10 New Year's Resolutions You Will Forget In Two Weeks

The trend of blowing off resolutions dates back to our innocent childhood years. Remember when you would tell your whole family, while trying to fit in with the new year fad, that you were going to give up sweets? Do you remember how ridiculously delicious that hidden candy bar tasted as it first touched your lips only one week later? And as you sat there, chocolate smeared all over your chubby cheeks, you realized that New Year's resolutions were just unrealistic. So, here are the New Year's resolutions that you will forget about in two weeks. 

1. Work out more. Trying to workout once you are back at school is generally prioritized after classes, homework, and going out. Also, school rec centers are scary and filled with meat heads, machines you don't know how to use, and people you know.


2. Drink less. 
After spending an entire month of break watching movies with your parents in sweatpants, you are going to want to go out as much as humanly possible. The second you get back on your campus, the thirst will show no mercy. 



3. Eat healthier. Mom's homemade cooking and endless supply of produce had you feeling some type of way. However, once you return to your smelly mini-fridge and empty bank account, you realize that eating healthy is  probably not going to happen. Also, we all know the drunchies are necessary if you want to survive. 


4. Keep up with your laundry.
But getting quarters is hard and it is heavy, and then I have to fold it. 


5.  Wake up earlier. 
Being able to take your time getting ready and actually sitting down for breakfast sounds incredible. However, that cozy twin bed will always win and you will end up running out the door with bed head and a banana. 


6. No random hook ups. 
Your friends, who at the beginning of the night may be very respectable and intelligent wingmen or women, turn into the last people you should listen to. 



7. Look nice for class. The thought of wearing jeans to class...


8. Stay away from the jerks you left over break. 
While staying away is easy from a distance, the second you are out and see them at the bars.


9. Do your homework and don't procrastinate. Head to the library to do all of the homework you saved for Sunday.



10. Get organized and figure out your future. Figuring out your life will come, when it comes.



While resolutions and getting your life together is a great idea, there will likely be no other time in your life when you will be able to live the college lifestyle. Once you enter the adult world, you will no longer be able to wear leggings every day, drink four nights a week, and have absolute freedom. In other words, enjoy these four years and save the resolutions for when you become a socially acceptable human.

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.

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.
