We've all told white lies before, right? You know you have, and you've probably said these 12 exact lies, to yourself and to other people.

Yes, I want my copy of the receipt

We say yes, but we don't need it. We KNOW it's going to end up crumpled on the floor of our cars or at the bottom of a bag somewhere.

Oh shoot, I left my homework at home/on the bus/in my locker

media.giphy.com

Yes I did it, but I left it at home. Classic cop-out response to get half credit on homework assignments we didn't do

I have read and understood the terms and conditions

media.giphy.com

HAHAHA no I did not read that 40 page size 3.5 font document, but imma click the box anyway.

*an entire 10 episode season later* ...

I'm on my way

Translation: soon I'll be in the car and THEN I'll be on my way.

Yeah, I floss twice every day

Does anybody ever actually remember to floss twice a day? I definitely don't, but that's not what I tell my hygienist.

That baby is SO adorable!

Let's be real with each other. All babies look the same, first of all, and they also all kind of look like smushed marshmallows.

No, I don't have any other questions

media.giphy.com

This actually means, "I am so lost that I don't even know what I don't know".

I'll do it in the morning

media.giphy.com

No, you won't.

 That looks great on you

It doesn't exactly look bad either though, so we'll go with great

 Thank you so much I love it

Translation: I really have no use for this and it will end up at the bottom of my closet, but thank you anyway!

 My phone died

media.giphy.com

Nope, you just didn't want to leave your house.

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.
