So you're heading home for the weekend and if you're like me you have a long drive ahead of you. What a better way to pass the drive by quickly than with an epic playlist. Well with the help of my good friend Miranda we did just that.

1. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

This song is a staple. Its fun and something you can jam to.

2. Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran

This song gives me all the feels. It takes me back to my childhood and gets me super excited to be back in my hometown.

3. Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts

I think the title explains itself. It's a good jam for the open highway.

4. Shake it Off by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is just the person one must listen to while driving. It's upbeat and a good song to dance to behind the steering wheel. But please don't take your hands off the wheel.

5. All Star by Smash Mouth

Shrek. That's the only thing that comes to my head when I hear this song. It's so catchy and you can sing along. Perfect for the car.

6. Brown Eyed Girl by Jimmy Buffett

Who doesn't know this song? This one makes for one epic sing along

7. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

For those moments when you need encouragement to make it through that last stretch of the drive.

8. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

This one's a classic. Proceed to sing along.

9. Homecoming by Kanye West

It kind of fits for a road trip home.

10. Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

Another song everyone knows that's just fun to sing.

11. Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne

What is it about 90's music that makes for a good sing a long.

12. All the Small Things by blink-182

I think this one explains itself.

13. Blank Space by Taylor Swift

You had to know another T-Swift song would make an appearance.

14. Rolling in the Deep by Adele

Adele songs are such sing a longs and that is what a road trip needs.

15. Closing Time by Semisonic

This song is just a great song.

16. You're Welcome by Dwayne Johnson

Because who doesn't love Moana and Dwayne THE ROCK Johnson.

17. With a Little Help From my Friends by the Beatles

This song is perfect because you get through a road trip with the help of music, life's best friend.

18. The Climb by Miley Cyrus

Everyone channels their inner Mariah Carey when they sing this song, let's be real, and a road trip needs some of that.

19. Stressed Out by Twenty-One Pilots

Let's be real, every one is stressed. This song is an anthem.

20. Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver

For me this is the perfect song to put on when I'm getting close to home. It makes me thankful to be back home and with my family.

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.
