As the year comes to an end, and the holiday season quickly approaches, most of us are bombarded with gift exchanges and secret santas that must be. For any person you may need a gift for, here's a list to help you out:

1. Succulent Pots

In order to make one, put tape in a shape (as a triangle) on a painted pot and paint the inside of the lines of tape with metallic paint. Once satisfied, peel the paint off and let it dry.

2. A Sugar Scrub

Take a jar and put in 3 cups of sugar and 1 cup of oil. After it's mixed thoroughly, add in some extract (such as peppermint or vanilla) for a nice tasting (and smelling) scrub!

3. A Confetti Dish (or Bowl)

Take a clean ceramic bowl and dab a pen from a gold leaf pen kit (it can be found at Michael's) and let dry for around 10 minutes. Afterwards, take the gold leaf sheets and lay the leaf sheet on top of the places where you put the pen (metallic side facing up). Then, lightly rub it onto the surface so it sticks and then remove the paper backing of it. Take a soft brush and lightly go over the metallic leaf sheets (it'll rub off the extra paper). If you want to, you can spray it with sealant so it doesn't come off.

4. Lip Balm

Put 1 tbsp of beeswax, 2 tbsp of shea butter and almond or coconut oil, and 2 drops of essential oil and 3 drops of a different essential oil in a heat safe bowl above the stove. Heat it until it becomes liquid-like and clear and put in a few drops of color if you want to. Afterwards, pour it into a small container and let it cool.

5. Root Beer Reindeer

Wrap brown pipe cleaners below the cap and shape them like antlers on the bottle. Then, put some sticky googly eyes and a red pom pom on the actual bottle for eyes and a nose of the reindeer.

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.
