20 Things That I'm Thankful For Of 2016
Hotel-R

With the year 2016 coming to an end, I thought it would be nice to reflect back on this year and make a list of what I am thankful for. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like time flies by ever so quickly without us properly acknowledging what we are thankful for. I want to take a moment and put this all down in words so that I can always come back and reminisce what 2016 meant to me. Here it goes.

I am thankful for...

1. Having the privilge of receiving a first-world education

2. Having amazing friends who are always there for me when I need their support and help

3. Being accepted to my dream school

4. The semester break to spend with my family and friends

5. Having the chance to watch "The Phantom of the Opera," my all-time favorite musical

6. Finally being done with all of my APs (yay no more APs in college!)

7. Having the chance to dance with amazing dancers/choreographers at Northwood High School

8. Having an awesome senior prom at the Nixon library with my high school friends

9. Being able to successfully complete the AP Physics class (my god physics was a pain)

10. Having supportive friends to always go back to in Korea and England

11. Writing for the Odyssey

12. Having the chance to visit my home country, Korea, this year

13. Seeing my brother perform in band for the first time at Northwood High School

14. Having both of my parents, alive and well

15. All the love that I received this year

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.
