T-Station Comfort Levels

Ranging from 1-10

T-Station Comfort Levels

As a resident of Massachusetts, it is probable that you have or will utilize at least one of the several T-station lines that are running in and out of Boston. This seemingly complex system is a lifesaver for students, commuters, city-goers and anyone looking to go on trip to our beloved city. Through a kind and appreciative heart for the ability to use such transportation, I give you my personal thoughts while on the Red line one busy Wednesday morning.

1. OK, only a few people here. I have a seat. This is good.

2. All of the seats are gone. There are some people standing. I'm still breathing though. It's all good.

3. Slightly annoyed that I'm eye level with this man's crotch. Also, I'm being eyeballed by a man silently smiling to himself in the corner.

4. This woman's elbow is actually in my ribs. She's reading a book. A real book. So I respect her, but we basically share an arm at this point.

5. Ok, so, creepy silent smiler has began making wheezing noises, and I'm not sure what to do here.

6. This is completely packed. This is a fire hazard. How many people actually fit in one city??


7. We're experiencing "technical difficulties" and will be back up and running "momentarily". I suppose stopping now is better than completely breaking down. Though we are in a dark tunnel. This feels eerily similar to that space movie with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. Am I floating?

8. Ok, I've been spotted by a hipster. He's kind of cute but he's taking pictures of the leather straps that the poor "standers" hold onto at their own risk. The Christian Grey of hipsters?

9. I'm sweating. It's 23 degrees yet the body heat in this small box is unbearable. I can't take off my jacket, though, because this woman's arm is my arm now. Telepathy? Are you there?

10. I'm one more stop away and I haven't had my coffee and yet I still smell like someone dumped an XL hot from Dunkin' in my hair with a side of Axe body spray. Why do people still use Axe?

11. If you get off of the train and see no pigeons or strange substances leaking from the ceiling, it's a bonus. Even more so if you get a smile from a cute guy.

We still love you and all of your inhabitants, Boston. Thanks for giving us a wicked awesome way to get to work.

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.
