I don't know what it is about elementary school, but seeing someone have something that you don't sends you into an immediate frenzy. Nothing says peer pressure like feeling as if nothing is right in the world until you rush to Walmart after school and get this thing that everyone else has and you don't. Here are a few of the things that you made your parents spend a ridiculous amount of money on (sorry).

1. Silly Bandz

The shapes and colors were ENDLESS. A rainbow unicorn? I'll trade you two dolphins and the letter A.

2. Tech Decks

I don't really know why these made us feel edgy, but watch me flip one over my desk.

3. Zhu Zhu Pets

I bet you any money that these were eventually banned from your school, but they were still adorable nonetheless.

4. Webkinz

The more you had, the more you were considered an elite on the playground. I used to put my sibling's pets on my account just so I could feel like I had more.

5. ..these things

Nobody knew what they were called and only like one person in the entire class knew how to get them started.

6. Heely's

Walking through the mall with your parents wasn't cool. Let me roll to Aeropostale in peace.

7. Gel Bracelets

We all know that one girl in class that every single color up her arm. You know what that meant...

8. Razor Scooters

And if you were really extra, you could decorate them yourself with those glitter gel markers.

9. Coolmath4kids

I mean, we all know what we really went on to play because everything else was blocked.

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.
