I recently got a Fitbit. I got it because I wanted to have a healthier lifestyle. I am already in love with mine and it has amazing features. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Sleep tracker

This is my favorite feature. You can wear your Fit bit to sleep and it tracks your movement. It tells you how many times you were restless and awake, and even tells you down to the exact minutes. I knew I would wake up a lot at night, and this feature helps me track it. It's definitely interesting to see your sleep patterns!

2. Vibrates for texts and calls

If you don't want this you don't have to use it. It's an option that you can switch on and off. I personally think it's useful. When I get a text or a call, my Fitbit vibrates on my wrist. I find this particularly useful when I am in class or doing homework because I will only check my phone when I feel the vibrate. I don't find the need to keep checking my phone to see if someone has texted me back.

3. Reminds you to move

This, like the vibrate for texts and calls, is a feature you can switch on and off. You can customize how many times you want it to remind you a day. For me, I have it set if I haven't done 250 steps an hour, it will vibrate before the next hour.

4. Water/food intake

There's a Fitbit app, which is how you sync your wristband and data, which is free. On the app, there are options to add the amount of water you drink daily as well as food. For food, you can search food types and it will tell you the calories, or you can scan your food box with the barcode scanner.

I love the Fitbit, it has helped me become healthier and more aware of my health. The app is wonderful and can house all your information in one app, instead of one for steps, another one for food intake, etc.

I have the style called: Flex 2. They have several design options, with and without a screen and even multiple colors!

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.
