Every Valentine's Day is special in my book. These are five free things that can make the day even more memorable!

1. Cards

In 2020, Valentine's Day cards are completely underrated! Send/give your partner a sweet love note in a card to show your affection. They last forever, so they can keep them for years to come. Plus, you don't have to spend money- grab some scraps of paper and put together an adorable hand made gift.

2. Do a chore they hate.

Whether it's cooking, dishes, or laundry, doing an extra chore that's not on your list can really show how much you appreciate and love your other half. Regardless of how long it takes, it often means the most when you put in the elbow grease and knock out something they hate to do.

3. Give them a massage

After a long day, nothing feels better than laying down in your bed or on the couch and getting comfy and cozy with your spouse. Adding a massage to the mix spices it up and relaxes them (perfect for couples that love gifts relating to time together). Adding a movie/music, essential oil, and kisses can really amp up the environment and relay the love.

4. Be the chef

Find snacks from your house and create a "gourmet" meal together as if you were a contestant on a famous cooking show. Pretend that you are the judge, then use the same ingredients and be the chef! Never use foods you must purchase, instead opt to try and create from what you have.

5. Commit an act of service together

Find a local food bank, a soup kitchen, a nursing home, or head to some local nonprofit and see how you can help them out for Valentine's Day (or any day!!) with your sweetheart for some quality time together that will make a BIG impact. If you and your partner are crafty, look back at option one and make cards for those alone in hospitals and hand them out.

Those are five free things to do this Valentine's Day with your significant other!

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.
