"Make it one you will remember forever. And do not miss out on any opportunities given to you. You’ll blink and it’ll be 2018."

  1. “New year , new me” is a little extreme. Instead, try and make this year the best possible. Whether that means being exactly who you were last year, or a completely new version of you.
  2. Every time you get stressed out, take a breathe and remember it’ll all be worth it in the long run.
  3. Watch that extra episode of netflix, eat that extra slice of pizza, and take that 20 minute nap.. You deserve it.
  4. Take a leap of faith this year. Do something you wouldn’t normally do.
  5. Complete your homework early so you can spend the extra hours with your friends.
  6. Stay up late and watch that movie.. You can sleep when you have down time (even if that is never).
  7. Take adventures and use your weekends to explore.
  8. Do something kind for someone. Not because you feel like you have to, because you want to.
  9. Turn off your phone and go outside for a few hours. Take in every ounce of this world we live in.
  10. Take the time out of your day to realize all of the blessings you have. Think about all of the opportunities you have been given, and be appreciative of them.
  11. Call your parents more often. They have given you everything you have so be thankful.
  12. Make your friends a huge home cooked meal (even if you suck at cookie, just try). Show them how much you care.
  13. No matter how much you don’t want to, do the extra credit that is offered to you.
  14. Go out and try new foods and restaurants in your town.
  15. Find the tiny little coffee shops and go in. Read a book there, take your time, and take in all of the scenery.
  16. If you get upset, don’t react on impulse. Take a breathe and calm down.
  17. Use this year as a clean slate. Make it one you will remember forever. And do not miss out on any opportunities given to you. You’ll blink and it’ll be 2018.

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.
