Good morning, Chicago. I can't wait to freeze today.

Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself
Google

It is the inevitable Monday morning. Scratch that. It is the inevitable weekday morning. I-90 is whispering to you good morning, with it's sweet sound of honking horns and sirens. You know it's less than 30 degrees outside, because well, you live in Chicago and that is that way it goes from November-April. Late March if you're lucky. Soon enough, you have realized your bed is the only thing worth value. Your bed is your best friend, the keeper of warmth and the inhabiter of procrastination.

If this is the case, your morning conversations might go a little something like this-

"5 more minutes, I will close my eyes just five more minutes. I promise." Wakes up 15 minutes later.

"How many days of class have I already missed? I better check all 5 syllabus to see how many classes I can skip before it affects my grade.

"Do I feel a little sick today? Headache, stomach ache? I do feel a little nauseous."

"Is it cold enough for class to be cancelled?" Checks the school's website.

30 minutes till class. "Well I guess it's now or never."

Gets up. "I already want to lay back down."

Puts on leggings, boots, two sweatshirts, scarf and coat (that I wear everyday). "Yup, I look great. I don't need gloves, gloves are a hassle."

"I should eat breakfast. No, it's ok. Coffee will do."

"I will brush my teeth though."

Looks down at phone battery- 35%. "This is going to be a great day."

Walks outside. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I want to pull out my phone and change the song but it's too cold. I should have worn gloves."

"There is no one even on the sidewalks. I bet everyone else stayed home. Oh, never mind. There is a guy up ahead. Is that really all he is wearing? Where is his winter parka? He must be freezing."

"Why do I live in Chicago? I should move."

"I think I will get soup for lunch. Soup sounds good."

Checks nearest Panera location. "Nix soup. Too cold to try to get to Panera. Ramen it is."

"Why did I skip breakfast? I am starving. I am going to go hungry."

"How many hours till I get to lay back in bed? The things I would do to lay in my bed and watch Netflix right now."

"Should I turn around? Will I really miss that much? I could text that one classmate and ask them to send me notes."

Swipes CTA pass. "Well this is it. Guess I am really going to do this. School, here I come."

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.
