The Independent, United Kingdom Edition

We all have those moments when you've been laying in bed or sitting on the couch for just too long. It begins to feel like your body is molded into the position you're in and your butt is beginning to fall asleep. Or maybe you finding yourself eating when you aren't even hungry. No worries though, we're all are guilty of that one. Whatever it is that you do when you're bored, not to worry, here is a list of 10 things to do when you can't think of anything else to do.

1. Write letters to friends and family

Since when did mailing letters become a lost art? Everyone enjoys getting hand-written mail between all those bills and unfriendly doctor appointment reminders. The ultimate cure for boredom is doing something you know will make another person smile.

2. Give your pet a makeover

Give your pet a major grooming session. Give them a bath, brush their hair, scrub those teeth and paint those nails! They may not enjoy it the whole time, but it is extremely satisfying.

3. Become a fitness guru

It may not last, but get yourself motivated to work out. Download fitness apps or do timed workouts while jamming to you're favorite motivational playlist. You may not decide to do it again the next day, but a little exercise never hurt anyone.

4. People watch

This is perhaps the creepiest pastime, but a personal favorite. Go observe others at a local coffee shop or park. Bring your laptop or a good book, and no one will ever know you're eavesdropping.

5. Make a new food

Go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of ingredients that could possibly go well together. Invite some friends over, mix them up, and taste your concoction.

6. Paint things with nail polish

This may sound odd, but glamorizing your phone case or keys with some glittery nail polish is always fun to do.

7. Take a really good selfie

Glam yourself up; make-up, hair, the whole thing...just for a selfie. There's no shame in taking a really nice looking selfie. Plus, you'll have a great new Instagram photo!

8. Color coordinate your closet

Organize your closet by color. This way, you can easily pick out items of clothing that go with one another!

9. Binge watch a new show

This one is for those who haven't been on the couch all day. Become obsessed with a new show and you won't have to worry about boredom for another second.

10. Make a visualization board

Cut out pictures, phrases, and articles you like from magazines and put them all together to create a creative masterpiece that will inspire you!

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.
