Binge Reading

Just as Addicting as Netflix

Few things are more satisfying than finishing a book in one sitting. The feeling of completely immersing yourself in a story and getting all the way to the end without disruption. There’s really nothing quite like it. The book doesn’t even have to be good, it’s the act of reading that makes the experience great. This binge reading has consumed my life for some time now.

I read a lot. It’s sort of my thing. These days I mostly read for school, and I enjoy those readings for the most part. But there is always a part of me that wants to be reading something fun, even when I do not have time. To make sure I get a little bit of fun in my life I try to keep a couple books on hand that I can read to unwind after a long day.

Because I have so little time, I rarely get to devour a book in one sitting. I almost never feel that satisfaction of sitting down with a book and not moving until I finish.

Unfortunately, I tend to have the worst timing when it comes to binge reading. During stressful times I often turn to reading as a way to relax, and then I get swept up in the stories. I will stay up all night to finish a book if I like it enough.

Last semester I read a whole 5 book series during finals week.

I have found that binge reading is almost as life consuming as binge watching my favorite shows on Netflix, and sometimes I do both at the same time. There are worse ways to spend my free time I suppose.

Binge responsibly, my friends!

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.

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.
