I Did These 20 Things Instead of Writing My Odyssey Article

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would definitely be Procrastination.

If my middle name wasn't Rachelle, it would certainly be Procrastination. Procrastinating is an art I have come to master and I'm not ashamed of it in the least. While I usually think of my Odyssey articles up well ahead of time, this week my ideas have been slacking. So I thought I would write about the other things I did this week instead of writing my article.

1. I rewrote the draft title of my article fifteen different times.

2. I played laser tag with my cat.

3. On Tuesday night, I went to Applebee's with my friends and ate half-priced apps.

4. I did my homework (woah.)

5. For an hour and a half, I played with my makeup.

6. I took a quiz that calculated my life expectancy. Apparently, I'm living until I'm 89.

7. On Sunday, I watched Black Panther, which is a pretty amazing movie!

8. I absolutely had to do my laundry so that is what I did on Saturday evening.

9. I Instagram stalked three different corgi accounts.

10. I took approximately 13 naps throughout the week.

11. I Googled weird things for an hour.

12. On Friday, I took my choir folder out and practiced my music.

13. I gave myself a pedicure.

14. My Spotify account played a bunch of hits, so I danced around my kitchen.

15. I belted to Taylor Swift at least thirteen times.

16. I found my cute, reusable water bottle buried deep in my backpack.

17. My best friend and I played Jeopardy with Alexa and lost.

18. I thought of five different article ideas before settling for this one.

19. I learned how to make grilled cheese in the oven.

20. I planned my dream home on my Pinterest account.

As you can see, my week has been incredibly busy and productive. I probably should have written my article three days before the due date instead of three hours before, but that's why life is full of lessons! Catch me here again next week with a better planned article!

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.

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.
