You live in Louisville? I Wasn't Sure.
gotolouisville

Louisville is a bustling city. From the weekly concerts on Fourth street to the crazy things you see sitting on Bardstown road for 10 minutes. If you live in Louisville, I'm sure everyone knows, because the things that happen here are definitely picture worthy. Here are 6 occasions that you have to attend if you live in Louisville.


1. Thunder over Louisville. This attracts more than just locals, this is a huge event that people travel to see -- and is well worth it despite the insane traffic you endure after. A 10 minute drive can easily turn into and hour and a half. Who doesn't love fireworks though, really?

2. Oaks. Held the Friday before the Derby each year. It's where the fillies run. However, this event is really just an excuse for college students to dress up and take pictures in the infield because we're all too poor to get tickets anywhere else.

3. Derby. The Kentucky derby. This is a thing known outside of Louisville, outside of Kentucky. Honestly, famous people come and where big hats and watch "the greatest two minutes in sports." Which is pretty cool. Everybody likes watching horses.

4. Forecastle and Louder than Life. Two HUGE music festivals that you should attend at least once. Also, completely picture worthy.

5. Ironman. While a really cool event, also really inconvenient. Another one of those, don't drive anywhere because you'll never be able to get back home kind of things. If you compete in this race, cheers to you! I got tired just watching you all run at 11 at night while I couldn't get back to my apartment because all. the. roads. are. closed.

6. Festivals. The amount of festivals in Louisville are amazing. There's something for everyone, from the St. James Art festival, Louisville Brewfest, to the Waterfront Independence festival. The options are limitless and if your instagram and snapchat aren't making you look like you live your best life after these, I'm not sure what you're doing.

Here's to cool memories and an even cooler social media presence because Louisville has really got it all.

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.
