To The People Who Have It All Figured Out

I envy you because I wish I did too.

I really want to give a shout out to the those people who really have their life together, who know what they want to do for the rest of their lives and are excited to do it. Yes, I do have a job lined up and I kind of know what I want to do when I “grow up” but by no means am I excited for it. I really don’t want to leave college right now, I want to keep learning but at the same time, I kind of feel like I am ready to go.

Once I graduate, I have no clue what I am going to do with my degree. I am going to work a post-grad internship at Disney World, which I am very excited about. But after that, if I am not offered full-time employment, I really have no clue what I am going to do. That terrifies me.

Should I go back to school to get a masters, should I get a teaching certification, should I just work? All the options are on the table, but all of them scare the crap out of me. I do want to go back right away? Should I wait? I really don’t have the answers to these questions.

This is why I envy the kids that have it all figured out. They know what they want, and they go for it. I wish I had that luxury. It could be me as a person, because I am incredibly indecisive. But I feel like there is more than just that. I just wish I had a solid plan that I could follow and execute well.

Another thing I envy about the people that have their lives together is that they are excited to move on from school. I am not, at all. I feel like this is a place where I can still figure out what I want to do and how I am going to do it. Once I graduate I’m out in the real world, and that scares me. I am not good at cooking or cleaning or managing my life for that matter. College really doesn’t teach you to live outside of school rather it only teaches you how to get a job. It acts as a transition phrase and I really appreciate that, but I wish I take a class on how to survive by myself after school. But you can’t have your cake and eat it too, right?

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.
