into when in the middle of your workout.

All your worries melt away and it's you, your heartbeat and your muscles.


12. Feeling so much more confident after workouts!

Yassss bi*tches, I'm on top of the world!


13. Waking up the day after a particularly grueling workout and not being able to move without wincing.

I'll just lie in bed until it doesn't hurt to move.


14. The struggle of going up and down stairs after leg day.

Also choosing to bend over 90 degrees to pick something up instead of squatting.


15. The struggle of laughing or sneezingafter abs day.

"Hahahahahaha OW!"


16. Looking in the mirror one day to realize that you've made progress.

Whoa... I have muscles.

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.
