So I got my nose pierced about 6 weeks ago, and it has been a challenge. I have been put through some things that I wish I knew was going to happen, but even after all the crazy things I experienced with my new piercing, I absolutely love it. I even want more! Please note that my experience may not be the same experience that you go through, so keep that in mind. Also, please don't forget to tip your piercer!

1. The pain you feel may vary

Everyone's pain tolerance is different. Personally, the actual piercing did not hurt. It felt like a lot of pressure. About maybe 10 minutes after I got it done, it started to hurt. So I suggest to take a few ibuprofen.

2. Your piercing may get ripped out

So with it being in such an exposed area, there's a higher chance of it getting ripped out. I got mine ripped out and it hurt so bad. This can also put you at a higher risk for infection. As soon as your piercing gets ripped out, please go to a nearby tattoo parlor to put it in for you so your piercing doesn't grow up. So please be careful!

3. CLEAN YOUR PIERCING RELIGIOUSLY

SERIOUSLY. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. You nose carries a lot of bacteria, so there is a higher chance of infections. I still clean my nose at least twice a day. I will continue to clean it forever and ever amen.

4. Sneezing is weird now

The first time I sneezed with my new piercing in, a few things went through my head. 1) "OMG what if my piercing falls out!!!" and 2)"What if snot gets stuck in my piercing?!" But come to realize, your piercing will not fall out if you sneeze. However, if you blow your nose, you have to be careful with the piercing so you don't accidentally pull it out.

5. You may want more piercings

Getting piercings can become addicting, and I want more! I want two more nose piercings and maybe some more piercings in the future.

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.
