I do not directly live in the city, but I do live to visit it and go sight-seeing or window-shopping. I usually go out to so I can see and meet different kinds of people. I like walking to places and seeing new attractions. These attractions can be anything as exciting as a new campaign advertisement for a huge blowout sale at one of my favorite clothing stores. I am used to living with constant noise and rushing to places. However, I had to change my usual way of living for a couple of days. Visiting family members in a different state that is known for its calm environment filled with wildlife and trees sounds nice at first, but once you get there and there’s barely anything to do but watch TV and eat peanut-butter sandwiches, your head starts to hurt. Your head hurting is one of the first stages to losing your mind. The next stage, which I would like to call: The Frozen Stage, involves me staying completely still on the couch for hours and not making any major movements. The third stage, which is also the final stage, involves me completely enjoying everything, including the view and my family, and feeling totally relaxed. Here are some reasons you should take a short break in a quiet and secluded area with a huge wildlife scenery, if you are a typical city person:

1) The scenery is beautiful.

If you play close attention to the scenery, you start to notice the different shapes that the stars make at night and the perfectly-formed trees that surround the houses.

2) The quiet is relaxing.

For a short while, you start to appreciate being able to her yourself. You start to gain your own sense of self again.

3) Your family is awesome.

You start to appreciate your family when you spend a lot of time with them.

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.
