My first time experience on a Greyhound bus

Its a Thursday morning when I wake up at 5 am to leave my house at 5:30 am. You may ask yourself where am I going at this point in the morning during my summer vacation. I am on my way to take my first greyhound bus ride of my life at the age of 19. On the ride up to the bus station, looking out at the scenery I cant help but be both excited and nervous for my trip. When we get to the bus station, I check in my bag and get the luggage tag for it. We sit there and wait and wait and wait. We all start to line up as it gets closer to boarding time. Yet they dont board us, 5 minutes before we are suppose to depart the station, mind you still not boarded yet, they tell us that they have to change out the bus because the mirror is about to fall off. Like the bus has been sitting there for a while and you just now need to go get it replaced. So well we wait for that bus to come, the nervousness kicks in because I want to get going on my travels. When we finally board the bus 45 minutes after we were supposed to leave, I sit down in my seat, and connect to the wifi. Trying to get Pandora to work but it doesnt seem to, so I am stuck with my same 25 songs on my phone that I have listened to many times now and believe i listened to them each like 3 or 4 times while on the bus. As we drive I keep checking the map that tells us where we are, wanting to know how close we are. When I finally reach my destination sight, I take a deep breath and realize all my stress before hand was for nothing, I made it.

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.
