Living By The Rules of Leroy Jethro Gibbs

"Everyone needs a code they can live by."

Rule #3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check.

Sometimes it's not always the best thing to believe everything you hear... Always check the facts.

Rule #5: You don't waste good.

If you're good at something, no matter what it is -- whether it be singing or exercising or dancing or academics or a sport -- do it. Don't waste your God-given talent.

Rule #8: Never take anything for granted.

This one, to me, is the most important. You never know when something is going to end or when you could lose someone, so always say "I love you," be kind, and look at what's around you and be grateful. It could be worse.

Rule #15: Always work as a team

In any relationship, this one is important. It won't work if you don't work together through everything. Also, it's important in group projects in school. Don't be that guy to expect you don't have to do anything just because it's a "group" project.

Rule #18: It's better to ask forgiveness than ask permission.

It's better to do something you think is right and apologize for it later than asking to do it and being shot down.

Rule #23: Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.

This one is important for any avid coffee drinkers, not just Marines. Don't mess with their coffee.

Rule #28: If you need help, ask!

It's such a simple rule, yet it's so so hard for people. Personally, I'm stubborn and won't ask for help unless I'm absolutely sure I am out of options, which is bad because sometimes it puts me in a bad spot. If you need help, even if you're stubborn like me, ask for it.

Rule #39: There is no such thing as coincidence.

Everything happens for a reason.

Rule #42: Don't ever accept an apology from someone that just sucker-punched you.

To me, this rule is mainly for relationships. If someone has screwed you over badly multiple times, don't accept their apology just because you think MAYBE this time things will be different. You'll hurt yourself more than the other person will if you do.

Rule #45: Clean up your messes.

In the kitchen and in life.

Rule #51: Sometimes you're wrong.

This one is hard for everyone, which is totally understandable because who in their right mind ever wants to admit they're wrong, especially if it's something you're passionate about? Sometimes, unfortunately, you're wrong, but that's okay because you're not alone -- there's like 7 billion of us. Welcome to the club.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
