25 Things You Don't Know About Me
  1. I was born in the town referred to West Egg in the novel The Great Gatsby
  2. I’m the only youngest of four; my 3 siblings work as a stewardess, lawyer and graphic designer.
  3. I want my first tattoo ever to be of late R&B singer Aaliyah
  4. My favorite activity to do is swimming. I even took swimming lessons when I was younger.
  5. I make a mean chicken salad.
  6. I own several Apple products (except for the Watch and the Beats).
  7. I’m a preacher’s child (my mom officially became a minister 5-4 years ago).
  8. I started looking up colleges when I was in the sixth grade.
  9. I hate wearing sneakers. I’m a flip-flop/sandals person
  10. Summer and late spring are the only seasons I like and can tolerate. I can’t stand cold or even remotely cold weather.
  11. I’m a big fan of slasher films.
  12. I am a die-hard Spice Girls fan.
  13. In one year I saw Rihanna & Beyonce (for the second time), Fifth Harmony and Gwen Stefani in concert (separately of course).
  14. My hobbies include photography, poetry, magazine reading, writing and online shopping
  15. I check The Shade Room and Perez Hilton every 20 minutes every day for breaking celebrity news.
  16. I convinced the staff at my small high school to create a Honor Roll and Honorable Mention to recognize student and their hard work.
  17. I love listening to podcasts. The Read is my favorite but I also love the NPR ones.
  18. Beyonce will forever have a special place in my heart. Destiny’s Child's The Writing's on the Wall was the very first album I owned at age 3.
  19. I rarely play video games anymore, not even on my phones, because I get addicted to fast and I can’t stand to lose.
  20. My all-time favorite movie is Set It Off
  21. When I was pass away one day, I want “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child played at my funeral.
  22. I run through iced tea like a grown person runs through alcohol.
  23. I love West Indian food because I grew up around a lot of West Indians. Bake and Shark always hits the spot.
  24. I get sad when my best friend(s) leave(s) or vice versa. In the words of Salice Rose “bitch we are not meant to be separated”
  25. I’ve went through a lot of hardships in my 20-year-life that could make for a Mary J. Blige album. To be honest though, one day I’d like to write about it and use my success to inspire others their circumstances are only temporary.

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.

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.
