Dear God,

Hey. It's me, ya favorite girl, Hannah. How're you doing today? I'm sure you're doing absolutely wonderful and keeping busy. I've been meaning to ask, how's the weather up there? Everyone down here talks about how good it must be. Down here, though, it's been a constant downfall. Thunderstorms all the time and never-ending rain. Or, on second thought, I think that's just my tears. Oh.

So, about that…

Okay, so for starters, I just want to thank you for everything. You know, it's so awesome that you decided that I be born. It's also really great that you blessed me with a brain that works quite well more than half of the time and implanted within me the desire to go to college. I mean, besides the constant breakdown and terrible sleep schedule, life is perfect. It's great. Wonderful. If it were an Amazon purchase, I would give it a solid 4 stars. It only has once default, and it's totally not your fault. It's just me. I'm not too sure how this life/college things is supposed to work just yet. Just a fault of the user.

…anyway…

I have a few questions. A few pleads.

You know I'm in college. You know that I'm trying. I would turn into the most angelic human being if you could convince all of my professors to at least let me pass this school semester with a B. Hey, I'll even take a solid C. Please God, help me.

I feel like I can't do this anymore.

I feel like I am slowly being ran over by a train, during a firestorm, in the dead middle of winter. I know that didn't make any sense, but that's where my brain is now. It's tired, jittery and between the state of being completely blank and utterly full of scientific words I can't even pronounce.

On another note, do you know how much caffeine is too much? (or is there even a limit?) I mean, my hands shake, and my brain wins first place in a marathon with every sip of coffee, but that's healthy. Right? Do humans really need a good seven hours of sleep? Or did crazy people on the internet make that up? Oh! Now tell me, is it possible to sleep and study and binge watch my favorite shows at the same time?

God, please just help me.

Let my professors take sympathy for me and my coffee slap me awake so study sessions.

Please.

I'm just a college kid wanting to make it.

Amen.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
