17 Resolutions to Make in 2017

2016 went by in the blink of an eye and now it's already 2017. How many of you stuck to your New Years resolution last year? If you didn't, it's okay. It's 2017 now, and the New Year calls for a chance to a new start. However, making and sticking to a resolution can be tricky. This year, find a resolution that is important to you and stick to it. Here are seventeen ideas for your New Years resolution this year.

  1. Go for a run at least three times a week.
  2. Pick up a new hobby like scrapbooking or yoga.
  3. Read more books than you did last year.
  4. Learn a new skill that will look great on your resume.
  5. Keep a journal and write in it anything you want to remember.
  6. Start a blog about anything that interests you.
  7. Volunteer at a local animal shelter.
  8. Attempt to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.
  9. Fix your sleep schedule and get 8 solid hours of sleep a night.
  10. Limit your social media time each day.
  11. Spend more time with better people.
  12. Eliminate those people who bring you down from your life.
  13. Eat breakfast; even just a yogurt is a quick and easy breakfast on those days you're in a rush.
  14. Overcome a fear you've always had whether it be as simple as riding a roller coaster for the first time or as scary as telling that person you love him or her.
  15. Learn to relax more. While work is important, it is equally important to have some time to do what you enjoy. Set aside at least an hour each day to have some "me" time.
  16. Travel somewhere and plan a vacation to a place you've always wanted to visit.
  17. Become more organized. Clean your room, order your documents, make a schedule. Organization is important.

2017 is a new year and a blank page. You choose how to write your year. So what will you write?

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.
