365 Days In 6 Minutes

My 2017 in seconds.

When I first started this project with 1 Second Everyday, it was a creative outlet for myself. The app has changed since I first downloaded it in 2015, and my life has changed too. I was in my second semester of freshman year, excited with my whole college career ahead of me. Now, I'll be starting the second semester of my senior year and I couldn't be more terrified.

But I'm excited.

That first 6 minute video from 2015 was full of Snapchat pictures and videos, an imperfect look at me trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. 2016 felt more grown up, and watching it now I can feel the shift that happened. Who knows what will happen this year (besides me graduating...). I can't wait.

You can find my previous videos for 2015 here, and for 2016 here. I hope you enjoy all of them, or none of them. I hope you find inspiration, or share it with someone you think would appreciate this project. Whether it's for a 2 month backpacking trip through Eastern Europe, or a conglomerate of videos from summer camp, I hope you can find passion in the smallest of seconds.

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.
