We all hear or read about people saying they're the mom or the dad friend, but why do we never hear about the grandparent friend? You know, the friend who strangely reminds you of your grandma or grandpa.

If one of your friends don't automatically pop into your mind while you read this, then congrats, you're probably the friend of the group. Here are some signs that will show if you're the grandparent friend.

1. 8 p.m. became the new 3 a.m.

Nothing makes me happier than getting a full night of sleep.

2. You'd rather sleep on a Saturday night, than go out with your friends

3. You can't stay up to date with the newest lingo

How the hell do you guys come up with this crap?!

4. Can't keep up with all the dances that are coming out

5. You find it hard to understand what people are saying in their music these days

Okay, but can anyone actually understand them?

6. You complain that the music sucks and insist that someone changes the station

7. Always complaining that something hurts

All grandparent friends need life alert.

8. Or just always complaining

9. You often refer back to your days, even though you're one of the youngest in the group

It seems like my childhood was so long ago.

10. Operating technology is like rocket science to you

11. You have a favorite spot to sit and watch your favorite show

And you probably get pissed off when you see someone else sit in your spot.

12. Things have to get repeated to you five times before you just give up on trying to hear

Just smile, nod, and pretend like you heard them.

13. Tell jokes worst than dad jokes

Where else do you think your father or mother got their sense of humor from?

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.

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.
