I was born a millennial. I am a 90's baby. However, I have an old soul. I am an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

I am the type of person that would much rather talk on the phone than text. As much as I love my phone I hate having to be tied to it. Sorry that I didn’t respond to your text, I set my phone down for one minute. Not to mention I like to have peoples’ attention. I hate it when I am talking to someone and they are too busy looking at their phone. I mean I have definitely done it before and I hate myself for it. I love keeping up with my correspondence via the actual post office. There is just something so fun about write and receiving actual letters. It is a dying art form but I am keeping it alive.

While all my friends are partying it up late at night or pulling all-nighters to study, I am over in here in bed by 9 p.m. I am all about getting good sleep and won’t compromise many things for it. My friends know that I am a peace out early kind of girl because I get really cranky if I don’t sleep.

I feel like the crabby old lady that lives down the street that yells at the kids to get off her lawn and stop messing with her rose bushes. Literally, why are people so intrusive and annoying? Get off my property and leave me alone. I don’t want to socialize with you, I want to sleep. Thanks.

I am a little bit against the “athleisure” movement. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love my yoga pants just as much as the next person, but there is a time and a place and I think as a generation we are pushing that limit a little bit. There is no shame in owning and wearing a pantsuit.

I clean like it is going out of style. I like to keep things clean, the kitchen, the dishes out of the sink, I sweep and vacuum regularly, organize and clean my room, do laundry on the regularly, not to mention make sure things are put away and organized all across the house. My roommates keep the bathrooms clean but I do a lot of tidying up of the main rooms.

I also tend to craft like an older lady. Make cards, paint, knit, I am basically someone’s grandma, someone’s creepy grandma that makes tacky handmade gifts. I am all about that. I have a hard time buying things sometimes because I feel like I can make it myself for cheaper. I feel dumb spending money on things I could make myself.

I am a millennial and I like being that way. I am a mover and shaker. However, I am also an 80-year-old woman trapped in a millennial’s body.

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.

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.
