I don't think anyone can explain why.

There's no way to really describe the feeling of gratification from popping bubble wrap--making sure we get every. last.bubble. No man left behind. Yes, it's weird but c'mon...don't act like you don't love the feeling. Although we encounter these things all the time, it's actually hard to sit down and make a list off the cuff. However, I have done my best to do so for your enjoyment, and I know that you can relate--because these things are just so darn satisfying.

1.  Opening right to the page you needed

2. Having exact change

3. The sound the vacuum makes when it picks dirt up

4. Waking up minutes before your alarm

5. When you pour soda from a can and it fits perfectly into the cup

6. Peeling the plastic off new stuff

7. Waking up and realizing you have 3 more hours to sleep

8. When your new pen writes smoothly on paper

9. Typing with long nails

10. The smell of your clean laundry

11.  Peeling the seal off of a bottle

12. Watching the milk mix into the coffee

13.  When the squigglys from a spiral notebook rip off in one swoop

14. When the shampoo and conditioner run out at the same time

15. Squeezing a new tube of toothpaste

16. The way your legs feel after using a new razor

17. Crawling into a bed full of clean sheets

18. Peeling a command hook off the wall

19. Trying on a pair of jeans and having them fit like a glove

20. When you have just enough milk for your cereal

21. Stopping the microwave a millisecond before it beeps

22. When your nail polish peels off your nail in a whole piece

 

And of course...

23. Popping bubble wrap

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.
