Adventures With Sarah And Friends: Bus Edition
Sarah Pfile

This past Friday night one of my roommates, Abby, and I decided that we wanted to go to target. We looked up how far it was from our dorm and it said 2 miles. We both looked at each other and said you know what yeah let's walk. So at 8 pm on a Friday night, we started our trek to Target. It took us 45 minutes to get there and we were so tired. It didn't take us long to decide that we were never doing that again. We had to suck it up and figure out the bus system.

The next day we didn't have anything going on so naturally, we decided on thrifting. There's a Goodwill about 4 miles from our dorm and our destination was set. We recruited another one of our roommates, Grace, to come on the adventure. Now none of us have ever ridden public transit before so already the odds were not in our favor. We walked to the bus station and being 3 inexperienced college girls we just got on a random bus confident it would take us where we needed to go. After it started moving, I checked the transit map and it turns out we were going the wrong way because we had read the map wrong. We got off the bus on the opposite side of town at a Walmart to try to get our bearings and figure out where we were.

By this time we had wasted 30 minutes on the wrong bus and didn't know where we were.

I downloaded the bus app and put in our location. We got back to the bus station where we started and had to wait 20 minutes for the right bus. I took us a long time but we finally made it to Goodwill. It was a good trip that made up for the hour and a half it took to get there. It was around dinner time by now and we were getting pretty hangry. All the food places looked really close to us on my phone but when I looked up I realized that they were all on the other side of the highway. Obviously, we couldn't just run across the highway and there were no crosswalks. Getting frustrated, we ended up walking a while until we found one. Finally across the street, we found a Chipotle. It was a great reward for the end of a long day. It took us a while to find a stop and the right bus to take us home but we eventually found it.

Even though that day was very stressful, I'm so happy it happened. It brought all of us closer together and we did what we set out to do. Together, we conquered the bus.

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.

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.
