17 Things To Do This New Year
The Author Incubator

With the New Year here, why not try something new. It can either be a small event or a big goal to take on. And this might help out some of you who are looking to do something new or reach a goal for this year. And for some of us, finding a new year’s resolution or goal (that’s just right for us) can be tough. So here are a few ideas to consider.

1.Travel to another state and/or country.

2. Read an entire book series

3. Save a little amount of money each week until the end of the year. Whether its 10 dollars or 1, by the end of the year you’ll be happy you saved.

4. Stay off social media for a day or however long you’re comfortable with.

5. Volunteer somewhere. You’ll feel good about yourself afterwards. Whether it is at an animal shelter or a homeless shelter.

6. Eat healthy for at least a week. Try going vegan or detoxing your body for a while.

7. Quit a bad habit. For instance, quit smoking or biting your nails.

8.Treat yourself to something at least once a week. Buy yourself that favorite shirt you’ve been wanting or that snack you’ve been craving so much.

9. Try a new food.

10. Learn a new language.

11. Foster an animal. If you don’t want to fully adopt a pet, fostering one might be right for you. Not only will you keep an animal off the streets or out of a shelter, you will be giving them the love they deserve until they find their forever home.

12. Create a new food to show off to your friends and family.

13. Start a new tradition for the holidays or just in general.

14. Don’t stress as much. Take more time for yourself this year and take care of your mind and body. Even you need a break sometimes.

15. Meet new people. Yeah it’s nice to be alone, but it’s even nicer to have people around you that you can connect with, especially if they’re new.

16. Try not to procrastinate so much with school or work. This year try and stay on top of everything that is going on in your life. This might also help you to become more organized as well and push yourself more.

17. And most importantly make more time for those who matter.

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.
