1. Chinchilla

Giphy

I can give you the rundown on chinchillas because I have two of them. These little guys are so much fun. They each have their own personality, and are crazy. Most of the time they have to stay in a cage, however, because if they get loose it is really hard to catch them. But as long as you have a good hold of them whenever they are out of the cage, they usually won't try to run away from you. They are pretty low-maintenance pets.

2. Wallaby

Giphy

A wallaby is literally my dream pet. Imagine playing around at the park or on your college campus with a miniature freaking kangaroo. From what I have heard, they act just like dogs most of the time, but require a little bit more care than dogs and cats.

3. Hedgehog

Giphy

I also know a little bit about this pet because my cousin brought his down during Christmas. It wouldn't be my ideal pet, since it isn't that cuddly. It might look the part, but the quills are actually pretty prickly. They also can get annoyed pretty easily, but once they warm up to you they can be fun to play with.

4. Sugar Glider

Giphy

These things are so cool. If you wouldn't have to clean the cages all the time I would try to sneak one on campus with me. They seem to sound a lot like chinchilla care, pretty low maintenance, but they aren't going to just hang out with you like a dog, they'll probably want to run around and glide.

5. Capybara

Giphy

How cool would it be to have your giant hamster greet your guests at the door when they come over for dinner. The big problem with owning a Capybara is that you would have to have two. Apparently they don't do well alone. Also, you would have to have an outdoor enclosure. If you have the space for it though, they would be a freaking awesome pet.

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.
