10 Reasons You Should Get Up in the Morning
Quotesgram

Beep! Beep! Beep! The obnoxious shrill of the alarm clock signs its terrible song yet again! I know how you feel, it was like you just laid your head on the pillow for a nice, rejuvenating sleep, but instead all you got was a bunch of weirdly realistic dreams about your math test, the ACT, and how you're supposed to pay for college, and for some reason, just to add to the already existing anxiety and worry, you were 8 months pregnant. After scary dreams like that, and a less than intriguing day ahead of 7 hours of school, speech team practice, play practice, work, and homework ahead of you, getting out of bed seems like a worse decision than ignoring the radar at Pearl Harbor on December 1st 1941. Okay maybe not that bad, but sometimes it's hard to think of any reason to come out of your cozy cocoon in the morning. Whenever you're feeling that gravitational pull towards your bed in the morning, just remember these reasons to get up and start your day!

1. You have thumbs

You may not know this, but the fact that you have thumbs entitles you to so many things! Drinking water out of cups, braiding hair, making friendship bracelets. We are at the top of the food chain because of our thumbs, and we have really taken advantage of it with the whole creating society, technology, communicating, and indoor plumbing! You can do anything because you have thumbs!

2.There is music to be heard

I don't know about you but no matter where you are there is nothing more beautiful than hearing a catchy tune first thing in the morning. Whether it's a street performer, the radio, your Pandora app, or the little kid rapping on his way to school, let it brighten your day!

3. You are supposed to do such amazing things today!

The world is waiting for you out there! Don't let her down.

4. You can run, jump, skip, leap and sit all you want

We don't do it enough, so when you're feeling like not getting up in the morning give yourself a reward and play it's okay to act like your five again and do all of the things your body forgot that it could do!

5. Dogs

I think it is safe to say that dogs are the most beautiful things that have ever walked this earth, and here's the secret: They are everywhere!

And, they aren't like people in public, they like to be touched! Make a new fluffy canine your friend on the street.

6. There are attractive people everywhere

Go out and get yourself a man, honey! Strike up a convo at work or on the bus ride to school, love is waiting to happen to everyone.

7. There is food to be eaten

Forget about watching your calories and splurge on all of those tasty treats you hope to dream about!

8. Sometimes people have good things to say

There's always a nice surprise when going through your day of stranger or a best friend sharing a little insight with you. Whether they tell you their deepest secrets or just tell you that they like your necklace, you should look forward to the little things that people have to say to you all throughout your day!

9. Work may suck, but at least you get money!

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you material things, and material things are happiness. Forget what they say about love.

10. The day would be sad without you.

You're the life of the party! Do you even know how many crushes you have waiting to pass you in the hallway or at they gym? It's beautiful and so are you! Get up and have a great day!

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.

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.
