I applaud you.

I know how hard it is. You're the type of person who cannot say no, so you end up taking up a bunch of responsibilities, and so may which, nobody technically asked you to do. You are always tired, and always have a cup of coffee in your hand. I want to applaud everyone who has been through a semester of juggling responsibilities or always have.

In high school, I did not do as much as I could've. Yeah, I took some AP classes and was in a club here and there, but it wasn't that much. Then, I got to college and wanted to participate in every little thing that I could to get involved. That's where I was mistaken.

To the girl who juggles a million responsibilities while taking such challenging courses, I applaud you for not losing your mind (because I sure am).

It's a challenge to keep your GPA high in several college-level, or even graduate-level courses while participating in clubs, and sometimes working too. Sometimes you forget there are necessary things to do like grocery shopping since it seems like you never have the time.

We are the people who walk in the next morning to class, not always looking our best, but trying to do the best we can. Trying to balance everything out is extremely exhausting. Your friends always question why you're always tired or always napping. I don't know; maybe because people like us can never catch a break it seems.

When you do have a break, you're getting other miscellaneous things done on your to-do list that wasn't the top priorities but still important things to cross off your list.

Your life consists of daily routines, and yet, you have a new assignment every day. People like us need life planners to figure out timeliness out and we need to stay prepared.

A typical schedule goes something like this for a busy person with a bunch of responsibilities in college: go to classes, go to a meeting (or more than one), go to work, and come back and study or do some homework. It doesn't sound like a lot but if you have three hours of class, a six-hour shift at work, and two one-hour meetings, your day seems to be filled-up. It's surprising that some people even have time to eat. These are the people who get stressed out or feel guilty if they're doing something that isn't on their to-do list, like watch Netflix or go to a free university event.

So yes, we put it on ourselves sometimes. However, although sometimes we want to pull our hair out from all of the stress all of these responsibilities; it always makes you feel like you're making the most of your time and working hard.

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.

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.
