As an Android user, I find myself running into all sorts of issues. Everyone I know seems to have an iPhone and they all make fun of my old, tiny Android. Even my Galaxy was the butt of everyone's jokes before it broke, but maybe they all had a point. It's hard being an Android in a world of iPhones.

1. Group Chats Never Work Right

For some reason having an android in a group of iPhones always spells trouble for someone and it's only because your phone is in the group.

2. You Can't See All The Emojis

Androids have emojis, and depending on which Android you have, you might have most of them, but you'll never be able to see the newest iPhone emojis and you'll always feel left out. The question marks and empty boxes always leave you hanging.

3. Taking Pictures On iPhones Is Impossible

You feel like you need to take an extra summer course just to pull up the camera on your friend's phone.

4. You Have A Crazy Loyalty To Google

Google Chrome, Google Docs, Google everything! You can't imagine life without your Google account taking care of literally all of your information.

5. No One Ever Wants To Take Pictures With Your Phone

Because even you can't deny that iPhones have better camera quality.

6. Everyone Thinks You Should Just Get An iPhone

Every time you complain about your phone, the first suggestion you get is always to upgrade to an iPhone. (But you're super loyal to your Android)

7. You Can't Get Super Cool Phone Cases

Unless you have the latest Galaxy phone, Amazon is your only option for phone cases and they're as basic as they come.

8. People Make Fun Of Your Phone

Every time you pass off your phone for any reason, someone has something to say about it. "How do you type on this thing?! It's so small?!"

9. You Can't Use Facetime

This is the worst. It's so easy to talk to people face to face, but no one wants to video call on the Facebook messenger, so you always have to go old school with phone calls.

10. You're So Inconvenient

It would be so much easier if people could just Facetime you... or iMessage you... Or send you cool emojis.

11. You Have No Clue How To iPhone

They don't have a back button! How do you go back?!?

12. No One Has Any Faith In Your Phone

People seem to think that just because your camera sucks and you can't see emojis, you can't do anything with your phone, but trust me. My GPS works just fine guys.

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.
