We all have those songs that we turn to when we're going through something. Whether or not its a happy or sad something, music helps us deal with whatever emotion we are feeling. At least for me, music is what I turn to. Below are a few songs that helped me and are just great in general. Listen and enjoy.


1. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

I first heard this song back in 2004 on an episode of the The O.C. The show was known for giving life to obscure and underground musicians. Downloading the series soundtracks, illegally, this particular song soon became my favorite. Hauntingly beautiful, take a listen and you'll hear the greatness.


2. Between The Bars by Elliott Smith

It's certainly no secret that Elliott Smith was one of the greats. Earning a place in my heart at a young age, every album he put out went above and beyond outdoing the one before it. This song is strangely sweet and is sure to make you feel vulnerable.


3. Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac

Growing up on Fleetwood Mac, courtesy of my hippie mother, Rumours is by far one of my favorite albums from the 70s and in my opinion, Fleetwoods best. The message of this song is conveyed short and sweet; you can make the same mistakes over again and hurt the person you care for, just know better than to keep doing it and just let that person in. What I like most about it is that it makes me happy whenever I listen to it.


4. Slow It Down by The Lumineers

From the artists that brought us "Ho Hey", comes a much more heartbreaking song. It's suitably named as it is the slowest song on the album. It's a story of an intense relationship that shouldn't be given up on and I think sometimes that is how a lot of people view love and relationships. When you're into someone, you should be yourself and not worry so much. In a way, it is eerily wonderful.


5. Welcome Home, Son by Radical Face

This song means a lot to me. I listened to it after a break up and in a way it helped me get through it. The lyrics read "Peel the scars from off my back, I don't need them anymore. You can throw them out or keep them in your mason jars. I've come home." This line did it for me and is what made me love this song so much. I felt a sense a peace wash over me and suddenly I was okay and over the breakup. This song is great for anyone trying to get over someone.

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.
