Every girl's nightmare: having last minute pans and not being able to find that pair of shoes you wore last week to that party or that little black dress that makes you look your best. Sometimes life gets the best of us and our rooms, cars, and life becomes a little bit disorganized. I am no stranger to this. Having a very hectic life and always working during the summer, I have a very disorganized room. Since coming home in May from college, I had set aside a few weeks before woking to actually clean my room. it is now august, a few weeks before school starts back up again and my room is in no better shape than it was in May. I still have boxes packed in my basement with items from college that I obviously don't care about enough to have unpacked. Since I have started this process of cleaning several times over the past few months and inevitably over my twenty years on this earth, here are some things that I run into everytime I try to clean.

1. Finding That One Thing From Forever Ago That You Thought You Lost But It Was Just Misplaced Under The Mess

Remember that necklace that you bought on your trip to Florida with the seashell in the shape of a flower that you swore that you'd always wear but took off one night to take a shower and it magically disappeared? There it was buried under your schoolbag.

2. When Did I Get So Many Clothes?

Working in customer service and retail, it's easy to walk home a couple times a week with a shirt or two until you try to go put it in your closet or dresser and find out that you have no room. Better yet, you wear the same four shirts all of the time.

3. When Did I get This?

I ask myself this all of the time. Usually it's a shirt or a book and then I spend an hour trying to think of where I got it and why. Was it that random trip that I made to New Hampshire or the salvation army?

4. How Did I let It Get This Bad?

I usually spend twenty minutes trying to remember when I let my life spin out of control and how my room actually turned out so messy.

5. I Don't Have Enough Hangers.

Going back to the too many clothes question.

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.
