5 New Years Resolutions for College Students

1. Work on papers over the course of a week, and finish it a day in advance.

I know college can be crazy, and we do not always use our time wisely. But, if you write one page each night for five nights, you will have a better essay in the end. Also having the paper done a day in advance of the due date will allow you to look it over and fix things.

2. Get a certain amount of sleep each night.

This may sound silly, but sleep is so important, especially for stressed out college students. You will not be as efficient if you are sleep deprived, so go to bed an hour earlier every night and get good sleep.

3. Try something completely out of your comfort zone every month.

There are always things happening on campus, and some of the events may be something completely out of the ordinary for you. This is why you should just take a risk and do something new. Get a friend to go with you if you're too nervous to do it alone. Make your college experience great.

4. Find time for yourself.

Being social is very important in college, but you want to make sure that you are taking care of yourself and your needs. If you don't want to go out with your friends on a Friday night because you would rather sit in and watch Netflix, watch Netflix. You time is just as important as being with friends.

5. Spend your money wiser.

Every college student is broke, that's just how it is here in America. But, if you spend your money wisely, you won't go broke as quickly as you had the previous semester. Just because there's an event going on that $50 that all of your friends are going to doesn't mean you have to do it.

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.
