7 Ways To Make Early Mornings Your Favorite, Even If You Hate Mornings
Heaven Nash

With the semester quickly approaching, it is time to wake up earlier than noon (I know I'm not the only one) and make this year our best one yet.

1. Remind yourself of why

In order to make it easier getting out of bed, remind yourself why you want to wake up early. This might be because you simply have class or because you have goals to crush! Either way, have a positive mindset and let these reasons be your motivation to stop hitting snooze and start your day!

2. Have a routine

Have something each and every single day that makes you excited to get out of bed. This could be your daily cup of coffee, your favorite breakfast, a workout, etc.

3. Prepare, prepare, prepare!

In order to wake up on the right foot in the morning, no matter the time, you have to get the right amount of sleep for your body. Decompress each night, clean up your bedroom so you wake up to a tidy & relaxed apartment to start your day in. Nothing is wors than starting your day by waking up stressed. Each day is a clean slate, make it count!

4. Start slow

If you are a person who sleeps in until noon, your body will not be quick to wake up every day at 5:30 a.m. bright eyed & bushy tailed. Instead, you may feel as if you are a total zombie. If you start slow by waking up even thirty minutes earlier each day, you will quickly adjust in no time.

5. Put your phone on the other side of the room

We've all heard this one before, but it is so important! It is easy to sit on our phones until we drift to sleep each night and let it be the first thing we read when we wake up in the morning but get in the habit of plugging your phone in across the room. This will allow your body to be able to actually relax at night as well as making you get up out of bed each morning in order to turn your alarm off. Instead of scrolling through the latest Bachelorette drama, get your booty up and to the kitchen.. your coffee is waiting for you!

6. No caffeine too late in the day

Speaking of coffee, make your last cup of the day happen in the early afternoon. The later you consume coffee or any sort of caffeine, you will be less likely to fall asleep in a timely matter. Also, this could impact the quality of sleep you do get at night

7. GET MOVING SISTER! 

Quit the excuses, quit the self-doubt, and start implementing these seven healthy habits that have the capacity to change your life!

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.
