Ok, but really... I CANNOT live without these things.

With the start of lent on Friday, there are a lot of things I am slowly realizing I will never be able to truly give up...

1. Music

I think I would actually die if I wasn't able to listen to music.

2. Driving

Driving is my therapy. Not having my car actually gives me anxiety.

3. Chocolate

I'm gonna have my time of the month sometime during lent, no way I could give up chocolate then!

4. Makeup

I know that God made me naturally beautiful, yeah yeah yeah... but ya girl needs her makeup.

5. TV

TV is just one of those things you need to decompress... there is no way I could give that up.

6. Social Media

Social media is my life.. and lent is not about giving up your life.

7. Texting

Texting=all my communication ever.

8. Meat

The thought of not having a cheeseburger for over a month makes me too sad.

9. Sarcasm

Sarcasm is all I speak, so do you want me to just not speak for lent or????

10. Sugar

I will actually have a nonsugar crash if I don't have sugar....

11. Cussing

This one is bad... but every once in a while, I really just need to let out some steam with some cuss words.

12. My Phone

My entire life is literally in one box.

13. YouTube

Again, just something that I like to use to help me relax.

14. Pizza

It's just so good...

15. Starbucks

Okay, let's be real... I was named Starbucks queen this year in my sorority, I would NEVER be able to give up Starbucks.

16. Writing

This one is kind of random for most people, but I would die if I was not able to write anymore. On Odyssey, on my personal blog, or in my daily journal. I just love to write and get all of my feelings out.

17. Complaining

This one kind of goes with cussing... it just really releases a lot of built up feelings.

18. Shopping

They call it retail therapy for a reason...

19. Instagram filters.

Ain't nobody got time for a non-aesthetically pleasing Instagram.

20. Takeout

Uber eats anyone? (shout out to Olivia)

21. Naps

Truly the only way I survive day to day.

22. Chick Fil A

Those milkshakes and chicken sandwiches, though.

23. Selfies

It's good to love yourself!

24. Chipotle

Don't even get me started on how I would feel if I had to give up Chipotle...

25. School

I guess this is very popular for this year, but y'all are telling me you just ain't going to school for 40 days?

26. Procrastination

There is no way I would never be able to not procrastinate.

27. Ice Cream

I scream, you scream, we all scream for more ice cream!!!

28. Staying Up Late

All of my finest work is done between the hours of 12 and 5 AM.

29. The Internet

So how did people actually get information before Google?

30. My Computer

Once again, my whole life is on my computer... I would never be able to give it up.

31. Taking Photos

I just love taking photos of everything.

32. Sorority Apparel

It's over half of my entire wardrobe...

33. Snapchat

Overall, I would never want to give up social media... but I love Snapchat. I could never give it up.

34. Singing

Like music, singing is my therapy. I would never be able to give that up.

35. Laziness

I don't see how people can "give this up" but I know there is no way in hell I would be able to.

36. Bread

Like Oprah, I love bread!!!

37. Religion

This one again might seem weird to some people, but I would truly not be able to give up my religion during lent. Which might seem contradictory to some because lent is all about reconnecting in faith, but some people do try to give up religion.

38. That 70's Show

Forever my favorite binging show. I will never be able to give it up man!

39. People

40 days without people? Um please do not sign me up.

40. Gluten

Let's be real, everything that's good has got gluten in 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.

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.
