Thoughts You Have When Hiking

"Are we there yet?"

Thoughts You Have When Hiking
Natalie

This past week I went hiking on Table Rock. It's located in Pickens, South Carolina. The total mileage of hiking up and back down is 6.8. If it was a straight walk it wouldn't be so hard, but I've heard it's the most strenuous in South Carolina. Even though the view at the top was amazing, the whole time I'm thinking "Is this really worth it?". Especially since this was my second time hiking Table Rock, even though the first time I said I was never doing it again. But any way, plenty of thoughts went through my head this time.

Are We Almost There?

You think your kids ask this a lot when riding in the car...think again!

Can We Take A Break?

This happens about every 5 minutes..

How Sore Am I Going To Be Later?

Considering you're already hurting now, in a day or two it'll only be worse.

Is It Time To Eat?

I always have food with me, so of course I packed snacks. Which during that hike, I had like four slim jims, a pack of nuts, a bag of homemade trail mix, a sandwich, and an Oreo chocolate candy bar.

Did I Bring Enough Water?

I packed three water bottles and that was just barely enough for me.

I Thought I was Fit

That hike proved me wrong!

What If There Is A Snake?

Thankfully I never saw one, but my mom (who was a little behind with a few others) did but also thankfully nothing happened.

This Better Be Worth It

In my opinion, the pictures I got were definitely worth it.

I'm Never Doing This Again!

Yet, this was my second time. And I said it both times, which means I'll probably be right back there again.

I Can't Wait Till This Is All Over!

The best part was when I finally got to sleep!

At Least There's Some Cool Things

I saw a turtle that decided to roll down the mountain and huge mushrooms, which when busted open, changed colors in the matter of five seconds.


How Far Down Is It If I Fall?

That was probably my biggest fear...slipping and falling to my death.


I was hurting so much but it was one of the greatest experiences and adventures of my life. So try hiking at least once in your life!

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.
