18 Thoughts We've All Had Dealing With Late People
Hannah Sarnie

Are you a stickler for time? Do you just have chronically late friends and family members? Or both? I've heard from too many people about their friends canceling at the last minute and I get it, we all have things to do. Also, sometimes things come up! We've all been there and so we can empathize and be flexible. But here's what goes through our heads when you play this little game with us on a regular basis.

1. A couple of minutes pass by.

I mean, I'm pretty sure we said 6:30 but it's cool. They're probably on their way.

2. Fifteen minutes pass by

But like... where you at though.

3. A text

Oh, they must be here.

4. You read the text

Oh, but they're not coming. Or are going to be forty-five minutes late.

5. I literally just got ready and I am so put together.

Your outfit is cute. Everything is put together. You're ready to go.

6. My hair smells so good

Literally like strawberries or coconut. Or both.

7. And you couldn't you have told me earlier, why?

I could have made other plans! I don't have all the time in the world.

8. You couldn't have just let me know?

It literally takes five seconds to send a text.

9. Are they not into me?

"Maybe they don't like me. Or they don't care enough to make time for me. Or they're spies."

10. Wait, what are they actually doing though...

"But actually... what if all my friends are having a giant party tonight without me."

11. When you want to let them know how you feel

12. But instead you don't, and send a really understanding, friendly.

"WTF is wrong with you? Why you doooo?"

*deletes text*

"Okay, no worries! I totally understand!"

13. Even though it's the fourth time it has happened.

Dealing with chronically late people like...

14. Am I overreacting?

Things happen, we have to understand that. Sometimes unforeseen things come up and we have to be flexible. It's not the end of the world. But that doesn't mean we can't be annoyed when it happens constantly.

15. Nope.

*Preach*

16. When they send the 'Sorry' text.

Ookay. I guess it's okay.

17. Or when they don't.

Hmmmm... are you forgetting something?

18. When they ask you to come pick them up.

No thanks. Not today. Next time figure out your plans before hand and let me know.

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.
