Five ThingsTo Do Before You Die

We all have a bucket list, or have at least heard of them. Maybe you have been writing your own since you were little or maybe you have just started recently or maybe you haven't started one at all. The point is, you should start and you should have a bucket list. Type it, draw it, write it, make a poem of it. The things on this list are events. places, people that you want meet and visit in your life before you die. Some people complete their bucket lists with their friends and family, while others go at it alone. Take some time to think about the top five things on your bucket list.

1. Travel to new places.

Everyone dreams of traveling the world and that may not be possible for everyone. Pick a few places that you have dreamed of going to and go! Make these the best trips of your life and try new things while you are going around to new places. One idea is to throw a dart at a map and go whenever that dark takes you. This could give you a new perception on life and for things you have never seen before.

2. Spend holidays being happy.

Christmas, Easter, New Years, Halloween, any holiday of the year... The most important thing about them is to be happy. Be with good people and be in good places. Everyone hears about watching the ball drop in Times Square, most of us watch it on television, but everyone should try to experience being there in person once in their life.

3. Get married to the one you love.

Having the perfect wedding, a beautiful dress, delicious food and a great guest list can be every bride's dream. Having the person you love standing next to you making each day better than the last is what really makes that day perfect. Having your friends and family around you both on that special day is what matters. Being in love is a special thing, everyone should experience it at some point in their life. They say when you know you know, so don't rush things.

4. Start a family.

After getting married every couple has the discussion of kids. Kids play a huge role in starting a family and creating something bigger than yourselves. Raising kids and seeing how your family develops can be an amazing feeling. Your family are the people who will love you and cherish you for your whole life. They will be proud of you in your high moments and even in your lowest ones too. Family can be everything if you let it be.

5. Go on adventures.

Take the risks you may have never taken before, take chances that can change your life, and meet new people that can make you a better person. Do something crazy, out of your comfort zone, or an acitivity that you have always had a passion for. Adventures can be big or small as long as you are enjoying life and making the best of every day you have.

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.
