6 Attainable New Years Resolutions
https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1450705

Every year, we seem to set absurdly unattainable resolutions for ourselves. And it seems that every year, without fail, we are disappointed by our inability to complete these goals that we set for ourselves. I think the new year is a great time to set goals and try to kickstart personal growth, but I think it is detrimental when goals are too lofty. Here are a few little things to add to your list of resolutions this year, but this time a list that can definitely be accomplished.

Reread your favorite book (or try to find a favorite book)

It's your favorite book for a reason. Rediscover why. There's always more to learn from something that means a lot to you. And if you don't have a favorite book, I highly encourage you finding one.

Go to a movie by yourself 

It might just be me, but something about going to a movie by myself is so relaxing. I can fully detach myself from whatever BS is going on in my life at the time, and for two to three hours submerge myself in someone else's story. Plus, it's important to spend time by yourself. Let's put the kibosh on the negative stigma of going to public places by ourselves in 2019, okay?

Eat less meat 

Had to throw this in here, because I will never stop promoting less meat consumption on behalf of the environment and animals, but seriously, eating vegetarian three times a week is a HUGE step that the Earth will thank you for.

Find a skincare routine that you love

2019 is the year of self care! Take the time to figure out what makes your skin glow, because when you glow on the outside, you start to glow on the inside too. Testing out products and developing a skincare routine that makes you feel beautiful/handsome/awesome is so important.

Go watch the sunset

Grab some snacks, a pal or two, and park your car in the direction of the setting sun. It's a great way to ground yourself, spend some time with friends, or just a really awesome excuse to buy your favorite snack.

Clear your Netflix queue

Our (at least mine) Netflix queue's become so cluttered with things we want to watch, have already watched, or are there for unknown reasons. Watch the things you've always been wanting to watch, clear out the old, and figure out the unknowns.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
