8 Ways to Enjoy Your Free Time

In college, free time is very rare. Whenever I get the chance to have some time to myself or just time to spend not doing school, sports, or work, I try and make the most of it!

1. Journaling

I recently have started becoming very into journaling. Whether it is just to let my emotions out or to tell a story. I have learned that writing out how and what I feel is the best way to let my mind free.

2. Daily Devotional

My church back home has started a new year long daily devotional that goes through the whole Bible. Yes, I mean the whole thing. I started off strong but getting back into the swing of school has faltered me a little bit. Having a plan though surely has been a motivator in this process.

3. Pinterest

Ahhh Pinterest. Home of DIY projects, coffee shop photos and a wardrobe that one can only dream of. I treat my Pinterest like my child. Tending to it everyday and making sure each board is neat, tidy and always stocked. #isthatweird?

4. C O F F E E

Coffee dates, Keurig coffee, drive thru coffee or the cute lattes with the foam shapes; it is ALL Greek to me. I cherish any cup I have and make sure to spend whatever I do in my spare time, with a cup in my hand.

5. Running Errands

In a small college town, the list of things to do is slimming. So sometimes a simple trip to Walmart or TJ Maxx with my pals is pleasure enough.

6. Siesta

I never thought I could nap until I came to college. Now, I have to force myself to STAY awake.

7. Goodwill

And boy is it good.

8. Netflix

The beloved place where 90% of college kids spend their time. Binge watching their favorite tv shows or watching 1 1/2 star independent films that wind up having German subtitles and get you sucked into a Netflix world you thought you would never reach.

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.
