The Downside Of New York City

New York City is a great place to visit...once every year

Going to New York City can be fun. I mean who doesn't like walking around and seeing the large skyscrapers towering over him or her. It is one of the greatest feelings...for a time being. New York City can be a fun hang out place for one day but here is why New York City can become very annoying:

1. Packed subways: Especially during rush hour. No one wants to smell the terrible odor of another person, and standing next to people on a hot train is not fun, trust me. You can get hit in the face with someones armpit, you might not have something to grab on and everyone falls on top of you if the train comes to an abrupt stop. Not only that but there is a good chance you might miss your stop because everyone wants to get in and out of the train and you're stuck in between.

2. The Crowd Of Time Square: If you ever walked into Time Square, have fun looking for a way out in less than a minute because once you're in you are never getting out. It is like a never ending maze over there. There is always a large crowd at all times of day and if you are traveling in pairs, you better hold hands because you will lose each other.

3. The Smell: Who says that New Jersey is the armpit of America? Because last time I checked, its neighbor is having trouble keeping the bathroom smelling great. The amount of garbage that sits around the city is ridiculous, making the city smell like garbage. New York is a beautiful city, but with all the garbage being thrown onto the ground, it is hard to see that.

4. Traffic: Never a time in the day where there isn't traffic. Traffic is not something everyone wants to deal with on a daily basis, but try dealing with it on an hourly basis? Welcome to New York City.

5. Tourist: The one place many tourist want to see when visiting the United States of America, is New York. It is one of the most popular tourist spots in the country. During the summer is when a lot of tourists visit the city and all you see are cameras and selfie sticks..."Say Cheese!"

New York city is a fun place to go to with friends and family; you can see a play or take a walk to a great cafe. But visiting New York City on a daily basis or even living there can be a hassle. But then again, the city are for people who genuinelylove the rush. As far as I know, I can't deal with all of that mess over there. I'll just stay in my cozy house up in New Jersey where the noise pollution is low.

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.
