Goooooooooood Morning Michigan State! IT'S GAME DAY

"Oh! He has trouble with the snap! And the ball is free! It's picked up by Michigan State's Jalen Watts-Jackson and he scooores! On the last play of the gaaaaame!" That's the exact energy that will be in the Spartan Stadium this weekend in honor of the rivalry between the top two schools in the state of Michigan. Everyone will be watching this game, well everyone except for me, of course.

I'm kidding, of course I will be at the game. But my soul will not. I already know that I will try to be bundled up in my long, warm North Face Parka baring the cold weather while the University of Michigan loses to the best school in the nation, once again. This game weekend will be the biggest game weekend in the 2018 Football season, everyone I know is coming up for the game. This game weekend, especially, will be the biggest for me because this time last year I was watching the game from my house and this time I will actually be in the place where it all goes down.

Spartan Stadium. Home of the Michigan State University Football team. With players like Darrell Stewart Jr, Mike Panasiuk, and Matt Coghlin. We can't lose to U of M. I know the past couple of games we could have played better but it's okay, we can't let past defeats ruin the future and what lies ahead. Which includes beating Michigan and crushing their ego.

With game day, comes game day tailgates. And our tailgate this weekend will be the best I've ever experienced, well minus the CMU tailagate which had like 5 fraternities and sororities there from both schools. This weekend will be sort of the same but I'm super excited because the frat that it's at is within walking distance for me and I don't have to spend money on getting an Uber which seems to be my only purchase these days. I don't even buy food anymore, I just bring everything from home. And even though my parents are paying for my food either way, I'd still love to be able to purchase my own food and not have to drag everything I bought into my house the day I come back to school after a relaxing weekend at home. But don't get me wrong, I love that my mom is nice enough to buy me everything that I want/need, it's just more adult to go out and buy everything I want for myself with my friends. Especially because sometimes I forget what I need and my grocery list happens to be at home in East Lansing and not with me, 70 miles away in Rochester.

Back on the top of tailgates, I genuinely cannot wait for this weekend's tailgate because I wil be sporting my newest purchase of green and white overalls that everyone and their mothers have. I have wanted these since the minute I saw them and this weekend is my time to take the leap and go for it. Especially since my friends always tell me, things don't happen unless you make them happen. I mean they me that when to comes talking to boys, which is something I lack but I can take that same advice and apply it to this situation can't I?

Happy Game Day Michigan State.

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.
