7 Things I Miss About Norwalk CT
Norwalk CT

Even though Massachusetts is only two and a half hours away from my hometown, I still finding myself missing home more than I should. Home is where memories were made and where mom's home cooked meals are made. There are so many things I love and miss about being home, here are a few:

Calf Pasture Beach

It's no Malibu, but here is where late night adventures start, Fourth of July fireworks happen, and where newly Brien McMahon graduates watch the sunrise together for the very last time before starting our new separate journeys.


PRDs

What makes a diner a diner? Is it the sheen of steel and the sizzle of bacon? Or is it a feeling of community and comfort? PRDs is a second home for many. Its where we go after Prom, when the bell rings at 2:15, and when its a hot summers day and all you want is a root beer float.


Brien McMahon vs Norwalk High School


Who doesn't love a good rivalry? *Cough* BMHS is better *Cough*. Once a Senator always a Senator.


Stamford


Being less than 15 minutes away from Stamford is a blessing and a curse. Theres the Stamford mall which is a gift sent from God himself but unfortunately its where all of our paychecks end up being spent as well as the Westport shops.

Bowlmor


Lazor Tag, Bowling, an arcade with Flappy Bird, and a bar with killer food. What else could you possibly need?!


Donut Delight


Better than Dunkins and better than Starbucks (Oh yeah that's right! I said it!). Ever thing from their lemonades to their coffee smoothies. Donut Delight is the perfect pick me up after a stressful day at school which is perfectly placed down the street from my old High School. This is also where I've crashed friends on dates multiple times because I can't get one of my own. #ForeverSingle

"The City"

In Connecticut we refer to NYC as "The City", aka the best city in the world. Being around an hour away from Norwalk, we find ourselves here an awful lot.

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.
