We’ve all done it, put off our work until the absolute last minute to do our projects and rush to get them done. Though we all procrastinate, there are all different methods of doing so. Here are some ways we all procrastinate.

1. Watching random yet funny videos on YouTube

Always a good way to kill time and put off all of your work.

2. Cleaning

Every time I need to get something done, I end up cleaning my entire apartment before I start the project that actually needs to get done.

3. Conversing with your roommates

Starting a mediocre conversation about nothing and getting really passionate about it in order to try and kill time.

4. Mess with social media on your phone or laptop

Probably the most common way to procrastinate for anybody. Looking up what everyone else is doing just makes it really easy to get distracted by what you are supposed to be doing.

5. Over-speculation of random thoughts that cross your mind

Looking back over your life and every choice you have ever made really makes time fly when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing.

6. Taking more time than necessary to get weirdly comfortable before starting your work

You can’t get anything done until you are comfortable enough to work.

7. Getting organized

I swear that I spend more time organizing my stuff than I spend actually working.

8. Finding a lot of other things that you think need done but don’t

Other assignments, grocery shopping, putting laundry away; anything other than what you are actually supposed to be doing.

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.
