7 Things I Will Do In 2017

As we begin a new year, I find myself thinking more and more about the year to come. 2017 will be a year of firsts and lasts for me, as I leave high school and embark on the journey of a lifetime to college. During 2017, I will:

1. Turn 18

Eighteen is the age of legal adulthood. Along with buying lottery tickets, signing paperwork for myself, and getting into anywhere 18 and older, it signifies the end of my childhood and the beginning of an era of making my own decisions.

2. Graduate from High School

Twelve years of early mornings and late nights will finally cumulate in receiving my diploma and leaving high school forever.

3. Start College

During the Fall of 2017, I will embark on the newest adventure in my life: college. I will have the opportunity to learn what I am interested in and live with classmates my age.

4. Move Across the Country from my Family

Along with college comes the daunting task of moving from the city I know and love to a completely new state. Not only will I be hours away from my family but I will also be in a different time-zone and completely new culture.

5. Experience my First College Classes

I will be in my first large lecture and my first writing class. I will have to learn how to study on my own and what to expect on exams.

6. Make New Friends

When I graduate high school, I will have to say goodbye to most of my friends from home and make new friends in college. For the first time, I will become friends with people from severely different states and backgrounds than me.

7. Have an Amazing Year

2017 will be my best year yet. It will be the end of one chapter of my life and the beginning of a new one. I cannot wait to experience everything this year has to offer.

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.
