Vulture

Coming into your freshman year of college, you don't really know what to expect. Sure you probably have somewhat of an idea from tv shows and movies, or maybe you have an older sibling who's made the journey before you, but you don't really know what you're getting yourself into until you're all moved into your dorm, mom and dad are gone, and it comes time to figure out your first dinner all on your own. You most likely set some expectations and goals for yourself, but come May you will undoubtedly find yourself facing a couple broken promises. Have no fear though- freshman year is all about growth and it's okay to slip a couple times. Curious to see what freshman year might hold for you?

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.

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.
