20 Nearly Insignificant Things I've Found Give My Life Meaning
Colleen Finney

These things all have a way of making me smile or cheering me up on a rainy day. We all need little pick me ups when life gets rough. Don't forget to appreciate the little things in life.

1. Green Tea.

This is literally that drink that will fix all of your problems. Need to lose some weight, want to do a detox or feeling sluggish. Green tea is always the answer.

2. Sunsets.


I've always been a sucker for a beautiful sunset. It shows that endings can be great.

3. Cats.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a cat lover and that will never change.

4. Friday Night Lights.

There's nothing better than seeing my man in his jersey. I truly miss FNL and they will always have a special place in my heart.

5. Volleyball.

I keep telling myself I will get back on the court someday. That remains to be seen. The passion I have for this sport is like nothing I've ever experienced before.

6. Hugs.

I am not a touchy person, but I love a good hug from the right person. It always hits the spot.

7. Sushi.

I will never get tired of eating sushi.

8. Fire Pit Nights.

They're always filled with friends, family, laughs and a very interesting time.

9. "Friends."

This show is honestly my life. I relate any and every situation I'm in back to this show. It's kind of sad.

10. Vans.

They have been my newest addiction lately. I need every pair in every color.

11. Perfect Messy Buns.

Every girl and/or guy knows you can not achieve a perfect messy bun on the first try. It's near to impossible and very frustrating.

12. Makeup.

Again, another obsession.

13. Starbucks Pink Drink.

This is always my go-to drink. It's perfect for every season, year-round. I'm always constantly craving it.

14. Laughing.

Do you ever have a really good laughing session and it just hits the spot? Like you didn't know you needed it and it just gives you joy. Those are the best.

15. Taking Pictures.

Lately I've learned that moments come and go pretty quick. I've been taking a lot more pictures to captures them.

16. Ripped Jeans.

They may look poor to you, dad, but I promise it's a fashion trend that I am very happy to be a part of.

17. The Color Black.

I always have on something black. Sometimes my whole outfit is black. I goes with everything and compliments everyone. My hair is even black right now.

18. Donuts.

Krispy Kreme donuts will forever be my weak spot.

19. Water.

This sounds so weird, but yes I appreciate water. I will start to freak out if I don't have water or if I know that there's none nearby.

20. Summer.

Whenever winter comes around I'm always reminded of how ungrateful I was when the sun was around. There's nothing better than having your windows down, being pool side and traveling during the summer.

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.

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.
