Reminiscing On The Little Things

Everything happens for a reason.

Reminiscing On The Little Things
Chad Dutson

As I sit in the library and ask myself how I am going to get through this week, I start to doze off and concentrate on the work that everyone else is doing and not myself. I think back to the beginning of this semester, and wonder where exactly has the time gone? I find it hard to believe that a little over four months has come and gone in a blink of an eye. I begin to think of everything that has happened to get me to this exact moment sitting in the library, quietly typing away and avoiding study for yet another exam.

Just sitting here makes me realize all of the moments that have come and gone before this point. So much has happened as I reminisce over the time that has too shortly passed. It's funny to think just how the world works sometimes. This semester started off not as planned with a class that I absolutely hated. Tossing around the idea of switching it or just sticking with it, I finally decided to drop it and take a chance on the statistics class that was thankfully still open. Little did I know that by this decision I made, would I find my absolute favorite professor and a new best friend.

Coming into this semester I thought everything was already set in stone, but of course that wasn't the case. By changing that class, my life kind of changed with it. With one simple move, so much good came to me. I personally believe that everything happens for a reason, and looking back on things currently, this is representing that at its finest.

If I told you that this semester I would join a fraternity, meet Ian Harding, meet my new best friend, and more, would you have believed me? Life is all about the unexpected. It is always a surprise, and when it turns out to be a good one then the more reason to smile.

When life gets busy and crazy, you forget about the times like this that are worth remembering. So much has already happened, but yet there is so much more to come. Little moments like these that can have a big impact. Something for the better, something to look forward to. Thinking about this just reminds me that no matter how hard things get, know that you are there for a reason. There is always better and goodness to come to those who deserve 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.

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.
