7 Important Pieces Of Life Advice From My Mom
Julia Niklewicz

Moms are the greatest gift you have in life. They shape you into the person that you have become and they will always be there for you. They also give the best advice when its needed and are always there for you.

1. Never go to bed mad.

We've all done it and woken up feeling so much worse. No matter what hard thing you're going through or who's giving you a hard time, you should never go to bed mad. Even if you can't resolve your issue with a specific person, find joy in something or someone else. Call up your best friend, talk to your mom, watch your favorite tv show.

2. Get rid of toxic people. Surround yourself with people who treat you right.

Sometimes it's hard to know who has the right intentions, but it's clear that if someone wrongs you more than once you need to move on. It may be scary to get rid of friends but sometimes it's what needs to be done.

3. Always be kind, you never know what someone else is going through.

Kindness is key, even a smile to a stranger can change that person's day. You never know everything that someone is going through, so make sure that you treat everyone with respect. Also, little acts of kindness can go a far way.

4. There's nothing like a great sister.

Your siblings are your best friends that you're stuck with, but they can relate to you in a way that no one else can. Never take your siblings for granted because they love you more than you know.

5. You can do anything you set your heart and your mind to.

Never get discouraged, life can be hard sometimes. The best part is that if you really want something, you can achieve it if you keep trying. But also remember to not waste your time on something you really don't care about.

6. Friendship should be easy.

When you find the right people it should be easy. Yes, everyone goes through rough patches with their friends, but you shouldn't have to work so hard to be great friends with someone. Also, always remember friendship is a two way street.

7. When all else fails, just know your mom will always be there for you.

No matter what life hands you, your mom will always be there waiting with open arms, and if you're away at school, a phone call or FaceTime call can do the trick too.

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.
