We, as Fishers natives, are so privileged because we get to call our home "the best place to live in 2017," according to Money Magazine. If you grew up in Fishers, Indiana with the current generation, then you can relate to many of the following.

1. Buffalo Wild Wings and Steak and Shake were the hangout spots after sporting events. It sounded like a great idea, but it took an eternity for food...every...time.

2. You've walked around Hamilton Town Center to pass the time.

3. Formally known as Klipsch, you know the spot in the lawn where the teenagers from Fishers hang out.

4. Fridays were dedicated to the football games. There was nothing better than cheering on your friends under the lights. They were probably some of your favorite memories.

5, You bled royal blue or tiger red. And yes, the rivalry was real.

6. You've been to Geist's firework display. If you've not seen the fireworks, then you've been boating on Geist.

7. You believe Handel's is worth waiting in line for.

8.You constantly wonder why it took this long for a Portillos. Like yes, finally. Fishers needed cake shakes.

9. You went on your senior year spring break with your friends. It's usually a tradition for the high school students to go somewhere warm like Florida and Mexico or even the Dominican Republic.

10. If you went to Fishers High School, you put the headband with your graduation year hanging from the rearview mirror in your car. If you went to Hamilton Southeastern, you wore the gold crowns.

11. In junior high, you socialized in the grassy area by the concession stand during football games.

12. You went to Big Apple Bagels with friends in the morning before school meetings and finals.

13. You went to the Headless Horseman as a kid at Connor Prairie for Halloween, and you took your car through the Reynolds Lights during Christmas.

14. You've been to Flat Fork Creek Park. Whether you're hiking, dog walking, or hammocking, this was the perfect spot.

15. "Downtown" Fishers was once the Nickel Plate (home of the best chicken fingers) and a few other restaurants. The parking garages didn't exist, and there was once not a need for them.

16. You enjoyed the Fishers Freedom Festival or even got to participate in the parade.

17. Sahm's Restaurant was at the corner of Allisonville Road and 116th street. Back in the good ole days, CVS hadn't taken that spot.

There are so many other places and events that we remember about our hometown. Fishers has industrialized so much over our time. Although the population continues to grow, it still feels like you can't go out without running into someone. We can complain about being bored, about the traffic and about the town, but we are lucky to of grown up in such a prosperous place. Fishers will always be the place of so many memories close to our hearts. No matter where we are now, we can all agree that Fishers is a feeling of home.

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.
