List Of 10 Things I'll Never Do Again

I am very familiar with learning how some of my choices aren't the best, the hard way.

I tend to be very unlucky and manage to make not the best decisions. Below is a list of things I've personally done and if you have the common sense that I lack sometimes, you won't make the same mistakes that I've made.

1. Drive my car to another state while it has issues

On fourth of July this past year, I decided last minute to drive to California to meet up with my friend, Courtney. I knew my front bumper dragged a bit due to me always running on top on curbs, but little did I know that it was more severe than expected. Being the dumb teenager I was, I decided to push my cars limits and drive it all the way to California with my bumper dragging. Whoops, sorry mom.

2. Spend multiple hours at an outside bar in only a swim suit

Since I am Spaniard, people tend to think that I tan very easily. As Donal Trump would say, "Wrong." I tend to forget actually how easy I burn. I went to an outside bar and spent countless hours there. When I came back to my hotel room, My chest had been burned to the pattern of my swim suit. Some would call that art, but I called it miserable.

3. Drink a whole bottle of moscato during girls night

Girls nights are literally the best nights. They happen very often in my life and one time I clearly didn't realize that I downed a whole bottle of pink moscato. Last thing I remembered was making top ramen. Rest is a blur. Fruity drink, yes. Good idea, NO.

4. Make a Tinder

Tinder became very popular, very quickly. I made one as a joke and that's all it was. I hated the aspect of judging someone based off of looks and talking to each other through social media. Connections are never formed that way.

5. Run through campus wearing Uggs while it's snowing

During the first snow fall here in Denver, I didn't know what to expect. I wore Ugg boots are hoped for the best. I didn't think it would snow THAT hard. All my friends were in the North building and asked me to meet them there. Luckily, I was all the way across campus. Seriously. I started walking backwards because the snow was hitting me hard in the face. When I realized that idea wasn't the smartest, I turned around and started running. I ended up slipping a falling to my knees. How embarrassing.

6. Cry after a spray tan

During my pageant days, I would get spray tans multiple times throughout the month. One time I was being over dramatic (the usual) over something I can't even remember, and started crying. Once I was through with my dramatic episode, I looked in the mirror and realized my spray tan had streaks running from my cheek to my chest. Honestly not my best look.

7. Use vodka instead of beer in beer pong

On my birthday this year, I managed to keep my composure all day while celebrating. Right before my friends and I left for Beta Nightclub, we decided to play a nice, friendly game of beer pong. When we noticed that we ran out of beer, Grey Goose was our only option....lol. I'm not finishing this paragraph because we all know exactly what happened...

8. Work retail

I worked retail for about two and a half weeks. That's it. While working retail, I realized how boring it was and how I hated standing on my feet with nothing to do. There really isn't much more to it. Also, I was forced to dress up everyday and look nice which is something I also dislike. I prefer a uniform, or scrubs.

9. Store my crickets in a cage with holes big enough for them to crawl out

I have to buy large amounts of crickets at once to feed my Bearded Dragon, Spike. Typically I'll purchase around 65 at a time. I have two separate cages to hold them in since one isn't big enough. Long story short, I had to tape up little random wholes that were bigger than average. My roommate and I slowly started finding crickets around the house before I taped the holes. It was funny and not so funny at the same time. No one likes getting ready to take a nice relaxing shower, and then finding a cricket crawling in the tub.

10. Order Postmates while tired

If you don't know what Postmates is, it's a food delivery app that delivers food from pretty much wherever you want. Delivery fees are usually double ( or more) than your order. I pick and choose wisely when I use the app specifically for that reason. I ordered it after a long morning and ended up fall asleep. I lost out on $25 bucks and never received the burger I was craving.

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.
