This year was definitely one that taught me several things and has been a ride!

For starters, I graduated from high school! That was one of the best days of my life! Just being able to say that I accomplished a major milestone in my lifetime was incredible. To see everyone you'd grown up with share those memories and special moments together made it even better. Just to see that all of those sleepless nights and mountains of homework went to good use was everything I could ever ask for.

This year I also turned 18! Which means I can finally vote when the time comes, and I am already registered, and that's pretty much it. I am technically an adult which means my childhood ended already but I still consider myself a kid. I am the baby of the family after all.

This year was my first year of college, and let me just tell you that college is a lot of things that high school wasn't. College is three free zone where you get to choose when and where your classes can be, you can bring food to class, play your own music and so much more. Obviously since it is so expensive they always have free events for all the students to attend where you can get free shirts, free food, and other free stuff. On top of that you get to meet so many new people and make new amazing friendships. But it's not so lighthearted and easy. The content, partially, is more challenging and more drastic to your GPA. There's going to be a lot of quizzes, midterm, reviews, finals, and so much more.

This year was also my one year mark at my second job. I've been working at American Eagle for over a year now, and honestly I've loved working with so many bright and young people! It's been the best working there!

This year I went on my first road trip with my close friends. We went to six Flags and Disneyland! I loved every moment of it because we got to bond like never before.

My dad also because a United States citizen this year! He has come so far and he deserves it so much! I am so proud of him and he will always amaze me.

Thank you 2019, it's been a blast! 2020, here I come

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.
