Unfortunately third wheeling can come with being single. Third wheeling can be a little awkward and can make you feel so lonely, but sometimes third wheeling is not so bad. If you look at some of the benefits of third wheeling it doesn't become as horrible as you think.

1. You always have people to go to for relationship advice.

Having relationship trouble? Go to your two friends who are in a happy, healthy relationship! They will make sure you know the dos and don'ts of a relationship. Not only does talking to a couple help you with relationship advice, but seeing them in action can help you see the dos and don'ts of your ideal relationship.

2. You have double the friends.

Spending time with one of your friends is always fun, but having more than one friend to hang out with is double the fun. This is especially fun when you are friends with both of the people who are in a relationship. The laughs and smiles are endless when you spend time with them.

3.You become comfortable with being single

Of course, couples are not perfect. They can disagree on things or stress about things in their relationship, which makes you realize that being single is pretty good. You don't have to worry about stressful couple things because you don't have a partner.

4. You start believing in love.

On the other hand, spending time with a couple can make you realize that love does exist. They give you the idea that one day you will find that same feeling for someone. Yeah-- sometimes you want to barf because of how cute they can be, but they remind you that love is real.

5. Your friends are happy.

At the end of the day you may third wheel here or there, but it can be quick to get over when you see how much they love each other. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that my two friends who are dating each other are happy. Their happiness is far more important than how I feel about being the “third wheel”.

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.
