that I did in Natalie Italiano's
drawing class.
I believe drawing is a foundation to realistic painting and Studio Incamminati instructors teach and teach and teach it, both in class and as homework. Students copy master drawings. They draw from still life set-ups and from nude models in hundreds of both short and long poses. There is no doubt that drawing informs painting and at Studio Incamminati it is a necessary component of artistry. So that's part of why I draw.
But today I realized that my affection for drawing didn't begin at any school, or under any instructor's guidance. Other than my stick figures drawn as a small child I realized that my drawing started, sporadically at least, in junior high and high school.
I remember drawing the Marlboro Man from the cigarette advertisement. I remember drawing a middle aged man and small boy fishing in a lake, their bodies seen over the rim of a row boat from some other advertisement. I remember drawing horses, both from magazine photographs and from life, grazing in a field.
And then I went to college, and writing poetry and short stories replaced drawing. It wasn't until about the time my daughter was born almost twenty years later that I began to draw and sketch again.
I started by sketching her asleep in her crib or playing with finger paints, in conte crayon. There were many drawings of her, all lost somewhere in my piles of paper. There were sketches of women and unfinished drawings of our dogs and cats, too.
The sketch drawings I made of our family pets and women's profiles. |
What is so clear in hindsight, but not realized until today, is that I never set up and drew a traditional still life of my own volition. My drawing ideas came from what I connect to—living things, things I love like people, animals, trees, water. I realized that I need to draw those things—for me. Simply put, it makes me happy.
This drawing was arranged with the broken shards of a Korean vessel that belonged to my father. | ||
When I have had to set up my own still life arrangements in a still life class, my set-up often includes objects that I love because they belonged to someone I loved or things to which I feel a powerful connection. The broken pottery in the drawing at left are remnant of an old Korean vessel once belonging to my father.
I can set up a still life that speaks to me without those things, but it does have to speak to other ways, through the composition.
So you might ask, where am I going with this? I am not saying don't make still life drawings. But I am saying that when you think about your next drawing you may want to explore why you draw, and why you draw what you draw, and see what lessons you may learn from that exploration.
After having done the same, I now know how to make a composition out of all sorts of objects to which I connect at an emotional or intellectual level. Doing the same yourself means there's a powerful connection waiting for you to tap into in your own drawings. Let me know how it goes!

I remember watching my brother draw when we were younger, he older then I. Mike, my brother was a natural, he was innvited to join an art school when he was in his teens, but our mom could not afford the tuition. Why do I draw, in part, to stay connected to my past. My brother now has Graves desease and other major health problems, needless to say he doesn’t draw anymore. Why do I draw what I draw? Mainly to see first if I can, then a self challange, how well can I draw it to the level of perfection. Drawing faces is my groove now, realisticly is my goal. Thanks for asking.
i think a connection to a subject is extremely important no matter what the medium. But i love drawing nature and animals…and the more texture the more fun it is!!
The powerful connection is intriguing
Correction: The copy of a male back from Natalie Italiano’s class is actually from a Peter Paul Ruben’s drawing.
Hi Judith, what you said is so true about connection you had with your subjects. And yes, that artistic talent does come out every now and then, even if you have stopped for awhile. I have just revived my watercolor portrait hobby after like a decade of hiatus. Here’s what I did lately: http://portraithouse.net/2012/04/19/the-godfather-in-watercolors/

5 Reasons Why I Love Drawing
Be Creative
1. You temporarily forget about your worries The very minute you engage in drawing you are focused on what you are doing, and therefore, not on anything else. Your emotions change and you feel a sense of relief. Then, when you draw, your worries fly out of the window! Start creating on that blank medium!
2. You Learn To Really Look At Your Surroundings As a result in creating new pieces of artwork, you start to see all the beauty around you, and in every little thing. In addition you pay attention to nature and the beauty in the simplest of things. Like beholding the grand loveliness of a new bird on your bird feeder or really taking a closer look at a sunflower.
3. You Override Racial, Cultural, Religious and Language Barriers Any piece of artwork created in this universe tells it’s own story. Consequently art relays information and ideas by the creator that cannot otherwise be expressed in words. Art is a universal language like giving flowers to someone to convey feelings.
4. You Can Use Your Self- Expression Through creative self-expression you begin to grow and expand your existing world. You begin to gain self-awareness. It starts becoming easier to resolve problems and enhance your over-all well-being.
5. You Can Develop Something That Never Existed Before And Be Proud Of It Whatever is inside your head transfers to your medium of choice. It skyrockets your self-esteem and nurtures your soul. You can proudly let the world know this is your artwork and unique only to you!
in closing, there are countless types of artwork . Of course you might draw with pastels. Or you may paint with various mediums, like oils, acrylics, or watercolor. You could paint murals inside or outside. Perhaps you like coloring books. Possibly you like to sketch with pencils or graphite. Finally, and above all else, just remember to have fun with the process and enjoy!!!

Why do you make art? That’s the simple question Greater Good posed to seven artists. Their answers are surprising, and very diverse. They mention making art for fun and adventure; building bridges between themselves and the rest of humanity; reuniting and recording fragments of thought, feeling, and memory; and saying things that they can’t express in any other way.
All their answers are deeply personal. Elsewhere on Greater Good , we explore the possible cognitive and emotional benefits of the arts, and yet these artists evoke a more fundamental benefit: They are just doing what they feel they’re born to do.
Gina Gibney is the artistic director of the New York-based Gina Gibney Dance Company, which was founded in 1991 to serve a dual mission: to create and perform contemporary choreography that draws upon the strength and insights of women and men, and to enrich and reshape lives through programs that give voice to communities in need, especially survivors of domestic abuse and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
I make art for a few reasons. In life, we experience so much fragmentation of thought and feeling. For me, creating art brings things back together.
In my own work, that is true throughout the process. At the beginning, developing the basic raw materials for the work is deeply reflective and informative. Later, bringing those materials together into a form—distilling and shaping movement, creating a context, working to something that feels cohesive and complete. That’s incredibly powerful for me—something that really keeps me going.
Interestingly, the body of my work is like a catalog of the events and thoughts of my life. For me, making work is almost like keeping a journal. Giving that to someone else—as a kind of gift through live performance—is the most meaningful aspect of my work.
Dance is a powerful art form for the very reason that it doesn’t need to explain or comment on itself. One of the most amazing performances I have ever seen in my life was of a woman—a domestic violence survivor—dancing in a tiny conference room in a domestic violence shelter for other survivors. She was not a professional dancer. She was a woman who had faced unbelievable challenges and who was living with a great deal of sadness. She created and performed an amazing solo—but to have described her performance as “sad” would have been to diminish what we experienced.
That’s the power of dance. You can feel something and empathize with it on a very deep level, and you don’t have to put words to it.
Judy Dater has been making photographs for more than 40 years, and is considered one of America’s foremost photographers. The recipient of a Guggenheim and many other awards, her books include Imogen Cunningham: A Portrait , Women and Other Visions , Body and Soul and Cycles .
I like expressing emotions—to have others feel what it is I’m feeling when I’m photographing people.
Empathy is essential to portraiture. I’ve done landscapes, and I think they can be very poetic and emotional, but it’s different from the directness of photographing a person. I think photographing people is, for me, the best way to show somebody something about themselves—either the person I photograph or the person looking—that maybe they didn’t already know. Maybe it’s presumptuous, but that’s the desire. I feel like I’m attending to people when I’m photographing them, and I think I understand people better because I’ve been looking at them intensely for 40-some years.
Pete Docter has been involved in some of Pixar Studio’s most popular and seminal animated features, including Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Cars, and Wall-E, but he is best known as the director of the Academy-Award-winning Monsters, Inc. Docter is currently directing Up, set for release in May of 2009.
I make art primarily because I enjoy the process. It’s fun making things.
And I’m sure there is also that universal desire to connect with other people in some way, to tell them about myself or my experiences. What I really look for in a project is something that resonates with life as I see it, and speaks to our experiences as humans. That probably sounds pretty highfalutin’ coming from someone who makes cartoons, but I think all the directors at Pixar feel the same way. We want to entertain people, not only in the vacuous, escapist sense (though to be sure, there’s a lot of that in our movies too), but in a way that resonates with the audience as being truthful about life—some deeper emotional experience that they recognize in their own existence. On the surface, our films are about toys, monsters, fish, or robots; at a foundational level they’re about very universal things: our own struggles with mortality, loss, and defining who we are in the world.
As filmmakers, we’re pretty much cavemen sitting around the campfire telling stories, only we use millions of dollars of technology to do it. By telling stories, we connect with each other. We talk about ourselves, our feelings, and what it is to be human.
Or we just make cartoons. Either way we try to have a good time, and we hope the audience does too.
Harrell Fletcher teaches in the art department at Portland State University. He has exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Berkeley Art Museum, Socrates Sculpture Park in New York, and in numerous other museums and galleries around the world. In 2002, Fletcher started Learning To Love You More, a participatory website with Miranda July, which they turned into a book, published in 2007. Fletcher is the recipient of the 2005 Alpert Award in Visual Arts.
The question of why I make art needs to be broken down a bit before I can answer.
First of all, what is art? The definition for art that I have come up with, which seems to work best for me, is that anything anyone calls art is art. This comes from my belief that there is nothing intrinsic about art. We cannot do a chemical analysis to determine if something is art or not. Instead, I feel like calling something “art” is really just a subjective way of indicating value—which could be aesthetic, cultural, monetary, and so on.
If we look at other kinds of creative activity we can see how various forms can all exist and be valid at the same time. I’ve made what I think of as art since I was a child, initially drawings, then photographs, paintings, videos, and so on. By the time I got to graduate school, I was not so interested in making more stuff, and instead started to move into another direction, which these days is sometimes called “Social Practice.”
This is sort of a confusing term since it is so new and undefined. In a broad way, I think of it as the opposite of Studio Practice—making objects in isolation, to be shown and hopefully sold in a gallery context. Most of the art world operates with this Studio Practice approach. In Social Practice, there is more of an emphasis on ideas and actions than on objects; it can take place outside of art contexts, and there is often a collaborative or participatory aspect to the work.
So back to the question why I make art. In my case, the projects that I do allow me to meet people I wouldn’t ordinarily meet, travel to places I wouldn’t normally go to, learn about subjects that I didn’t know I would be interested in, and sometimes even help people out in small ways that make me feel good. I like to say that what I’m after is to have an interesting life, and doing the work that I do as an artist helps me achieve that.
Kwame Dawes, Ph.D., is Distinguished Poet in Residence at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of 13 books of verse, most recently Gomer’s Song, and a novel, She’s Gone, which won the 2008 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Best First Novel.
I write in what is probably a vain effort to somehow control the world in which I live, recreating it in a manner that satisfies my sense of what the world should look like and be like.
I’m trying to capture in language the things that I see and feel, as a way of recording their beauty and power and terror, so that I can return to those things and relive them. In that way, I try to have some sense of control in a chaotic world.
I want to somehow communicate my sense of the world—that way of understanding, engaging, experiencing the world—to somebody else. I want them to be transported into the world that I have created with language.
And so the ultimate aim of my writing is to create an environment of empathy, something that would allow the miracle of empathy to take place, where human beings can seem to rise out of themselves and extend themselves into others and live within others. That has a tremendous power for the human being. And I know this, because that is what other people’s writing does to me when I read it.
James Sturm is a cartoonist and co-founder of the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont. He is the author of the best-selling and award-winning graphic novel The Golem’s Mighty Swing, chosen as the Best Graphic Novel of 2000 by Time magazine. In 2007, his trilogy of historical graphic novels was collected in a volume entitled James Sturm’s America: God, Gold, and Golems.
I like the question “Why Do You Make Art?” because it assumes what I do is art. A flattering assumption. The question also takes me back to my freshman year of college, where such questions like “What is nature?” and “Is reality a wave or a circle?” were earnestly debated (usually late at night and after smoking too much weed).
Twenty-five years later I’d like to think I am a little more clear-headed regarding this question. Perhaps the only insight I’ve gained is the knowledge that I have no idea and, secondly, the reasons are unimportant. Depending on my mood, on any given day, I could attribute making art to a high-minded impulse to connect with others or to understand the world or a narcissistic coping mechanism or a desire to be famous or therapy or as my religious discipline or to provide a sense of control or a desire to surrender control, etc., etc., etc.
Whatever the reason, an inner compulsion exists and I continue to honor this internal imperative. If I didn’t, I would feel really horrible. I would be a broken man. So whether attempting to make art is noble or selfish, the fact remains that I will do it nevertheless. Anything past this statement is speculation. I would be afraid that by proclaiming why I make art would be generating my own propaganda.
Lawrence Krisna Parker, better known by his stage name KRS-One, is widely considered by critics and other MCs to be one of hip hop’s most influential figures. At the 2008 Black Entertainment Television Awards, KRS-One was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for his rapping and activism.
I was born this way, born to make art, to make hip hop. And I think I’m just one of the people who had the courage to stay with my born identity. Hip hop keeps me true to myself, keeps me human.
Hip hop is the opposite of technology. Hip hop is what the human body does: Breaking, DJing, graffiti writing. The human body breakdances, you can’t take that away. DJing is not technology; it’s human intelligence over technology: cutting, mixing, scratching. It’s physical. The manipulation of technology is what humans do, that’s art.
Or take graffiti writing. Put a writing utensil in any kid’s hand at age two or three. They will not write on a paper like they’ll later be socialized to do, they will write on the walls. They’re just playing. That’s human. Graffiti reminds you of your humanity, when you scrawl your self-expression on the wall. Hip hop helps us to see the things in the world in new ways.
That’s why hip hop has kept me young. It doesn’t allow you to grow up too fast. Hip hop is beyond time, beyond space. That’s why I make hip hop.

Drawing is one of the most favourite hobbies among children all around the world. That’s why a trend of essay writing on the hobby of drawing is always noticed in various examinations all around the world. Because of that, we have decided to come up with such a session that will show the proper method of writing essays on drawing hobby. So here we are presenting a session on essay writing on my drawing hobby specifically for students who are in class 6-9.
My Hobby Drawing
I am a student of class 6. All my friends have something as their hobby. My hobby is drawing pictures. I love to draw since when I was in class 2. As my drawing teacher, I admire Mr. Swapan Saha from whom I’ve learned the basics of drawing. I love to draw natural sceneries as well as figures.
My teacher always says that nature should be the ultimate inspiration for any painter. That’s why all of us should try to draw pictures not only from drawing books but also from our own. I always try to follow all the advice of my teacher. In the future, I want to be a painter like Swapan Sir.
All of my friends have chosen something as their hobby. Ramesh chose gardening, Tithi chose to stitch design on clothes, and therefore I have chosen drawing as my hobby. I am a student of class VII of Madonmohan High School. My class teacher always says that everybody should choose that as their hobby what he/she loves. I love painting from even my early childhood.
In terms of my hobby, my father is my inspiration. He is a very good painter. He always teaches me how to draw human figures, rivers, and mountains. But I love to draw animals in my paintings. I prefer pencil scatches rather than colored pictures.
Still, I have learned to paint with different colors. With those colors, I love to paint rainbows the most. Rainbows, mountains, waterfalls are still a mystery to me. Father says, these all are the gifts of nature to us. In my future, I always want to be a painter like my father.
Every people in the world choose something as their hobby. One of my school teachers says that a perfect hobby helps a person to get mentally mature and content. So, it is very important to choose a proper hobby in life. He also says that a person should only choose something as a hobby that he/she loves to do. These hobbies help us to spend even our leisure time with productivity.
I am a student of class VIII. I love to draw pictures since I was a child. That’s why I chose drawing as my hobby. This hobby doesn’t only help me to spend my leisure time, but it also helps me to think deeply and explore the creative nature inside me. I usually prefer to draw pictures, not from the drawing books but from the canvas of my own mind.
That’s why after finishing every picture, I feel that the creative mind inside me has got awaken. My drawing teacher says that it improves the level of creativity inside a human being. I started attending formal drawing classes since I was in class II.
At the very beginning of my classes, I learned pencil sketches of different objects and thereafter shifted to oil pastel colors. Now after spending long years with pencil sketches and oil pastel, I have shifted to watercolor.
My drawing teacher told me that I will be learning to paint on canvas after my 10th board examination. For that now I need to deeply focus on learning all the basics. I am very excited about learning how to paint on canvas. I would also love to learn the method of oil painting my future.
I have decided that whatever I will do professionally in my life, I will continue painting. My drawing teacher, Mr. Rajat Banerjee is my inspiration in this case.
Drawing; My Hobby
A hobby is something that a person pursues to take a break from the same monotonous regular routine. That’s why everyone chooses something as a hobby that they love. Because as wise men say that love can be the ultimate motivation to do something.
So, we all need to choose something as our hobby that we are passionate about. Without passion, all our efforts to do something creative go into the vein. That’s why my father says that hobbies are needed to be chosen wisely and very carefully for proper utilization of both time and effort.
I am a student of class IX of XYZ school have chosen drawing as my hobby since childhood. From my very early age, I love to draw pictures. The subject of the picture hardly matters to me. Rather I focus on the interior design inside my painting. I used to draw pictures on papers as well as floors without any formal training since I was a child.
Now I consider that phase as the most creative part of the painting life. Because what we see from a child’s naked eye and draw as pictures are completely different from what we see and draw now. My parents always inspired me the most in pursuing my hobby. They want me to see as a professional painter in my life. In order to have the basic training of drawing, I started my formal classes from class III.
I chose renowned painter Mr. Basab Chatterjee as my drawing teacher. He always tells me that painting is all about thinking deeply. According to him, our pencil draws beautiful lines as our mind possesses beautiful thoughts. So, before working on the techniques, we need to work on our ability of thinking. I prefer watercolour paintings rather than any other method.
Besides drawing, I love to read many different kinds of books on painting. My drawing teacher has a massive collection of books on the history of painting. I borrow books from him and read them thoroughly. From there I have learned about painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Sandro Botticelli, Vincent van Gogh, etc.
I have read about many different art movements and different schools of paintings. My favorite painters are Abanindranath Tagore and Nandalal Bose. Their life and style of painting inspire me a lot. I want to go to the Indian College Of Art & Craft for higher studies on painting after completing school.
That was all about essay writing on My hobby Drawing. We have tried to cover every possible point on the topic from the very perspective of class 6-9 grade students. Moreover, we have maintained the word limit relevant for various examinations. Hope you found this session helpful as per your requirement. Let us know your valuable opinion as well as suggestions for this session in the comment section below. Thank you; see you again very soon.
Why i love art... and why you should too, art is the best way to release emotions and promote mindfulness..
Growing up the daughter of a mother who minored in art in college, the interpretation of the visual manifestation of the innermost workings of the heart and its ability to be transpired in various mediums were highly inspiring. The most interesting thing about art, for me, even when growing up, was its therapeutic properties.
Art, in and of itself, is not limited to just visuals, like painting, drawing, or photography, but can be physical or audible. I believe that there are many athletes who have cultivated and perfected their sport to the point where it is an art, an expression of the innermost feelings and workings of the soul, manifested in the human body. The idea of the versatility of art, the fact that it is not limited to what can be seen in museums, is amazing.
I love art and think it is entirely necessary to incorporate into everyday life. Art, for me, has taught me so much. I have begun to understand, through my art in its various mediums and forms, my life. Sometimes when my thoughts cannot set themselves straight, when they run wild with the transmogrified incidents I overanalyze, sketching reorders my thoughts.
I have watched what I am feeling inside, the invisible sentiments of my mind, become beauty on paper, and transport themselves into my art and whatever it is I feel. It's really amazing to see the way my hands make sense of what is going on in my mind.
While I often use sketching and photography as my primary mediums, that does not discount the importance of having an artistic outlet that encourages mindfulness. It's incredibly important throughout life to have an outlet through which one is able to express themselves and reorder their thoughts. It is in artistic outlets that one is able to understand who they are as an individual, develop their experiences and enhance their particular tastes and understand their emotions.
It's like filling a balloon. Emotions fill your mind as air fills a balloon, crowding it and overfilling it until it bursts. One must release emotions, little bits at a time so that it won’t burst. Art is a great way to do that. I know there are days when I am on the verge of breaking, and need a release. It is art that helps me release my mind from its tethers and make sense of my thoughts.
Power of love letters, i don't think i say it enough....
To My Loving Boyfriend,
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 .
Thank you for being supportive with everything that I want to do. Instead of trying to convince me 'no', you're encouraging me with a 'yes' or 'you got it'. Having you as my number one cheerleader is such a blessing, because I know I'll always have someone rooting for me. And you know that as much as you're cheering for me, I'm cheering for you right back. Having such immense support for one another is so important in any relationship, and I'm so lucky to have that kind of love and attention coming from you everyday.
I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you more than words can write. I could probably talk for hours about how much I love you and how obsessed I am with you, but that's a little too much to put into an approximately 500 word piece. More importantly than telling you, I hope I'm able to show you everyday through my actions how much of a positive impact you have on my life. I'm certainly not the same person I was when we first started talking over two years ago, but I'm definitely a better person today than then, with a big thanks to you for that. You've helped me grow so much and I know you'll help me to improve for the better even more in the future.
I can't wait to see where life's adventures take us next. The only thing I know is that I definitely want to enjoy those adventures with you by my side. I promise to keep enjoying all of the little things that make every day with you so amazing. Thank you for the thousandth for everything that you do for me, because I don't know where I would be - or who I would be - had it not been you by my side all this time. Thank you for being my best friend, my secret keeper, and my confidante. And if I don't say it enough, always know I love you and everything that you do.
With So Much Love,
Your Very Appreciative Girlfriend
Because no one ever really leaves..
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.
https://patch.com/new-york/hauppauge/ev--college-night-b588e8eb
We only have one high school here, and no matter what grade you are in, everyone seems to know everyone. We are a small school with a lot of spirit. Homecoming and Kicks for Cancer are two of our huge athletic events that occur every year, and the whole town comes out to support our football and soccer teams. If you don’t go to at least one of these events, are you really even from Hauppauge?
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hauppauge_Palace_Diner.jpg
We have two diners in Hauppauge, where it is not unlikely you may find some teenagers hanging out there until 3 in the morning, sipping on some milkshakes, or downing some fries. The diners are a very popular place to be after any school concerts or theater productions run by the school districts.
https://www.yelp.com/biz/smith-haven-mall-lake-grove
Smith Haven mall is pretty much the only mall anyone from Hauppauge goes to. Sure, we have Bay Shore mall and Walt Whitman mall not too far from us, but Smith Haven mall is right around the corner. It has all the shops that any mall really should have, and a pretty good food court too. You can almost never go there without seeing someone you know from home.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Moses_State_Park
One real perk of living in Hauppauge is the 20-minute or less drive to almost any beach on Long Island (excluding the Hamptons). We have Robert Moses beach on the South Shore and Sunken Meadow beach on the North Shore. Whether you are in the mood for a busy beach day or a quiet day at the Long Island Sound, it is not hard to find the right spot. Since we are in the middle of the island, getting to the beach is something to really look forward to.
https://www.branchinellisonline.com/hauppauge/
You know that strip of fast food places right across the street from the middle school and high school? Well, it has officially been nicknamed “Restaurant Row.” After that 2:15 dismissal at the high school, you’ll be able to find tons of students hiking across the soccer fields with determination to get their fill of Wendy’s, McDonald’s, or Panera Bread. There is also Starbucks , Burger King, and our own Branchinelli’s Pizza… which is a whole other level of amazing pizza.

So, Friday nights in middle school always ended up with the majority of us ice skating with our best friends. The Rinx also happens to be one of the best rinks on the island with many teams having practices there… yet Hauppauge does not even have an ice-hockey team…. Weird.
https://www.888vetshighway.com/
Honestly, Hauppauge is really just that town that cars pass through while trying to get to bigger towns. Veterans Highway drives right through the middle of us and you usually just end up in Smithtown or Commack. Those two towns are more well-known for being bigger and having higher populations.

You know that huge maze of roads aligned with dull looking buildings that seems to stretch as far as the eyes can see? Yeah, the roads that are infested with geese everywhere… The industrial park is apparently one of the largest in the nation, and its almost impossible not to get lost in, unless, yes, you’re from that side of Hauppauge.

Everyone just loves this town so much, that they really never seem to leave. You really know you grew up in Hauppauge when half of the teachers in the school district went to the schools when they were kids! They know the halls better than we do!

Yes, this is the name of the 24/7 bagel store you have been to at least once at 3 in the morning. Hot Bagels is home to the best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches around. It is almost impossible to go there and not wait in a huge line. That’s all right though, because chances are you’re standing next to someone you know or have seen around town.

Sledding at the high school is a winter tradition for all of us. Whether you are with babysitting young children or you’re with your best friends, you have most likely been to the huge hill near the soccer fields at the school. You actually get quite the rush when sleigh riding down some steep slopes and hitting some moguls!
"moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other disney movies do., 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.
Moana always felt the ocean calling her name but it wasn't until she finally listened to it that she was able to learn why it had been calling her and where it was taking her.
Moana itself teaches this lesson in nearly every scene but I think it is best demonstrated when Moana continues to go back to confront Te Ka, the goddess of fire , with the desperate hope of being able to complete the task the ocean had given her. Maui also faces his fears in this scene as he comes back to help Moana after previously saying that he wouldn't.
Maui was certainly feeling defeated numerous times throughout the movie but he kept getting back up and eventually became the strongest and best demigod he has ever been.
Grandma Tala dies, it is by her faith in Moana and the lessons she has taught her that Moana is able to finally follow the call of the ocean. Grandma Tala said she wanted to come back as a stingray, which she did just when Moana needed her most.
Maui made the fatal mistake stealing the heart of Te Fiti because he thought that would make the humans happy . Instead, he ensured the destruction of the ocean and all of the islands that inhabit it. Thankfully, Moana came along to teach Maui about the error of his ways and help him to fix the damage he has caused.
Grandma Tala tells it best; she was never afraid of what other people on the island thought of her and the ways in which she lived her life differently than the them. She simply did the things that made her happy and tried to teach others to do the same.
The reason why Maui took the heart of Te Fiti in the first place was because he wanted the love and approval of the humans and he felt that that was the best way for him to receive it. Maui's parents abandoned him as a child so he was always desperately searching for love because it was so absent from his life.
Before embarking on her quest, Moana knew nothing about sailing let alone working with a demigod to return the heart of Te Fiti. However, she learned that she was far more powerful than she could ever had hoped to be as she persevered through every obstacle. Although there were times when she wanted to give up, at one point she even did, she always somehow found the strength to continue working towards her goal.
Moana showing Te ka kindness and compassion is what led to Te Ka returning back to Te Fiti, the living mother island and restoring the world to it's beautiful and fruitful live.
You wish you could be #5, but you know you're probably a #6..
There are thousands of universities around the world, and each school boasts its own traditions and slogans. Some schools pride themselves on sports , while others emphasize their research facilities. While there is a myriad of differences among each and every school, there will always these seven types of students in class.
2. the one who is always online shopping.
It doesn't matter whether it's fall, winter, spring or summer - these people are online shopping every single lecture. They usually sit a row or few in front of you, and while the professor is lecturing, instead of taking notes or even trying to act like they're listening, they just aimlessly scroll through Aritzia, Forever 21 and Zara. The only time their eyes ever leave their computer screen is when class ends, so they're basically just there for giggles.
This person comes to class every day, but somehow never stays awake for more than 20 minutes. You can sometimes hear the occasional snore from a corner of a large lecture hall, or catch their heads nodding like a pendulum near the front of the class if they're the studious type . But let's be real here: we've all been one of those students at some point.
This category of students is probably the most common. Sure, they'll go to class, but all they do is surf through memes on Facebook or watch others play Fortnite. These people are in class for the attendance grade, not to learn. On occasion, they may raise their hand in class to ask a generic, vague question that has already been covered but hey, gotta get that participation grade. They're just doing everything they can to survive college, and honestly, it's a mood.
Standing as probably the most frustrating category of people in this list, these students won't know about a midterm until two days before. The day before the exam, they'll be chilling in Malibu and partying at night. They go to class every once in a while when the class time doesn't clash with one of their many elaborate social plans, but never pay attention. Somehow, they still ace all their exams and end up with the top grade in the class.
These people will start studying for a midterm at least two weeks before hand, and will be so stressed about homework and classes that they spend more time worrying about the workload than actually doing the work itself. They're in desperate need of a relaxing vacation that they're too stressed to plan, and they disappear from the outside world for weeks at a time. You can usually find them in a study room in a library, where they probably have been in for the past week.
You didn't even know that they were in your class to begin with because they never show up until it's exam week. Are they too smart for the class or struggling too hard to care ? The world may never know. Maybe they're just straight chilling in their apartments being lazy, but most of time, they probably didn't even put this class on their schedules. Catch them going to Disneyland on a weekday at least once a month, which is more than the frequency that they attend class.
When you have no ideas for what to wear to this date function.
I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.
If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes .
I think that this one would be super cute except one of the dates would have to not talk the entire function which would be extremely difficult.
This is my personal favorite except it would be difficult to dress up like a ramp.
For this you could have one person dress up like hooter's girl and have one person wear plastic shot glasses with color glue in them.
For this one person could wear a cape and a Sherlock hat with a magnifying glass and the other person could dress up like the bird Woodstock or the festival.

This would be the coolest idea to do. To dress up like a bowl of spaghetti and a Yeti. The only thing you would have to watch would to make sure that the Yeti didn't eat the spaghetti.
This would be very cute. You could use a backpack or a laundry basket for the shell.
I don't know if you have seen the bladder cartoon but just imagine someone dressed up like that. Wouldn't that be so cute?
The snake could use the rake. This would be a very easy to dress up for.
You could dress up like a thing of jam or like a dollop of jam and just wear a single color.
You could dress with pink and then the other person could dress with brown.
All you need for this one is a banana costume and old lady clothes
One person would dress up as a milk carton and the other as any kind of fairy.
I think that this is the most creative pairing that has ever been thought of. The hibachi person would definitely have to have one of those tall hats they wear.
You could put your arms through the straps that come out of the trash bag and just wrap an American flag around yourself (as long as it doesn't touch the floor).
This would be super cute if the person who was the gumball put puffballs onto their shirt and wore silver pants.
A rhyme without reason date function is a social gathering when partners show up wearing outfits that rhyme with each other. It opens up an opportunity for creativity. It is most popular on college campuses, though it can be extended to other parts of society as a fun way to play dress-up. It also gains additional popularity around Halloween time, given the interest in costumes and dressing up for that holiday.
There are so many options: A Dog and a Frog could be fun. A Ramp and a Lamp, a Whale and a Snail, a Rake and a Snake, a Trash Bag and a Flag, and Bob Ross and Dental Floss are just some ideas for a rhyme without reason date function. Using your own creativity, you could think of countless more options and if you explore the web, you'll find lists out there to provide inspiration . Rhyming without reason at the end of the day is all about having fun.
For starters, TikTok has a whole collection of rhyme without reason ideas. You could browse those for quite some time and find plenty of inspiration. You might also look toward Her Campus for plenty more ideas or our handy list . There's no shortage of options around the web, but some of the best ideas may come from you. Start with the rhyming perspective and then think about what fun pairings would be for a real-life rhyme without reason costume party.
