I gotta take my own advice with this one. I'm super done with hearing from my friends/my friends are done with hearing from me about the guys who fuck us over/we continue to go back to/we never liked in the first place we're just lonely or bored.

Here are 10 reasons to stop settling for that guy you "sort of" like and start focusing on yourself!!!!

1. Plenty of fish in the sea

If you're settling because you think he's the only one that will like you... You are mistaken!! Plenty of guys will like you, so stop being with this lame dude and start finding someone you actually like.


2. It's not fair to him

Not only is it not fair to you to settle, but its not fair to him. What if this guy actually really likes you and you're just tagging him along?? Aw stop that, don't play with peoples emotions.


3. Spend time becoming a better you

Before you find a man, do some things for yourself that maybe this guy you like is stopping you from. Go to the gym, a museum, eat some good food. Do ya thing honey.


4. Start being okay with being alone

This is especially hard for some people who always have a boyfriend, but it's time to sit and chill with yourself for awhile. Being alone is fun when you like yourself!!!! (see #3)


5. He's annoying

I know for a fact that men in general are annoying. But if you don't even truly like this guy, then I'm sure some of the shit he does annoys you...a lot.


6. Huge time commitment

Texting, calling, FaceTiming, dates, dinner, partying, etc. all that takes up so much time. Time with somebody you don't even really like. Is it even fun to chill with them at a certain point?

7. You're better than that

In general, don't settle for someone who you don't like that much. If you aren't in it 100% there is absolutely no point. You deserve a person who makes you happy... not question why you're with them!!


8. In the end, it'll probably make you feel worse

Whether you feel bad about leading him on, or that you feel like you could have done better than him the whole time and now you're like ...well fuck? In the end, you're not gonna feel good about it.


9. Once one door closes, another one opens!!

Don't be nervous to break it off!! You'll find someone else, you can fill your time other ways than just being with him!


10. You're more prone to cheat

If you're always looking for someone better than the one you're with, you will be more prone to cheat on the person. See #2 he will get hurt.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.

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.
