Advice For High School Students

Everyone has memories from high school. Somehow you never seem to forget those four pivotal years of your life. From freshman hazing to graduation, it's a completely magical time. But there's a lot more to high school than we realize during our time there. It's said that college is where you discover who you are. Before you have to be an adult and pays bills and manage your own time, make sure you enjoy being a fun-loving, free teenager.

Don't worry so much about who likes you and who doesn't. In a matter of years, you won't see them anymore. Instead of focusing on who doesn't like you, focus on who does like you. If you think you'll miss someone when you leave, cherish the time you have with them. If you can't wait until you don't have to see someone anymore, don't give them the time of day now.

Be involved with everything. Do all you can while you can. Now is the time to try everything. You don't have to be the star of everything. Try all you can. There is no shame in giving up something as long as you've given it a chance.

Spend time doing what you love. Try everything, but spend all the time you can doing what you love. If it makes you happy, then do it. There will come a time when you can't play for your basketball team anymore or you can't be in the drama club you've dedicated the last four years of your life to. So if you love it, spend as much time as you can doing it.

High school can be stressful and super intense. There will be days when you beg god and Jesus and Muhammad to release you from this prison. But it's also the only high school experience you get and you can't trade it in once it's over. So enjoy it. Don't waste a single second

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.
