And away we go...

1. Shit, I have to fart.

We’ve all been in this situation before. Is it silent but deadly or loud and proud?

2. Is it morally incorrect to wish that, that baby was a mute?

Everyone thinks it, don't deny it! You board a plane hoping there isn't a screaming baby, although usually there is. The screeching sound of a baby's cry and having your ears feel like they're bleeding is the last thing you want on a three-hour plane ride.

3. Holy tits, how much longer!

Plane rides have the tendency to be like classes. You look at the clock every five seconds, only to see it has been 10:35 for the last ten minutes. In conclusion, you feel like drying paint could be faster than this airplane ride.

4. I’m hungry, but these snack boxes are as much as my rent.

Starvation. Happens for two reasons, you haven’t eaten in a few days OR you happen to be on an airplane. Something about planes, usually boredom, but your stomach feels like it could eat itself. As you flip through the pages of the snacks you wonder if some olives and feta cheese are worth the 20$ in your bank account you quickly regret the thought. Anyhow, don’t worry they give out complimentary peanuts. Hopefully, you get lucky and get a pack with more than four and a half nuts.

5. Am I just really fat or are these seats meant for two-year-olds?

Don’t worry people! You have not gained ten pounds in the last week. If your knees are hitting the seat in front of you, it’s because, for some reason, airplane manufacturers like to make you practice your patience.

6. What is that smell!?

You're already awkwardly crowded by strangers, an awful smell like an old sandwich or body odor would make the whole situation twenty times worse. And then you start to wonder ... is that smell me?

7. Am I the worst human in the world if I put my chair back?

Putting your chair back on an airplane is like eating a slice of German chocolate cake when you're on a diet. You shouldn't do it, but you just can't resist.

8. That guy is the sexiest man I have ever seen.

Seriously! Everyone knows on an airplane we wear comfy sweats and our hair up. Possibly not even wearing a bra if we're feeling lucky. The one time we see a hot boy and it has to be when we look like a homeless person.

9. I love it when two years olds are in first class and not me, fun.

The walk of shame, airplane style: walking past people younger than you in first class.

10. Please Lord ... do not let this plane go down.

This is what happens when you hit turbulence and your stomach starts to drop.

1. The little voice in your head starts screaming, "HOLY SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS WE ARE GOING DOWN, WE ARE GOING DOWN! SAY YOUR GOODBYES!"

2. You start thinking of all the things you should have done with your life. For example, flirting with that boy at the supermarket or visiting that one random country no one has ever heard of.

3. Lastly, you say some bogus prayer, "I promise I will go to every class for the rest of the school year if this plane does not go down." We all know that's not true.

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.
