It has so much potential.

2017 Will Be My Year And Here's Why
Irregardless

2016 was great and all, but I'm sure 2017 will be even better. Here's the resolutions I will achieve:

1. Become a healthier me.

It's time to finally feel healthy and get back to where I need to be. Eating better and exercising more to achieve those pesky goals I have had for myself for years now. It's also about becoming more mentally healthy. Sleeping better to improve my attitude during the day. Not thinking about negative thoughts and becoming more positive about life. Setting short term goals to better reach my long term goals to inspire motivation and determination instead of defeat and fears of failure. This is the year I will improve myself in all aspects.

2. Try something new.

Whether it be something big like trying out a new job or something small in regards to maybe trying out a new recipe. Doesn't matter. Just try to get out there and try something out of the box that I don't normally do. Need to become comfortable with the concept of being uncomfortable. With graduation happening for a lot of us, it's time to move forward from school and try something new.

3. Don't dwell on the past.

It's in the past for a reason. It's time to move forward and think about the present and what my future holds for me. Dwelling on the past will never improve anything.

4. Spend more time with family and friends.

As I get older, I start to realize that friendships don't last forever. Some will go away because of lack of communication. It's time to rekindle those relationships. Spend more time with my family instead of wanting to be alone.

5. Become the best version of myself.

I can do great things. I have the capability of doing a lot if I only set my mind into doing it.

There are countless upon countless goals I can set for myself, but these are the big ones for 2017.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
