23 Things I Just Don't Understand

People are confusing.

There are so many things that people do and that I do not and will not ever understand.

1. People that do not like Christmas

Christmas is seriously the greatest holiday. I. Do. Not. Understand.

2. People that do not like music

I just do not understand how hating music is possible.

3. People that do not tip

I am a broke college kid and I still make it a point to tip 20% every single time I eat out. Waiters/waitresses do not make enough and make most of their money from tips. But when you tip, make sure you leave at least 15%.

4. People that litter

Why destroy the environment and the animals that live in it?

5. People that hate animals

How? Animals are the best and provide so much comfort.

6. People that like English class

I just do not understand how people like English. If I know how to speak English, then isn't that enough?

7. People that stay out late partying during the school week

I have early morning classes and like do you just skip the next day? Because I show up and I still do not understand what is happening. Or do you come hungover because that does not sound too fun, either?

8. People that can function on less than 5 hours of sleep

If I get 5 hours of sleep, I am falling asleep in my 8 AM and am out of it for the rest of the day.

9. People that drive slower than the speed limit

Why? If the speed limit is 45, why in the world are you going 35?

10. Slow walkers

If I am shopping, and you are walking super slow in front of me, chances are I am just going to cut you off and you will get pissed at me.

11. Loud talkers

There is no need to scream when we are 5 feet apart. Talk with your inside voice, please and thank you.

12. People that disrespect their elders

They are older than you first of all.

13. People that blame everything on millennials

I'm sorry Sheila that I am a broke college kid. I'm sorry that I'm not out there buying diamonds because my college is three times the price yours was when you went 100 years ago.

14. People that play their music so loud I can hear it when I'm a good 10 feet from them

How are you not deaf? Also, I do not want to listen to your music with you. I want to listen to my own music.

15. People that drive without their headlights on in the fog or rain

Am I going to get hit by you because I can't see you? Probably. Just turn them on. It's not that hard. I promise.

16. People that do not use their turn signal

Again, it isn't that hard. You push it down for left and up for right. Chances are, I will actually slow down and let you over if you signal instead of just cutting me off.

17. People that try to pass you in the lane that ends in less than 100 feet

Just merge behind me. There are already other cars in front of me so you can't even go fast. There is no point in riding the lane out.

18. People that wear heels to school

You do you, honey. But I know, I like to be as comfortable as possible and heels are not comfortable at all. But again, you do you.

19. People that make fun of others at the gym for their weight

They are at the gym working on themselves just like you are. They could be sitting at home not working out.

20. People that do not like Panera

How? It is healthy and they have a lot of options.

21. Uptight people

I am more of a go with the flow type of person and I just do not understand how you could be anything but.

22. People that do not like Mexican food

Tacos are so good. So are chips and queso.

23. People that drink milk

Ew. It just doesn't taste good unless it is in coffee.

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.
