Things That Keep Me Goin'

You guessed right, my cats are one

There are certain places, people, animals and other nouns that keep a person going every day. Sometimes it's knowing that you work for the weekend, and you're okay with that. Some people work for their kids and loved ones. Other people work for the five cats that they love unconditionally and are seemingly named after their favorite book characters. Other people just love to be busy and make themselves so. Well, I have a few reasons that I get going every day, and there are a few things that make my life easier to manage.

1. Completing my capstone course

I am taking my English capstone course, which is a fancy way of saying I'm doing my thesis and senior portfolio. Once I finish this up, the rest of my college degree will be a cakewalk. It will be the end of my undergraduate career and opening up a whole new world for me to enter, become instantly overwhelmed and then seek guidance in.

2. My cats

While my cats are not named after my favorite book characters, I do what I do for them in a way too. If I stopped doing my daily activities, they would probably die. Brutal but simple. Cats need love and affection just as much as the next person, sometimes more so, and I am definitely willing to give it to them. They don't talk as much as people.

3. Asana

Asana what? Asana who? Very recently, I was introduced to a project managing website/app combo that helps you organize tasks. You can create a project and put tasks inside, and even collaborate with other people on the same project and assign things individually. It sends emails and notifications on your phone to remind you when you have a due date sneaking up that you forgot about.

4. My loved ones

I better put this one on here I suppose. I do love em' all.

5. I like going about my day

While more often than not I would rather be doing something else other than my current activity, I like my days. They are interesting and lively. There is something new to experiecne every day you walk outside your door.

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.
