A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

Questions about freewill have come up in the past few months.

A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

In such a short amount of time, I reflected on so much. I took time out of my days just to reflect on what I had occurred in the past 24 hours. My favorite places to mask out the world with the use of music was either on the steps of Francis hall, on a nice bench, or at a picnic table in Angelica Park. This became my favorite pastime, especially during this semester. Therefore, I have thought that it would be a nice idea to do a series of interpretations throughout the few upcoming weeks.

Part 1: Here is a question for everyone. What does free will mean to you? Remember we do have rules within society. As my professor said in class, however, rules are meant to be broken.

Part 2: With rules already set in place for you, how might you go about testing society's limits and yours? This is where free will comes into play. My definition of the term Freewill is that we live in a society of limitless dreams and endless possibilities.

Part 3: My definition is not supposed to scare you. It states that no dream is too big and anything is possible throughout life. Life is meant to be scary but this should not stop you. I know that you cannot predict what will happen within the next chapter of your life, but that is okay.

Side Note: I drastically changed my academic plan by dropping a major. It is funny how you can make a decision so quickly and change routes. However, I felt that I needed to experience certain curriculum in the past year to understand where my heart was at.

In conclusion, your life can get away from you where you might have to recheck yourself. It can also change direction. Whatever the case might be, acting upon reflection and incorporating the acknowledgment of free will into your life is a must.

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.
