60 Ways Today Can Be A Good Day

3. You wake up in a bed.

4. You wake up in your bed.

5. You wake up in your bed alone.

6. Or, if you prefer, you don’t wake up alone.

7. The weather app says it won’t rain.

8. The weather app also says it won’t be cold.

9. In fact, the weather app says you’ll be able to wear just your favorite hoodie today.

10. God, you can rock that sweater.

11. You walk outside to challenge the weather app, and it did not lie for once.

12. Today’s first cup of coffee didn’t burn the tip of your tongue.

13. The barista gave you a large drink, but only had you pay for the medium size.

20. If you live in a palace or a spaceship, it’s always a good day for you.

21. It’s been about two or three days, so you can shampoo today.

22. Heck yeah—you can start using some sweet-new shampoo that you just bought!

23. You have time to treat yourself to a “ten-minute spa-day” (i.e. use a face mask, floss, clip your nails, paint your nails, shave, pluck eyebrows, or use a fancy product “just ‘cuz”).

24. Spotify’s Discover Weekly is actually awesome this week.

25. You just purchased Spotify for the first time.

26. Better yet: your parents just purchased Spotify for you.

40. You embrace your beauty regardless of societally-accepted images of body-normativity, and continue to eat whatever the hell you want.

41. God, it feels good to eat.

42. God, it feels good to eat enough to not have a stomach ache.

43. The sun is shining when you exit the dining hall.

44. It is warm as you exit.

45. You genuinely feel like exercising today.

47. You can do whatever you want—judgement free!

48. You run faster, jump higher, and can throw things on the ground.

53. Your homework is doable.

54. Your homework is nonexistent today.

55. You can take a nap instead of doing homework.

56. Heck, you can go to bed right now and end today if you want.

57. Your parents text you to finally reveal that trust-fund you always knew existed, and they say that you'll now sleep inside of a palace or a spaceship.

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.
