10 Things You Can Do Instead of Stress

1. Watch this compilation of The Office Bloopers.


2. Use Google "I'm feeling lucky" and search "puppy pictures".

You're welcome.


3. Find a perfect Pinterest craft and actually do it this time.

You know there's been a craft on your mind for months that you just can't find the time for. Make the time and let out some bad vibes through that canvas.


4. Take a mental health day.

Your professor may not agree with me but mental health days are necessary. Take one and you'll see what I mean.


5. Buy a Lush bath bomb and take a bath.

They aren't going to be overrated when you are finally stress free. Pro Tip: Don't buy any of the bombs completely covered in silver glitter, you can thank me later.


6. Have a dance party in the middle of your room, Meredith Grey style.

Try it, I dare you. It may just stick and you'll be doing it for the next 15 years to come.



7. Go online shopping.

This one is pretty dangerous but we all know it helps so I had to include it. Just don't spend your rent money and you'll be fine.


8. Play games on Sporcle.com.

This website is dangerously addicting. Soon you won't remember what you were stressing about.


9. Keep calm and text your best friend to have a wine and Netflix night.

It's what they're there for, and if they're really your best friend they will also let you pick the show.


10. Look up inspiring quotes and put them on sticky notes around your house.

If you put them around your house other people will benefit from them also. Here's a start: "Be so good they can't ignore you." "Don't stress. Do your very best. Appreciate each step. Forget the rest." "Never let anyone treat you like a yellow Starburst; you are a pink Starburst."

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.
