These are some pieces of advice I've gotten before I leave my teenage years behind and some are things that I've had to learn all on my own. There were times when I had to think back to these wise words and analyze the situation I was in again before I finally felt at peace. I hope that someone besides myself can benefit from having these words to look back on.


1. Becoming an adult is a scary thing

2. But that comes with life, so you gotta handle it the best you can

3. You lose friends that you considered to be as close as family

4. You can lose family members without them dying

5. Some change is good

6. You can lose someone you love dearly in the blink of an eye

7. Math is just something that you have to endure even if it's the worst subject on earth

8. You can only give so many second chances before it's not worth it anymore

9. Being a little kid is awesome

10. But you won't realize that until it's too late

11. People drift apart

12. Naps are important when you're a college student

13. The people who really care about you will stay in your life because they want to

14. Cars can be fixed, sometimes people can't

15. Guys can be clueless

16. But some can also be your best friends

17. My family will always be there to pick me up when I fall

18. My best friends are truly amazing individuals

19. I'm capable of doing or being whatever I want in life if I really work for 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.

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.
