When you're bored after a long day, or maybe it is just a weekend and you have no plans, it can be easy to just be lazy. Yes, you can rest, but don't spend your whole day lounging around. Also, it has become a very unhealthy habit for people to eat, even when they're not hungry. Just out of boredom! Try some of these things instead to keep a healthy life and mind!

1. Go for a walk

Walking is a great way to clear your head AND get some exercise!

2. Read a book

Literature is always fun! Get off your phone and pickup a book before it is too late. It is so incredibly fun getting lost in your own imagination.

3. Call your parents

Your parents can probably spend hours talking to you. Give them a call, tell them you miss them!

4. Dance

Turn up the music and just dance! Relax and enjoy yourself, you deserve it!

5. Do a puzzle

6. Clean your house

It might seem like a pain, but you know it could use some cleaning!

7. Play with your pets!

If ya don't have one, then get one!

8. Go on a hike

9. Take a hot bath

10. Go to the gym

11. Write a book

12. Listen to a podcast

13. Do some homework

14. Plan out your next vacation

15. Do your laundry!

You'll thank me later

Write letters and express your true feelings to people. Then throw them away!

17. Hangout with friends

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.
