Practice makes perfect.

14 Things That I've Mastered In 21 Years
Just Wine

I'm a woman of many talents; a jack of all trades, you could say. Over the 21 years that I've been on this Earth, I've spent countless hours perfecting a wide variety of skills. I like to make sure everyone around me knows how gifted I am, so I made a list of all the things that I've mastered so far.

1. Going through the McDonald's drive-thru and eating all of my fries before I get home

One hand on the steering wheel, the other stuffing my face with greasy goodness.

2. Attracting insects

I've never met anyone who gets as many bug bites as I do. If only I could attract men as much as I attract insects...

3. Being dramatic

If you ever need someone to blow a situation completely out of proportion, I'm your girl.

4. Forming an emotional bond with stray cats on the street

If I had the time, money, and adequate living space to care for every single stray cat that I found on the street, I would.

5. Not knowing what to order at a restaurant

"Do you need a few more minutes to choose something from the menu?" No, I need a few more days.

6. Buying things that I don't need and will probably never use

Goodbye money and hello fancy desk organizer.

7. Drinking too much coffee

No, I don't have a boyfriend. I'm in a committed relationship with coffee.

8. Being tired

I'm so good at being mentally and physically exhausted that I do it 24/7.

9. Overthinking

I could just let it go... or I could spend several hours obsessing over every little aspect of it until I get a migraine.

10. Laughing at my own jokes

I don't need a hype man. I have me.

11. Losing my Chapstick

If losing your Chapstick less than 24 hours after buying it was a desirable skill that people paid money to take classes on, I would be rich.

12. Forgetting where I parked my car

The process of looking for my car in the parking lot takes up a solid 15 minutes of my life every single time I go somewhere.

13. Logging onto Facebook to check something really quick, getting distracted by a link on my news feed, and then coming to my senses two hours later having completely forgotten why I originally logged onto Facebook

I swear I was going to do something productive.

14. Researching (stalking) celebrities, cute boys, and beauty gurus on social media

If Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson ever have a falling out, I could take over the role of investigative assistant.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
