Tomboy or Girly-Girl?

I can be both.

Tomboy or Girly-Girl?

Having two different personalities is a good thing until it comes down to choosing which one I should be, the tomboy or the girly-girl.

Back home, I'm treated like one of the boys. I'm asked to go mudding, go fishing, go sit at a football game, and I enjoy it. A lot. I like wearing jeans, a long sleeve, and a hat out to go pick up food from the grocery store and it be normal. I like wearing my boots out to go help papa feed cows and my crocs are my first go to shoe when in a hurry as well.

But that isn't the case in Norfolk. If I wore my crocs, somebody would ask "what're those?" But where I live, if you didn't have Crocs then it should be on your Christmas list. I wear my boots with my dresses and get asked where I'm from because not many people wear cowboy boots. Lord help if I wear my hair up with a hat on. I'd probably be known as the girl who dresses like a boy. So I keep it elegant with my monogram boots (because in the South if it doesn't walk, it gets monogrammed) so I have a little Southern in me.

It's a lot different when the boys look as you as a dude until it's okay to dress up and then it's like I'm the most gorgeous person who walked this Earth. It's as if WOAH GIRL YOU LOOK GOOD is being screamed at you when they see me looking all nice. Especially in Norfolk. Since most guys are used to me being in sweats and a big t-shirt without even caring. The guys are very surprised when

There's plenty of reasons why I have two different personalities because I love living in the country but I've gotten fond of living in the city as well. Even though I will never truly leave 'home' I am thankful for the differences of being able to dress up and go casual.

Being in Norfolk has taught me many things, but one of those things was learning how to apply makeup. I have never applied makeup before college, so when learning how to apply it, I was completely lost. Nonstop acting some of my sorority sisters for help on how to even put on eyeliner. I have never truly cared to apply makeup, so learning how to apply it was completely different for me. Back home, it's throwing my hair in a bun or braiding it to keep it out of my face so I could go fish or ride four wheelers. The only makeup worn is mud, from it slinging everywhere around the four wheeler.

Things are totally different between the country and the city and I am so thankful that I can rock both looks of being a girly girl and a tomboy at all times! Even though most of the times I would much rather wear cowboy boots than heels.

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.
