Bad days. They happen. Bad weeks. They also happen. It's nothing to get discouraged about...they're normal. Life wouldn't be the hell of a rollercoaster we know all too well without them. In fact, if someone told me they've never had a day where they come home and tell themselves "Today was absolutely horrible," they're lying.

Things to get you through the bad days?

1. Curling up with a fuzzy blanket and spending time with you and only you.

Sometimes, all you need is to be alone. People can be overwhelming, no matter how much you love the certain special ones in your life. This is the time to take a deep breath, lay on the floor in the center of you room, and play the "Your Favorite Coffeehouse" playlist on Spotify (my personal favorite), and just let it all out.

2. Go adventuring!

Who doesn't love a good spontaneous adventure? Whatever it may be, it can cover up the bad events of the day and give you something to smile about!

3. Spend time with your best friend.

They know that if you just want silence, they'll give it to you. Sit and watch a movie, eat some Chinese food, and focus on forgetting about what happened while having their presence. A silent room with the people you love in it can go a long way.

4. Dogs.

Honestly, this is always going to be an option on how to get happy again because who doesn't love these furry creatures? The answer is always dogs. Lots and lots of dogs.

5. Remember one key thing...

Tomorrow will always come. The moon will fall and the sun will rise and just like that, it's a brand new day. You can always start fresh, ready to take on the day more than ever. Get your revenge on the past day, make it feel bad for putting you down, and kick some ass.

The important thing to keep in mind is good days happen too...way more often than bad ones. There are days that you wake up, feel fantastic, and go head first into the morning feeling and knowing you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. And when those days happen, the bad ones blur into your distant memory and it's like they never even happened.

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.
