Thoughts That You Have On A Long Weekend

The thought of a long weekend before it happens is much different than the thought process that you have as one is happening. The day before a long weekend begins, everyone has lofty plans to go take adventures, try new things, party as much as possible, and make those days off into the best days ever. Then those weekend days happen and it's a totally different story.

First thing's first, you wake up, but it's a long weekend! You don't need to cram in as many fun weekend activities as you normally do. You think, why not, I'll just sleep in a little extra.

Then 12:30 p.m. rolls around and you're still in bed. Well, you're already comfortable, so why get up now? TV is always a good option. You've got some shows that you need to catch up on on Netflix and that's not something that you can normally do during the week, right?

After a while, you realize that you've slept in so long that you haven't done the daily ritual of checking social media. So, with Netflix on in the background, you go through your phone and start looking through everything.

Before you know it, you're on your phone on a Wikipedia page for the Loch Ness Monster (you'll never really know how you get to that article in the first place) and Netflix has come up with the "Continue?" page (aka, the "Are you sure you don't want to live your life and stop being a loser?" page) three or four times. You've been so caught up in the mixture of what's going on in your phone and what's going on in your show that it's now dark out.

Now it's time to eat. You leave your room for the first time. The lights burn your delicate skin. Your back aches from having to stand. It's too dangerous for you to cook, considering how relaxed you are. You also don't want to risk driving to get anything. It's better to just order in.

After searching for at least an hour for the perfect long weekend delivery food, you're stuck waiting another hour or so for your food to actually arrive. What can you really do in an hour? You guess that a couple more episodes wouldn't hurt.

Then your food arrives. You sit. You get ready to eat. Then you realize that eating is sort of boring. It's just using your fork, putting your food in your mouth, chewing, and swallowing. There's not enough drama in that. You'd better squeeze in more show time while you're eating.

By now it's just past dinner time. You think to yourself, "Alright, it's time to go do something." But what should you do? It's too late to go do any sort of outside activity, but it's not quite late enough to go out to party. I don't know a better way to kill a specific window of time than to just keep watching shows.

Eventually, it's about that time when the bars are open and people are heading out to leave. Better yet, you've just finished a full season. What a great place to stop and go start your day, right? You shower and you get dressed, but you can't stop thinking about that cliffhanger ending. Something crazy is going to happen in the next season, something ridiculous. It wouldn't kill you to just watch one more episode to see what happens before heading out. A two hour season opener is completely fine.

Four hours later, you're exhausted. The emotional roller coaster that has been your day of playing on your phone and watching Netflix has left you well-deserving of a good nights' rest. With as late as you're going to bed, you may also sleep well into the afternoon the next day.

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.
