2019 Bucket List

Usually everyone comes up with a couple of New Year's resolutions, but I made a bucket list instead.

Thinking back to the last couple of years, I have wanted to do so many different things. Go to a comedy show. Visit Philly. Explore an abandoned building. Some of the activities I was able to check off but many stayed as plans. So this year I made a bucket list of eight things I can easily complete this year.

1. Go to California.

Since high school I have been talking about how I want to go to the west coast, but this year I am going to make it happen.

2. Make time to read for pleasure.

I love reading, but during the school year, I am always reading textbooks and never have time to read a book of my choice.

3. Finally, turn 21.

This is something out of my control, but I am finally there. I've been watching so many of my friends turn 21 and now it's my year.

4. Eat at a Michelin-Starred restaurant.

I have been watching so many cooking shows with these great chefs and now I want to try the food I always see on TV.

5. Sleep less.

I don't think I have ever slept so much in my life. This year I have been going to bed early and waking up late, it's time to start living.

6. Go to a recording of a TV show.

This is something I have always wanted to do but never really tried.

7. Wear sweatpants less often.

I have been on a leggings and sweatpants kick that I need to get out of. I have so many nice clothes, and I don't wear them as much as I want to.

8. Go to a drag show in NYC.

I went to my first drag show a couple of years ago, and I loved it. Now I want to go to one in the city.

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.

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.
