10 Things We Still Do That We Did As Kids
http://thestir.cafemom.com

There are some things that we all did as kids that we have very vivid memories of. The memories are so vivid that we still do them, and we don’t even realize it. But some of the things we still do have been upgraded.

1. Losing our mom in the store!

We still freak out when we lose our moms in the store. We get so scared that we forget that we have cells phones now and we can call them in the store. This is something that seems will never stop happening, no matter what age we are.

2. Sleepovers!

We might be adults now, but we still have sleepovers. Usually, they aren’t planned, they are the result of either studying until the wee hours of the morning or because you’re too drunk to drive home…

3. Crushes!

We still have crushes, we probably always will have crushes too. Back then, we used to creep on our crushes on the playground or during lunch time and gossip with our friends about them. Now, we have Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to help us creep!

4. Dressing up!

We still dress up. Don’t lie to yourselves. We get all dolled up and decked out every now then. But now we can actually go out in public… sometimes.

5. Juice Boxes!

Our love of Juice boxes has turned to the love of box wine.

6. Ice Cream Trucks!

Waiting in line to grab a Totally Tubular or a Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar at the ice cream truck has turned into waiting in line to get into the bar to grab a Long Island.

7. Naps!

We use to hate taking naps as kids. We just wanted to keep playing. Now, naps are vital to get through your day, and we get upset if we don’t take one or pass out doing whatever we are doing at that moment.

8. Burning CDs!

Making CDs for our friends. Everyone used to love buying the blank disc and picking all the songs your friends were going to love, then burning them a CD and decorating it with stickers and the names of the songs. Now we just make a playlist on Spotify and share it with our friends. (I kind of miss the CDs). We still get turn up, no matter if it's with a CD, a DJ, or Spotify.

9. Passing Notes!

We all loved passing notes to our crushes or friends during class in middle school. But now we text or slide in the DMS… even if we don't know the person.

10. Mixing drinks!

Mixing drinks at the fountain machine… well, now we mix our pops with alcohol… sorry, mom and dad.

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.
