Stop Making Comments About The Fact That I Just Turned 21

If you don't want me making comments about your age then don't make comments about mine.

I just turned 21 in April and I have been asked so many questions on my ID already and I don't understand why people feel the need to ask me these questions.

Yes, it's my ID is real.

Yes, the address on my ID is still my parents' address and yes that is the house that I grew up in so why would I not know what that address is?

Yes, I was born in 1997.

Just because I look young does not mean that you get to ask me questions about my ID.

Just because I just turned 21 does not mean that you get to say things like "oh you're just barely 21." You wouldn't want me to look at your ID and say something about your age to you so do not do it to me just because I am young.

All I want is my bottle of wine and to go home and watch a chick flick after my bad day.

You have no reason to believe that I am not 21. I don't act weird when I am trying to buy my alcohol and my ID is pulled out as soon as I get to the register or bar because I know you are going to ask for it. If it is already out that should be more than enough of an indicator to you that I am clearly of age and that I am not trying to hide my ID from you.

I am not stupid and I don't act suspicious when I am getting my alcohol. Sure you can card me because I know that it is your job to card me. But for the love of god if I hear one more person make a comment about me just barely being 21 or asking me what the address on my ID is I might scream.

If you don't want someone asking you questions or making comments about your age then why would you ask me questions and make comments about my age?

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.
