6 Tips For Life's Stressful Moments
Central Park

I am currently headed into my senior year of college and I have found throughout the years of many all-nighters and stressing so much you cry, that simple changes can improve your perspective.

1. Yoga - As cliche as it is, yoga helps more than you would believe. You can do a quick five minute yoga session and it can completely calm you down. This will help to refresh on studying, your day or even brighten your mood. I highly recommend Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube if you're too nervous to go to an actual yoga class like me or are too pushed for time.

2. Reading - Many people have started to underrate reading and choose to open Netflix instead recently. Although I do love myself a good binge watch of The Office, reading helps to keep your brain active as well as escape for a bit. If you are on the go than simply begin an audio book and listen to it in the car! I highly recommend reading "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Album. It will change your life, guaranteed.

3. Find a Hobby - If you do ever have some spare time or want to take a quick fifteen minute break, finding a hobby can help you feel happy and relaxed. After putting two and two together that I love to write and doodle, I took up calligraphy. I know for me, whenever I finish a craft or anything I have been working on using my hobby, it can also help me feel accomplished and productive at the end of the day.

4.Coffee - I may be slightly biased considering I have been a barista for two years but seriously coffee can transform your day. It boosts your energy, it tastes delicious and is helpful if you are in need of a new Instagram picture.

5.Bake - Try baking a new dessert! If you do not have much to do and might have a sweet tooth, try baking some brownies or cookies from scratch. Not only will your place smell amazing but you'll have some tasty treats to snack on later!

6. Call Your Parents, Friend, Whoever - Just call them. I'm sure they will allow you to vent, scream, laugh, whatever you need to do and you will instantly feel better. Sometimes all you need is your best friend, your grandma or your mom.

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.
