Traits You Have When You're 19 Going On 79

As much as we try to fight it, some of us just have old souls at a very early age. If you’re one of the lucky, easily satisfied few, here are some characteristics about you.

1. You know how to cook.

Not only do you know, but you love it. For nearly any social gathering, you’ll offer to make something just because. More so than just popping things in the microwave or oven, you can read off of recipes and maybe even measure out a few ingredients.

2. You know how to sew.

Nothing too major, but it’s no problem for you to repair a hole or rip in anything.

3. You own an iron.

Because you hate wrinkles and love looking presentable.

4. You have no problem saying no to going out.

When you’ve had a long day of work, class or you just don’t feel like leaving the house at 10 p.m., you have absolutely no problem resting with a good book and cup of tea. You’re pretty shameless about it, really.

5. You love a good movie.

Really and truly, a movie night with good company is an ideal night.

6. You like to sleep.

Not the kind of sleep where you stay up late and sleep until noon sleep, but balanced sleep. You’re in bed by a decent hour and up by a decent hour too, most likely before anyone else on both ends.

7. You keep a schedule.

A little spontaneity never killed anybody, but you have to be reminded of that because you're a creature of habit. You really like knowing what your day looks like so you can prepare for it, and you're not really one to “go with the flow.”

8. You appreciate the little things.

The little things such as a nice breeze, running into someone that you didn't expect to see or some really good music mean more to you than most people.

9. You love things that most people have never heard of.

Speaking of that good music and those books, they’re either from time periods no one pays much attention to or from a really unpopular source. You can talk about your fascination all you want while your friends will smile and nod, but few people will actually know what you’re talking a bout.

10. You’re a traditionalist.

You can go along with significant changes to society, but you have core values that are at the heart of why you are. With this, it’s still the little things: lack of phone usage, boys coming up to your door for a date and spending quality time with people.

11. Your sense of humor isn't the best.

Well, other people don't think it is. You think it’s great that you're amused by a corny joke, street sign or commercial. Honestly, the cheesier the better.

12. You’re good at keeping up with people.

Not only that, but you love it. You really value relationships and know how to put effort into them.

13. You’re smart about money.

You just don't see the value in blowing it off, your money is cherished because you know how it’s earned.

14. You’re technologically impaired.

You know a solid half of what people your age know about how to use anything electronic, and you really don't care to learn unless you have to. God bless your friends, because they’re always explaining things to you, making fun of you minimally.

15. Peer pressure has never applied to you.

Above all else, you’re completely content doing your own thing and you don't feel like you’re missing out on any new trend that you just don’t understand or want to be a part of. You know how to make your life exactly what you want it to be, and you’re unashamedly you.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
