1.Buying the instrument


You want to play the instrument but you don't know what to buy and you’re scared your going to buy the wrong one.

2. Figuring out how to play it

You got the instrument, finally, now time for the music. You either buy music or look it up online.

3. You find out you were playing it wrong

You thought it didn’t sound right so doing more research makes you realize you were right.

4. You turn to Youtube


The hours staring at music that you don’t understand isn’t helping so you turn to youtube for some tutorials, maybe they will help.

5. You realize it was harder then you expected

You sit there watching a person play and realize this is more work then you thought.

6. You debate on giving up

This is more then you thought and maybe it’s not worth your time.

7. You keep practicing

You spent so much money on this instrument that you cant give up after only an hour.

8. You learn to play one note properly


You show everyone, that one note you will always remember. The moment shows you that you can do it.

9. You learn to play a song


You’re kinda slow, cause it take you a few seconds to switch from note to note. But you did it and the best part it kinda sounds right.

10. You can play two songs.


Two are better then one. When you get sick of the one song you can practice the other.

11. You practice and now you have a new skill


You have gone through pain and struggle but if people ask you what you can do you can add playing an instrument to your list of skills. I don’t know who’s going to ask you but have fun.

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.
