Thoughts That Occur In My Head While Riding DC Metro

1. I need a car

If I had a car I wouldn't be riding the metro. But unfortunately college has taken all of my money and has left me with only enough money to put on my smart trip card every 2 weeks.

2. Are you really disabled?

Oh did that sound rude? Here let me rephrase it: are you really incapable of standing for a few metro stops? Someone who is REALLY disabled or elderly is standing while you the un-disabled person are sitting comfortably looking down at your phone because you don't want to make eye contact with someone who is staring you down because you took the seat that they are suppose to use because of their disability. Yeah what a jerk you are.

3. Excuse me bag, can I sit there?

Unfortunately I encounter this everyday.There's always some woman or man who thinks that their bag is royalty and needs a seat of their own instead of holding it on their laps and letting another human being sit in that seat. Why people?? Why??

4. You are not the Incredible Hulk, please don't try to open the doors.

Why do men think it's okay to stop the doors from closing by pulling them apart like they are the Incredible Hulk? The doors are closing stop trying to be the hero by letting the other riders in, if they missed the metro, they missed the metro. I don't think he realizes he's preventing the rest of us from getting home.

5. Dear lady with the glasses, I can see you staring at me.

Nothing makes me more uncomfortable if it's not seeing someone use their sunglasses as a way to stare at people and be nosey. Obviously we are making eye contact through your sunglasses,so it's time too look away from now ma'm.

6. Why does it take 3 minutes after people are already in the metro cars to close the door.

I get it, schedule maintenance but do you have to do that at every stop?? Geez at this rate I'm never going to get home!

7. To the jerk who blocks the doorway......

You're not suppose to be there sir. Can't you see we're all struggling to get inside the doors because you decide it's okay to stand by the doors and not move. Don't you hear the driver "please go to the center aisles of the metro cars." Obviously not if you're standing there. Next time I will push and shove you to teach you a lesson.

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.
