Why I Love Living In Connecticut

I really feel like if you ask anyone in Connecticut how they feel about living here nobody is ever overly ecstatic about it. All anyone ever has to say is "It's too cold" or "there's nothing to do". However, my friends, you are so wrong.

Where else can you live that has 4 beautiful seasons? And I mean real seasons.

Fall is almost everyone's favorite part of being here. Seeing the leaves change, going to corn mazes, pumpkin picking, haunted houses, and fairs. Winter gives us the white Christmas' people in other states only dream of. Spring gives us blooming flowers. Summer is hot but that's okay because the beach is an hour or less away anywhere you are.

You can even go to Rhode Island to Watch Hill or just spend the day in Newport. Feeling a day in the city? Boston and New York are 2 hours away depending on where you are. You can have your city days then go home to your white picket fences. There are incredible hiking trails and parks. You can go skiing, snowboarding, tubing, or just build snowmen if you're unathletic like me.

We're known for having great schools and great pizza (I mean really what else could you ask for?). History buff? Connecticut dates back to the beginning of our country so the stories are endless.

Anytime you ask people in Connecticut if they plan on leaving a majority of them will tell you yes.

However, in case you haven't noticed, they never do or they all come back. Maybe they just didn't realize how good we have it here in Connecticut. That's probably why so many celebrities live here too, likely because of its convenience also. There's really something for everyone here. So if you do ever decide to venture away from Connecticut, or near it, remember all it stands for.

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.
