1. Eating habits

I've been transitioning into becoming a vegetarian and I hope to keep the progress going. Not only that, but I NEED to stay away from fast food at all costs. Being a vegetarian, you're limited to what you can eat. I have fallen into a deep love triangle between me, pizza, and french fries. This is truly something that messes with my weight and I'm ready to cut it all out.

2. Working out

I am the absolute worst at working out. I used to work out 5 times a week and sometimes twice a day in the beginning of 2016. As the year winded down, so did my working out habits. I used to pay an amazing trainer to help me work out. I stuck to it because I had paid appointments that I couldn't blow off. I plan to save money using her workouts and improve this habit.

3. Waking up earlier

I consistently get tagged in memes making fun of those people who finally get out of bed at 1 or 2 pm. Sadly I want to change the time I fall asleep as well as when I wake up. It seems near to impossible for me to sleep at a decent time and even more impossible to wake up before 12. My math professor actually made fun of me during a lesson because I was complaining about waking up early for class when, in fact, it started at 11.

4. More productive

A big tendency of mine is to put everything off until last minute. It seems to have worked so far, yet it is an extremely stressful time. I want to be able to get up, do grocery shopping, schedule appointments, etc.

These may be the most basic New Years resolutions out there, but it all must improve to make 2017 the best one yet

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.
