15 Things You Do Except The Thing You Are Supposed To Do

Even though it is summer, we all have things we are supposed to be doing. Applying for that scholarship. Finishing up that study abroad reflection. Start that Odyssey article that is due tonight. Figure out exactly how you're going to pay rent for your apartment. You know, those general things everyone needs to be doing (right? please say right) but hasn't yet. Yet, of course, we haven't done those things because we are too busy doing the things we aren't supposed to be doing.

Get ready for the 15 things you do except the thing you are supposed to be doing:

1. Delete all the unnecessary pictures off your camera roll

You have to free up that space so you can take more dramatic selfies in that prime lighting you discovered in the bathroom.

2. Bake cookies

I always go for chocolate chip, but any type of cookie applies here. It will give you something to make you feel productive without actually being productive.

3. Figure out your next hairstyle

To Pinterest!

4. Eat the cookies

Once you have found the perfect picture of a blonde balayage to show to your hairstylist you can finally eat the cookies you made. Take a seat, enjoy the moment and eat every single last one until all that is left is crumbs and your regrets.

5. Read a book that is not for school

May I suggest Saint Anything by the amazingly talented Sarah Dessen? I read it in one day and felt immense sadness the moment it was over. That's how you know you just read a really, really good story.

6. Watch 'Friends'

I will never, not suggest this.

7. Stalk your favorite celebrities Instagram's

Justin Baldoni from Jane the Virgin (#teamrafael) is my favorite to stalk because he is pretty, his wife is pretty, his child is pretty and his life, in general, is pretty. A few minutes of checking out his Instagram feed you will start to feel pretty too.

8. Try and buy Kylie Jenner's limited edition birthday bundle makeup set

All I have to say on this subject is the third try was NOT the charm...

9. Drop your phone on the floor and shatter the screen

Or don't.

10. Read this article

Much thanks for opening this weird little listicle and getting this far. From me to you, thank you so much for taking the time to read my little rants and such. It means the world to me!

11. Call your parents

Am I the only one who enjoys talking to my mom and dad?

12. Bug your friends as they try to do the thing they are supposed to do

Then you can create a horde of people who aren't doing what they are supposed to do. Just imagine it, an army of procrastinators! You wouldn't get anything done, but at least you wouldn't feel bad about not writing out your detailed plan for world domination. You and your comrades will be too busy playing Pokémon Go.

13. Plan out your birthday party

So what if it is five months away? You might as well get a head start on something!

14. Write a rap and then participate in a rap battle

It's titled 'Love and Cheese'.

15. Tell people about how there is something you're supposed to do, but instead, you are doing something else

They may not care, but at least it is something to do.

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.

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.
