I've always been partial to car rides. I love riding with the windows down and the music blaring and sightseeing along the way. Needless to say, my love for car rides means I haven't spent much time in planes. After flying for the first time, I had some thoughts and feelings that are likely common for anyone trying to navigate their first flight.

1. Do I have everything with me?

2. I hope my luggage doesn't weigh too much.

3. How much will it cost if it's overweight? *checks online* That is TOO much money.

4. I wonder how many layers of clothes I can wear before people will start judging me.

5. Okay, check in went well, now onto security.

6. What if they find something in my bag?

7. There's nothing in my bag.

8. But what if there is?

9. There shouldn't be anything.

10. Act cool, act cool act cool.

11. Why do I have to take off my shoes for security?

12. This is gross. I hate walking around in my socks.

13. Do my feet smell?

14. Can everyone else smell my feet?

15. Okay, metal detector time.

16. Don't beep. Don't beep. Don't beep.

17. Phew, that was easy.

18. Where's my stuff?

19. Found it.

20. Shoes back on.

21. Oh, my god, there are people behind me I'm holding up a line.

22. Don't fall trying to put your shoes on it's okay.

23. Okay, that was more stressful than it needed to be.

24. Now, where's my gate?

25. Gate?

26. Wait, shopping!

27. Of course, I need to buy a magazine before my flight, what else will I read on the plane?

28. And I need gummy worms. Just in case.

29. Five dollars for water? I'd rather dehydrate.

30. Just kidding I'm going to buy it anyways.

31. Wait, is that my flight boarding?

32. Yes, it is.

33. Where's my gate?

34. Okay, do I have everything?

35. Ticket? Passport? Wallet?

36. I found my gate!

37. Now I just need to board.

38. Why do we board so soon?

39. Is that really how small my seat is?

40. There is no space in this overhead compartment.

41. Who am I sitting next to?

42. Okay, they seem normal.

43. Hopefully.

44. This seat is not comfortable.

45. *Baby cries* Oh, no.

46. Okay, ready for take off.

47. How often do those oxygen things actually come down though?

48. But what if this plane crashes?

49. Planes taking off feel like rollercoasters.

50. Okay, but why is this plane so loud?

51. Maybe if I play some music I can get some sleep.

52. How does this seat go back?

53. Oh god I have no idea.

54. Maybe I can sleep sitting upright.

55. *Tries sleeping* Or maybe not.

56. I've never realized how important legroom is until I now.

57. These seats are not comfortable.

58. Okay, just try sleeping again.

59. *Baby cries* Maybe not.

60. How much longer until we land?

61. Oh, wait, we're landing so soon?

62. Time to refasten my seat belt!

63. Darn, now I have to pee.

64. It's fine I can wait.

65. This decent is really making my ears pop.

66. Ouch, you call that a landing?

67. Taking off is better than landing.

68. Okay, now I can stand. Where's my luggage?

69. Why can no one make their way toward the exit? Let's move people!

70. Okay, leaving the plane now.

71. That wasn't too bad.

72. I'd still rather not do it again.

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.
