I spent my weekend in Cincinnati with my friends and had a great time. This is only my second time in this city, the first was during the beginning of our spring break trip this past March. We initially went for my friend's family's fireworks display, and it became so much more. We went to Jungle Jim's, an international grocery store that is AWESOME, boating on the Ohio River through downtown Cincy, ate ice cream at United Dairy Farms, and watched fireworks. Her family owns a campground where her cousins and relatives put on their own fireworks display with homemade bombs, which were extremely loud but enjoyable to watch. So, while we were boating, my friends and I started thinking about why we need to own boats in the future.

1. To relax

Boats are a great place to take a load off and just enjoy the sights around you. Plus, the rocking of the waves has the potential to put you asleep.

2. For parties

Anyone with a boat can throw a party, even if it's just friends getting together. And as long as you're safe, a little party never killed nobody.

3. For fishing

While this would not be a selling point for me, lots of people want boats for fishing trips. Get the guys together and get a fishing trip started.

4. A good place to read

This sounds like a great afternoon: the wind in your hair, a good book in your hands, that's the life right there.

5. A nice tanning bed

If you want a sun-kissed glow to your skin, this is one way to do it. Just take the boat out for a float and get your tan on.

6. A nice wind swept hair-do

If you want an effortless wind-swept look, this is the way to do it. With the water on your face and the wind in your hair, you're going to look like a water goddess.

7. 'Cause they're cool, DUH

What other reason do you need than this? Owning a boat is pretty darn cool, and it's a big purchase that makes the adult life more real.

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.
