I would first like to declare that contrary to popular belief, sweets solve everything. Having a bad day? In a funky mood? Or you're just plain hungry? Sweets to the rescue, my friend! I am a believer that certain sweet treats are best paired with certain moods.

1. The adventurous

Maybe you're feeling bold and ballsy in the dessert department. Opt for a fresh take on a classic, or seek whatever is the newest Insta popular (also known as a "gramable") treat. Think chocolate shelled desserts that require a hot sweet syrup of sorts to unveil the hidden treasure. The element of surprise is sure to fix your wanderlust tastebuds.

2. The savory

This is another opportunity to step outside your normal dessert comfort zone. Maybe a bourbon s'mores (complete with bacon) is calling your name or a slice of lemon thyme cake. For some savory options, look here and here.

3. The wallow

Head to the freezer because this is ice cream territory. The wallow is a specific emotion that is what I would consider to be the low of all lows. This is where you break out all the stops; however, ice cream usually gets the job done. I'm talking half-gallon size, not those wimpy pint servings (unless you buy several pints). This is also a time when it is socially and emotionally acceptable (and expected) to eat more cookie dough than you actually end up baking and devouring a panful of brownies.

4. The sweet

Really, anything externally covered in glucose fits this sweet mood. I'm talking donuts and beignets, bread pudding, crème brûlée, macaroons, baklava, pies, and every other possible treat. The genuine sweet, sugar cravings are best fixed with a hearty dose of the source, sucre (that's French for sugar).

5. The decadent

Reach for a slice from a towering chocolate cake to express your lavish mood. Nothing says decadence more than an extensively crafted chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream or ganache and chocolate shavings. Bathe in the decadence that is coco because you deserve it.

6. The "eh"

For when you are in just that "eh" mood, give your favorite cookie flavor a try. Preferably fresh from the oven (and filled with copious amounts of chocolate), this warm, gooey delectable is sure to turn your bland mood around.

7. Elation.

AKA the celebration, time to break out the funfetti and get mixing. Rainbow sprinkles are food confetti and directly correlate to a party mood. Yay, festivities!

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.
