Do you have an assignment due at 11:59 P.M. tonight? Do you have a huge test you're just not mentally ready to prepare for yet? Most importantly, are you looking to procrastinate until the very last second? Then this list is for you!


1. Check all of your social media apps. Twice.

2. Write down everything you have to do for the week in your planner, and carry over anything that didn’t get done the previous week.

3. Facetime your friends and distract them from their homework.

4. Find your favorite picture and paint it.

5. Learn a new song on an instrument.

6. If you can’t play an instrument, try to learn all the words to a song you’ve only heard a couple of times.

7. Start on your homework for other classes. Work on it for ten minutes and then do something not school-related.

8. Online shop for a dress for your formal that is two months away.

9. Start making a Christmas wish list for your parents (because we know what we want better than them at this point).

10. Watch an obsessive amount of Facebook cooking videos.

11. Try a new recipe from a Facebook cooking video.

12. Look up what concerts are coming to a town near you and plan a trip to go.

13. Start planning your Spring Break five months in advance.

14. Write in a journal, and if you don’t have one, go out and buy one.

15. Try on a bunch of outfits in your closet and take a picture of them for future reference.

16. Get a snack.

17. If all you have in your pantry is stale Cheerios and a brown, over-ripe banana, go grocery shopping.

18. Last but not least, start panicking. Because if you’ve done everything on the list, then you probably haven’t left yourself enough time to write your essay.

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.

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.
