There's just something so satisfying knowing that anything I want can be mine with just the click of a button.

OK, I'll admit it. I'm an online shopping addict. There's just something so satisfying knowing that anything I want can be mine with just the click of a button. If you're an online shopping addict just like me, here are a few things that you know all too well.

1. Your mailman has become one of your new best buds

You see them often enough that you're practically on a first name basis and not just because your name is on the package.

2. Trying to figure out what size to order can be the ultimate struggle

3. You’ve definitely received a package that you don’t remember ordering

5. You know just how satisfying it is to rip open a new package

Giphy

It's like Christmas or your birthday almost every day of the week.

6. You’ve probably had to delete apps from your favorite store off of your phone

Giphy

... just so you wouldn't keep buying things. We both know there's no such thing as "just looking."

7. You don’t remember subscribing to more than half of the store email lists that you are signed up for

8. You’ve definitely added extra items to your cart just for that free shipping

Of course, it was a smart decision to buy that shirt in all five colors. You really needed that unicorn paperweight anyways. In the end, it was totally worth it for the free shipping.

9. Once your paycheck is deposited, it’s pretty much gone within the next few days

Giphy

10. There’s nothing quite as stressful as debating whether or not you should buy that item that’s been sitting in your cart

Giphy

What if they run out of my size? But what if it goes on sale? What if they all sell out? But what if it goes on sale?

11. Speaking of sales, you hands down know the start date and the finish date of all your favorite stores' online sales

12. You’re more likely to be caught flipping between Amazon, Urban Outfitters, and Forever 21 than you are through your social media

13. How many of those Instagram shop ads are you guilty of clicking on?

Giphy

Let's be real.

14. Forget Black Friday

We all know Cyber Monday is where it's at.

15. You definitely bought way more than you’ll ever need for someone who sits at home and shops online

Giphy

16. Whoever you live with is probably concerned about your shopping addiction

Giphy

Whether it's your parents, roommate, significant other, your spending habits have probably come up in conversation at least once.

17. One thing is for sure though, we could be addicted to much worse

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.
