Dear 2016 Me...

What I would tell myself if I could go back to the start of this year

Dear 2016 Me...
bostern

If I could go back to the start of 2016 and give myself some advice, this is what I would say:

1. This election year will be all sorts of crazy. Pray for our country and then hope for the best.

2. Don't worry that you're out of shows to watch, Netflix's got you covered. They have some good stuff coming out in 2016, you just wait!

3. Don't be alarmed when people start taking videos of frozen people in the middle of the street. It's apparently going to be some sort of challenge video.

4. All these funny dances will come out that start to become a trend. Let loose and have fun with it. Hey, you might even end up on Ellen for it.

5. Hold onto your Adam Levine crush because he's still the only reason people watch the voice.

6. Relive your childhood in a new movie thats going to come out. You will be in a children's movie theatre full of adults. Just a reminder to never let go of your young spirit.

7. Life is short. Make sure you remind those you love how valuable they are to you. Live each day to the fullest because terrorism and racism is going to be a big problem in 2016.

8. A gorilla will become the face of the internet. Don't be alarmed. It will pass over eventually. Nah, it won't.

9. Watch where your driving because 40-year-old men will be roaming the streets running after virtual pokemon.

10. Look in the mirror and tell yourself your face is fine the way it is. Because the internet will try to convince you that your lips should look like a Kardashian's.

11. STAY AWAY FROM CLOWNS!

12. Bet your money on the team you don't think will win the world series. Even if that team hasn't won the world series in 108 years. Put every single dollar on it.

Well, 2016 is the year where you will wonder why you should stay living in America. It's the year that the strangest things happen and the worst nightmares became true. So y'all, let's make a deal to make 2017 better.

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.
