8 Tips for National FFA Convention
blogspot.com

It's almost that time of year again. Thousands of students from across the country are going to be flooding Louisville, KY for the National FFA Convention in a mere two weeks. If you've never been, or if this is your third time going, here's some tips for how to make the most out of your National Convention experience.

1. Take a Photo by FFA Way

This year, we are back in Indy, so that means the return of FFA Way. The sight of blue jackets flooding this busy Indianapolis street is quite the sight. Make sure to walk by and take a photo with some great friends.

2. Listen to all the Motivational Speakers

National Convention can bring in some world-renowned speakers. Make sure to attend sessions where one is presenting. You never know which one could stick with you, and honestly change your life.

3. Go to the Career Fair

The career fair is a great opportunity to meet with colleges that you may want to go to, discover more opportunities in the agriculture industry, and get a ton of free stuff. I know I discovered my dream job at the career fair just three years ago. Make sure to bring a big bag for free goodies, too!

4. Go to the FFA Mall

Just down from the career fair is the FFA Mall. Make sure to stop by to buy up some Christmas gifts, get yourself a new FFA hoodie, and shop for just about anything a country kid could want. The FFA store will be there in person, so if you saw something online but you weren't positive how it would fit, stop by.

5. Adventure Town

Indianapolis has some amazing tourist attractions like the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Make sure to venture out from the convention center and see the sights!

6. Go to the Concerts

Cole Swindell and Chris Young will be there. That's enough said.

7. Wear Proper Official Dress

You don't want to be that guy who wears jeans with his jacket. Just don't be that guy.

8. Have a Blast

No matter what, be sure to have a great time filled with memories, new experiences, and a great trip!

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.
