A Post-Quarantine Bucket list

The past few years, I have always made a cheesy, try-hard VSCO bucket list of things to do with my friends and family before the year ends. It started in 2018 as junior year, aka hell, was coming to a close and the light at the end of the tunnel was approaching. This bucket list was full of color, as I was ready to throw out ACT prep books and replace them with road trips, baking competitions, and car karaoke. The next bucket list was all the things to be done before my best friends and I split up across the country for college. This list formed the rubric of what turned out to be some of the best memories I've ever made. Lollapalooza, senior spring break in Punta Cana, ear piercings, and ice cream binges.

This next bucket list is a snippet into getting my life back on track after quarantine, and restoring my desire for adventure.

See a psychic

About a year ago, I had my cards read by a psychic at a friend's grad party. In the ten minutes I spent with her, she told me all about how someone in my life was about to become very important to me. Little did I know, that someone would turn into my now boyfriend of almost a year. This session sparked my interest into getting my cards read seriously.

Get tan

This may seem unimportant to many, but as someone who lives in Michigan and was supposed to spend all of spring at school tanning in California, I feel robbed of returning back home to "summer" with a tan meant to make my friends jealous.

Rage Room

Ever have the urge to just break something? This place is for you. After getting fully dressed in protective coverings, you are able to go in a room with some friends and destroy anything, anyhow. This will definetly be needed to get my anger out after being stuck in my room for quarantine.

Go to a field of flowers

I've seen so many videos where people are driving and spot a huge field of the most beautiful flowers where you can walk and take in their beauty and take some amazing pictures along with it.

Watch the sunrise

If quarantine has taught me anything, it's that I am definetly NOT a morning person. However, I live in Michigan, which has some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, which are only made better by the myriad of lakes. Getting up early to watch the sun rise over the lake would be the perfect dose of serotonin needed to boost my appreciation for life, even when it throws you curveballs.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
