New Years resolutions. We may mock them but every single year, here we are again making them. The truth is everyone everyone wants to get fit, eat better, travel more and make more money but those can be hard to achieve and overwhelming to even think about. It's not practical to think that on January 1 you will just start living your life completely differently and making all these new changes. Although that may be great, maybe just implementing little changes will have just as big of an effect. So let's start the New Year smaller with smaller resolutions, because maybe then we will actually accomplish them and make some well needed changes. Here are 10 small New Years Resolutions you should actually keep this New Year!

1. Detox from technology

Social media, the internet, your e-mails, everything. Just find a day and make it a point to stay off your phone, your computer, and so on.

2. Take pictures of happy moments

Who cares how many likes it could get on Instagram. It's all about the moments of true happiness. Those are the kinds of pictures you should be capturing.

3. Journal

Journaling is so therapeutic and it is the perfect way to help you destress and express yourself. Journals are also really entertaining to look back on in the future, you'll be happy you kept one.

4. Do one thing you've never done before

It doesn't have to be anything drastic, trying a new activity, going somewhere new, any kind of new experience. If you do at least one thing unfamiliar or out of your comfort zone then the year was worth it just because of that.

5. Make Plans

Don't just rely on your phone as your main source of communication, actually go out and do things with the people who matter the most to you.

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.

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.
