10 Ways To Make Every Day A Good Day In 2019
Madison Vice

A lot of people seem to collectively agree that 2018... sucked. On Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and every other social media platform, users are declaring that 2019 is going to be their year. While I agree that 2018 was rough, I believe that life is what you make it. When you wake up each morning, you have a fresh chance to have the best day of your life. Here's to 2019, making good decisions, and having a good day every day.

1. Change Your Attitude

Attitude really is everything. The way you think about things is the way they become. Negative mindset? Negative life. Having a good outlook in every situation, even the not so great ones, will completely change your life. Wake up each morning and declare it a good day. Instead of groaning when your alarm goes off, be thankful that you woke up. Instead of dreading Mondays, embrace the freshness of the week.

2. Get Some Sleep

The human body loves routine. In fact, irregular sleep schedules are bad for your health. Pick a bedtime for yourself and set your alarm for the same time each day. Creating healthy habits is good for the soul too!

3. Get Some Exercise & Eat Your Veggies

My personal least favorite- but it has to be done!!! Even if you aren't dieting and exercising to lose weight, creating regular healthy habits is super good for you. Your body will thank you, your mental health will thank you, and your future 45-year-old self will thank you.

4. Always Dress Your Best

I'm not talking about wearing your prom dress to class. Instead of rolling out in your pajama pants and hair in a messy bun, put a little bit more effort into your appearance. Looking good means feeling good. Having confidence is a major key in 2019.

5. Be Productive

Don't let your laundry pile up, and don't wait until the last minute to start that paper! Procrastination leads to unnecessary stress and little sleep. We are here for productivity and punctuality in 2019.

6. Take Time For Yourself

Life can be insanely overwhelming, and sometimes all we need is a little time to reflect. Start journaling, meditating, or listening to music alone for a set amount of time each day to heal your soul and reflect on yourself!!!

7. Count Your Blessings

The best way to start your day is reminding yourself how much you have to be thankful for. Speak them aloud or write them down, but always count your blessings each morning to stay humble and thankful.

8. Be More Environmentally Conscious

2019 is the year to go green! Use less plastic water bottles, more organic and earth-friendly products, and for God's Sake- stop littering. Using natural products is great for your health and great for the Earth. It's time to start taking care of our home!

9. Learn Something New Each Day

Knowledge is power! We literally have so much information at our fingertips but continue to choose ignorance. Read a book, expand your vocabulary, study another culture, even cook a new recipe! Never stop learning. A holistic, knowledgeable life is a fulfilled life.

10. Focus on yourSELF

Self care is becoming increasingly trendier, but it seems as if most people don't really know what self care is. It is more than a warm bath and a face mask. Self care is coming to terms with your life and being honest with yourself. Focusing on yourself and becoming more aware of who you are and what you want out of this new year will lead to achieving your dreams. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. Focus on yourself and what you need to be successful and happy this year.

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.
