Which lies do you tell yourself?

I'll wake up early and finish that.

Giphy

Will you? Will you really?

An 8 a.m. won't even be that bad.

Giphy

Maybe not at first, but but midterms, you'll start to feel it.

I'll save more money.

Giphy

Because stress-shopping does not exist. Also, food is inexpensive. The seasonal change to winter also won't compel you to buy new sweaters.

I'll just watch one more episode.

Giphy

There are no binge-worth shows on Netflix at all.

I will eat healthier.

Giphy

Because sometimes the best places to eat are healthy.

My laundry will get done.

Giphy

Yea, I'm free that day.

Giphy

In your dreams, sweetheart.

I'll go to the gym.

Giphy

Do we want to look like we've just stepped out of Vogue? Yes. Are we taking 16 hours, working, and trying to go to extracurricular events? Yes as well.

I'll just study in my room, it'll be fine.

Giphy

The average American adult has the attention span of 8 seconds.

I will never skip class.

Giphy

Remember that 8 a.m. we talked about?

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.

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.
