1.) When you first make the decision to major in psychology:

2.) Looking at the variety of fascinating psych course titles and major cognates:

4.) When people find out you're going into counseling and immediately assume you'll be their therapist and/or can read minds:

6.) While taking the required non-science-major Bio course:

7.) Getting through the Bio course and somehow getting an A:

8.) When your UNIV professor makes you take the MBTI personality test, and you're the only other one in the room who gets excited about this and/or already knows her type:

9.) When a professor inaccurately explains introversion and extroversion:

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.

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.
