7 signs you're Californian
burnt ends

Every state has their own habits and quirks. Living in California, we sure have our own habits we live out pretty much every single day.

1) You say "The" before every freeway

When addressing freeways in other states it's common to refer to them without "the," but in California we do things a little differently.

2) The beach is your get away

Obviously, living so close to the beach there is no need to go extremely far to take a break and relax for a while.

3) You could eat In-N-Out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In-N-Out. What else is there to say other than it's the go-to option for any meal for any Californian.

4) A sentence isn't a word without words such as, "like," "dude," "totally" and "even."

Sometimes, it's like common for Californians to use filler words in their sentences.

5) Rain is something that excites you.

Rain doesn't occur very often in Californian, but when it does some Californians might not be able to contain themselves.

6) You can sit through almost any earthquake without a scare.

Tornadoes? Oh my gosh, duck and cover quickly. Hurricanes? Board up the house and find safety and quickly! Earthquakes? Well, no need to scream and shout just take a seat and sit the rumble out.

7) You think California has the closet thing to real Mexican food

California obviously has the best Mexican food and there's really no argument about 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.

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.
