Is he the one or not? Or does it not even matter?

We've all been there: it's turning into the end of the night and the majority of our friends are pairing off with their significant others or the sexy guy/girl they've just met a mere few hours earlier, stumbling out of the bars and into one of their beds.

Sure, it's super cool to have "someone to end the night with" but having this one feeling become a constant one throughout one college career can be both tiring and mind-numbing.

All the while this is all happening, there are loads of feelings and moments happening around you - moments and feelings that you don't even realize because you're just too busy trying to find a husband in your prime time of life.

The "forever moments" that the rest of your friends are experiencing together.

By "forever moments" I don't mean the ones where we're all pregaming together and getting ready to go out on a Friday night together. Those times are for sure one of the best but by "forever" what I mean is this: the moments in which we've given up on doing that paper due in a few days and we snuggle on the couch to watch conspiracy theories or a bunch of rom-coms until we fall asleep. By "forever" I mean ditching the plans to go out until the crack of dawn to go to dinner instead and by "forever" I mean taking one night to push your responsibilities to the side and going out and just saying f*ck it.

The epiphanies you have about your intellect, your career, and anything that remotely has anything to do with any future endeavors.

While you're wondering why King Frat Douche didn't text back and in response, you put up a rather raunchy snap just for King Frat Douche to ignore it, you're missing out on all the time you could've devoted to thinking through what to potentially make of yourself in the near future.

The moments where we wait to celebrate something "significant" when in reality, celebrations of life, in general, should happen more often.

Of course birthdays, anniversaries, and special milestones are a major key to celebrate in the brightest of lights but it's just as important to celebrate the "not-so-significant" moments because those are the times we will come to cherish the most. That one time we decided to make the trek out to the new restaurant we've always wanted to try on the first snow day of the semester. That time we used the air fryer to make fried Oreos because it was the "healthier" option. The one time we made a late night run to Wegmans to stock up on ice cream and chips because we were all stuck in the same "funk" as one another. These are all the tinier moments that will manage to stick by us when the going gets tough and we'll also remember these same moments when things don't seem as clear-cut as we initially thought they would.


The moments, no matter how big or small, are moments that can quickly go right over our heads if we don't stop every now and then to cherish them a little more than we would've if we weren't so preoccupied with finding "The One".

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.

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.
