30 Signs Your Emo Phase Is Over
We Heart It

Ah yes, the emo phase -- something that is the inevitible for the majority of us; like going through that awkward tomboy phase. Some of us go through in early middle school; others early high school. I was a "late bloomer" as some may say. I didn't go through mine until Junior year of high school and it didn't end until the middle of Senior year. ..Yikes. These are 30 signs that I was finally over my emo phase; maybe some of you could relate.

1. Your Instagram bio is no longer band lyrics.

2. ..or possibly three or four of your favorite band names followed by heart/music note emojis.

3. Your username no longer consists of several bands combined into one, possibly with the letter "x" on both end (i.e. xpiercethemotionlesssleepingfallingbridesx)

4. You no longe follow 300 band accounts dedicated to posting daily photos of band members.

5. Whenever you hear somebody play the G note, you no longer get teary eyed.

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.
