30 Thoughts That Go Through Your Head While Skydiving
Abby Seker

So, you have gone completely insane and decided that you are going to jump out of a plane 10,000 feet in the air. Here are some of the thoughts that might run in your head throughout the experience.

You walk into the facility..

  1. What the hell am I doing here?
  2. How did I get here? Oh yeah, my friend asked me if I wanted to go and I said yes.
  3. Do they show this instructional video to scare people out of doing this?
  4. This old guy with the long beard is really starting to freak me out.
  5. There are a lot of things to initial on this paperwork…
  6. I am currently signing my life away. Ok bye life.
  7. Hey look they have free water - it’s the least they can do since I’m paying so much for this picture and video package
  8. Photo ID.. do they think I’m trying to lie about my age or identity so I can skydive??
  9. Who in their right mind would try to lie about that? Then again who in their right mind would jump out of a plane…
  10. That airplane looks extremely small
  11. How safe is this?
  12. LOL the instructor doesn’t want to go with me because I’m wearing braids
  13. They are going to whip the hell out of him hahaha
  14. I’m sitting on the floor of a tiny airplane.. woah
  15. Not sure if I can do this
  16. Oh we’re actually going 10,000 feet up in the air now.. ok
  17. This plane seems a little.. okay very unsteady
  18. Wait, we’re only half way up right now?
  19. That's a long way down.. What if my parachute doesn't open?
  20. Stop asking me if I’m nervous, you’re making me more nervous
  21. For real shut up I'm trying to keep myself calm
  22. Seriously what the hell am I doing right now
  23. Do I have to jump or can I come back down with the pilot?
  24. Welp, no going back now
  25. Holy crap I’m about to jump out of this thing?
  26. HOLY SHIT
  27. MY MIND IS COMPLETELY CLEAR AND I CAN’T STOP SMILING
  28. The world is absolutely beautiful
  29. Can we go again? Like right now?
  30. Man, no words can explain this feeling.

You just jumped 10,000 feet out of a flying airplane. There are literally no words to explain the feeling, you really just have to take a leap of faith and experience it yourself. It is so worth it.

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.
