2016: My Year In Review

2016: My Year In Review
My photo

January

As a Vermonter, I have always been a fan of winter (to an extent). One Sunday my best friend and I decided to go up to the mountain with her dad while he went skiing. We took advantage of the beautiful scenery, and well did what we enjoy doing the most together: had a photo shoot of course!

February

The month of February can be challenging to many. People are sick of the cold and over the snow. This past year, my friends and I made the most of it by driving to Hampton Beach for a few hours. It was the most beautiful day, sure it was cold, but we made the most of it!

March

In March I went to Pittsboro, NC for alternative Spring Break where we worked with Habitat for Humanity. Myself, along with 21 other Endicott students spent the whole week working on building houses for families in need. This is definitely one of the highlights of my year because I became so close with everyone on our group. ASB made me appreciate the feeling of hard work and doing it for a great cause.

April

I went to my first Red Sox Game! And they won!

May

The end of the school year was bittersweet because not only was it the end of another year, I wouldn't be returning to campus in the fall because of study abroad. This was a year new friends and adventures, and I wasn't expecting to be emotional at the end of the year...but I was.

June

Summertime in Vermont means endless scoops of Ben & Jerry's

July

Took my first mini road trip to visit friends. With the open road ahead, good music and good snacks, it was so much fun to drive solo by myself

August

With a month full of goodbye's, it was hard to leave my three best friends, but they gave me all the courage I needed to spend the next four months abroad.

September


I loved exploring around Copenhagen during the first month because everything was new!

October

My class trip to Ireland was definitely a highlight from the semester. Thankful for these wonderful people for making it amassing (< Dorte voice)

November

I was so fortunate to have my whole family come visit me during Thanksgiving break. We spent the week exploring both Paris and Copenhagen together. I loved showing them around both cities, but Copenhagen especially because it has become my home the last three months.

December

Being home during the holidays after being away for four months is amazing. I have always loved just sitting by the tree, looking at all the ornaments and lights placed perfectly on the branches.

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.

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.
