5 Questions To Expect At Thanksgiving
The Kitchen

Thanksgiving; a celebration with close family and friends sharing thanks for each other... AND getting asked the same 198,573,489,57,348 questions over- and over- and OVER. I know I'm not the only one who is dreading the typical questions I will be asked next Thursday. But wait; attitude is everything! So making this a game or having interesting responses will help you stay sane. Lets have some fun with this: here are the five typical questions college age adults will be asked and how you can answer or at least in your head.


1) How's school?

I can guarantee this will be number one. How should one go about answering this?

"Oh schools great. I'm sane 1/3rd of the time, stressed and/or crying 1/3rd and hungry the other 1/3rd.I'm still passing though..hopefully.. oh hey Dad I got straight A's! Aunt Sally how's your car doing after you rer-ended that guy at a stop light?"


2) Are you seeing anyone?

Does tequila count?

"Ha ha ha. Yeah I met this one guy on tinder- I mean in class (don't want to explain tinder to old people) and we went on some dates (if you want to call it that because he didn't buy). Then he friend-zoned me, or I friend-zoned him. Either way it's just good ole' me! But, I'm so independent the last thing I need is for a man to complete me! How's the single life with cats, Aunt Gale? Any tips, suggestions?!"


3) What's tinder?

Oh boy.


"Tinder is just this app that like all young people have. You just kind of have it to have it ya know? You can meet new people, go on some crappy dates (but get free food),and get ghosted on all within a few short weeks! But, uncle Rick, how is "Farmers Only" working for you?"



4) How many more years of school do you have left?

Can this just be the one question I plead the fifth to?

"Well uhhh let's see: not all of my transfer credits met goal areas and I didn't meet specific requirements in time, so I have at least an extra semester. But, I really want to go abroad for a semester so add one more to that. So, the grand total is... Yeah we'll just go with 2- round down! How many more years of work do you have left? 15 more years until social security? Dang, that sucks!"


5) What are your plans after school?

L. O. L

"After I graduate I want to OBVIOUSLY get a job. Or, just lay in bed, sleep, and binge watch Netflix until I turn into mush. Actually, I guess I haven't thought that far... Aunt Elsa how's book club?"

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.
