Life can get stressful really fast. Here are a couple things you can do to be a little less stressed.

Breathe

Giphy

Sometimes just forgetting everything else that's going on around you and taking deep breathes in can be relaxing

Treats

Giphy

Have little snacks lined up for when you need it. A chocolate every once in a while won't hurt you.

Do Yoga

Giphy

Let me tell you right now yoga is a great way to exercise as well as de-stress. Doing yoga whenever life seems too hard to handle won't take away your problems but it'll help put things into perspective.

Chew Gum

Giphy

Chewing gum can give you something else to focus on for a bit and also help you concentrate.

Get off your phone

Giphy

Our phone can be our biggest enemy sometimes. Phones apparently increase stress levels so getting off your phone every once in a while can really help.

Watch comedy

Giphy

Sometimes taking a break and watching something funny can ease your mind. I usually watch comedy shows when I'm really stressed out.

Run

Giphy

Running is not only great exercise it's a great way to release your frustration and stress.

Paint

Giphy

Painting is a great stress reliever. You can paint something for someone or just for fun. Either way it's not only fun but also eases your mind

Petting animals

Giphy

Animals are not only great companions but amazing stress relievers. When I'm really stressed out I usually cuddle with my dog and I feel 20 times better.

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.
