A Playlist From The iPod Of A Middle Schooler In 2013
https://www.kiss925.com/2017/07/23/fans-celebrate-7-years-one-direction/

During these past few months, with nothing better to do, I have found myself reminiscing on the good old days. Cleaning out my closet and attic full of old photos and toys and charging my old laptop to find at least 30 movies and music videos my little brother and I made. But I think my favorite was diving deep into my iTunes music library to remember what great taste I had in music as a middle-schooler. These songs became the soundtrack to my middle school experience, from listening to Adele while staring out of the window on the bus ride home to accidentally blaring One Direction in my geography class. I compiled a list of 25 songs that I believe define the 2013 middle school experience, so grab your black glasses frames, clip in those hair feathers, slip on your converse, and enjoy this blast from the past.

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.
