5 Reasons Why Being Younger Is Better

"Don't grow up too fast", is what every adult says. Once your adult there is no turning back. You have to enjoy being a child for as long as you can because growing up is not always fun. Being an adult means more responsibility and time to make choices that will affect your future. Becoming an adult is not all bad but sometimes you just really miss being a kid.

1. You didn't have any responsibilities.

When you were younger the only responsibility you had was taking care of your pet. Being adult means responsibilities. Some responsibilities adults have to do are pay bills, do chores, work, and etc. When you are younger your parents have to pay the bills and work while you just enjoy being a kid.

2. You didn't have to worry about school.

When you were younger school was so much easier. Your classes didn't depend on your career. Your whole degree didn't depend on passing one class. School was fun when you were younger because of all the activities and projects you got to do. When your older your classes mainly consist of tests and presentations.

3. You didn't have to worry about the future.

When you were younger you had the whole world at your fingertips. You could be whoever you wanted and not worry about job security. The future is bright for you and you don't have to worry about picking a career to do for the rest of your life.

4. You didn't have to work.

When you were younger your only jobs were putting the garbage cans away, cleaning your room, walking your dog, or etc. Being an adult means working because you can't pay bills without money. "Once you start working, you can never stop", is a say I heard growing up. This say is very true because once you start having bills you need to work to pay them.

5. You didn't have to worry about your appearance.

When you were younger you didn't really care about your clothes and how you looked. You just needed to wear something you could get dirty and play in. Once you become an adult sweatpants and t-shirts can't be your daily outfit. You have to look presentable for certain jobs. When you were a kid your clothes were the least of your worries which is how it should be all the time.

Being an adult can have many advantages but even with those advantages, life was just easier younger. When you were younger you had the whole world at your fingertips with so many paths to choose from. The decisions you had to make younger were less serious than the ones you have to make as an adult. All in all, don't grow up too fast because you miss out on the small things. Cherish being young because you won't be young forever.

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.
