From the random minuscule to the tremendous things that I think about doing before I finish college or life, my bucket list is constantly growing.

Just today, I decided that I want to sit on every bench on Fairfield's campus before I graduate, even though that has no reasoning behind it. I think that we have so much time on earth, and even though I might not be able to get to do everything on my list, it’s fun to have and try.

Some items just happen in the moment and others such as going ski-diving might take more planning. I hope that I can accomplish my list and that you can find inspiration for your own list.

1. Visit every continent

2. Go ski-diving

3. Write an autobiography to my future children

4. Find my passion

5. Swim with dolphins

6. Sing karaoke in a public place (even though I can’t sing to save my life)

7. Go to a painting bar

8. Buy a plane ticket to a random location at the airport

9. Join a club that has no correlation to my life

10. Join a book club (I’ll probably do that when I’m older)

11. Do a cartwheel on a major league sports team's court/field

12. Do some type of marathon

13. Go zip-lining in the forest

14. Go scuba-diving

15. Go paragliding

16. Get certified to do something

17. Climb a mountain

18. Go on a real hike

19. Give a stranger a gift

20. Throw someone you care about a surprise party for no reason

21. Volunteer to make a difference

22. Watch the sunrise

23. Leave a random person a note

24. Throw the biggest banger of all time

25. Do a crazy hairstyle

26. Learn how to ballroom dance (even though I don’t think I’ll ever need that skill)

27. Learn how to play another instrument

28. Learn how to box

29. Learn how to cook

30. Start driving with no location in mind and go on a road trip

31. Go cliff jumping

32. Experience an out-of-body experience

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.

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.
