Yay! You have almost made it through 3 years of high school and now you are just counting down the days to graduation. I am sure that your parents are counting down the days until you move out for college or whatever life plan that you have for yourself. This is an exciting time because you are now the "Big Dogs" on campus and you feel like you own the school, but you should want to be the seniors that encourage the younger kids to do the right thing and not be bullying them just because you can.

You will have a lot of tough decisions to make during this next year of your life, and some of these decisions could be the biggest ones that you make in your entire life, so make them wisely. Be careful about how you make those decisions and don't let anybody else make them for you because you absolutely know what is best for you. Think about what you really want to do and find the best option for you.

Spend as much time with your family during this next year because you never know where you will end up. Spend time with your friends because you may all end up in different places next year and you don't want to go to college and lose connection with some of the greatest people in your life. Also, be there for the family members or friends who need help.

Do your very best during this next year because no matter how bad your senioritis gets, these grades will still count toward your admission to college. You still need to try and also stay involved, this is your last chance to leave a mark on your school!

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.
