Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

We all like to believe we're real life adults, but lets face it, we still rely on our mothers to make our doctors appointments.

Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

It's no secret, adulting is hard, but pretending to be an adult is a breeze! You do it on a daily basis effortlessly. So well, in fact, that some people think you actually have your life together.

Let's see here, so...

You own multiple pairs of workout pants and sports bras

Except they’re all from Victoria’s Secret and you only own them because they’re cute, not because you ever actually work out in them

You carry a planner with you

But everything you write in it is either a party or bottomless mimosas for Sunday brunch

You plan a bunch of productive activities to do throughout the day

And that list quickly turns into lunch, nap, post-lunch snack, pre-dinner snack, nap, dinner, bar

You do the dishes

Only because there are none left in the cabinet and paper plates cost money


You organized your desk space

But have never actually sat at it and done any work

You donate your old clothes to Good Will

Only because Plato’s Closet didn’t take them and you’re too lazy to post them all on resale apps


You come up with unique and surprisingly tasty recipes

Because nothing in your cabinet is really supposed to be combined together but you’re not scared of thinking outside the box if it saves a trip to the grocery store

You hang all of your clothes in the closet instead of throwing them on the floor

Because they can’t be wrinkly when you re-wear them for the 4th time without washing them

You own plants

Even though they’re all succulents that don’t require any attention to stay alive

You buy produce often

but don’t eat it fast enough because fast food somehow always finds its way in

You make it to all of your important appointments on time

hair, nails, brows…priorities.

You’re easy to get in contact with

because your iPhone doesn’t leave your hand

You attend a Yoga class

Once a month so that you can justify all of your "good vibes" decor

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.
