One of the best therapies in the world is cruising around town with your windows down, allowing for the perfect amount of sun to kiss your skin while jamming out to music that takes you to a better place. Whether it's back to your childhood or a memory from an experience that really made you feel alive, music has a magical way of lifting us up and taking us to back to fonder times.

While I could spend hours creating an extensive list of my favorite songs from my childhood, it would never be exhaustive. We all have our favorite lyrics that we belt out when our song comes on, and sometimes those songs will resonate with you for years to come.

4. The Middle- Jimmy Eat World (2001)

"And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand..."

6. 3 AM- Matchbox 20 (1996)

"She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, but outside, it's stopped raining..."

7. Jumper- Third Eye Blind (1997)

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend..."

8. Closing Time- Semisonic (1998)

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.

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.
