9 Stages Of Unpacking

You just tripped over the suitcase in your room for the thousandth time, since it is just sitting there waiting to be unpacked from the trip you took three weeks ago. Naturally, you push it to the side where it is less of a safety hazard and tell yourself, for the thousandth time, that you will deal with it later.

Don't feel bad, we've all been there.

1. Leave Your Luggage By The Door

You already had to carry it in from the car, you seriously can't be expected to bring it all the way to your room too. It will definitely stay there overnight because you probably have some Netflix to catch up on.


2. Finally Bring It To Your Room

But it's time for a snack break after that strenuous exercise of climbing the stairs while awkwardly handling luggage.


3. Open Your Suitcase(s)

Stare at the contents of each bag and ask yourself how the heck you managed to fit everything in there.


4. Find A Reason To Put It Off

"Hmmm I wonder how much gas is left in my car...."


5. Come Back To See That It's All Still There

Unfortunately, your fairy godmother mom did not come in clutch this time.


6. Remove Items On An As-Needed Basis

You're an efficient person, obviously, so your only option is to live out of your suitcase until everything has been used...right?


7. Put Away The Easy Stuff

Sure, I can relocate my shoes from my suitcase to the floor. No problem.


8. Ask For Help

There will be snacks provided, you in?


9. Get The Job Done

Another week has passed and you've really only moved certain items from the suitcase to the laundry bin. It's time for the hard part, but you can do it.


I know it's basically the worst but once you finally finish, you will feel so accomplished. At least I think you would. I can't tell you that for sure because I still haven't done 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.
