Finally, we have gotten a break from the heat here in East Carolina, and if you are anything like me, you are craving a cozy day in with some cocoa and easy entertainment. Once finals are over, I know I will want to set up a hot date with a good book. Here are some of my favorites, and some that I plan on reading for the first time!

1. The Scarlet Letter

I read this book in high school and it is definitely my favorite book. This classic is so beautifully written with such an incredible story.

2. The 5th Wave

Wow. I read this book back when the movie was about to come out, and like always, the book was way better than the movie. So, even if you have seen the movie, I definitely recommend the book!

3. The Matched Series

I ready these books in high school, and I was so entertained by the story that I could not put it down. I would love it if they created this into a movie.

4. The Virginian

I have not heard of this book since reading it in high school, but it is absolutely one of the best love stories ever told. I remember gushing about the romance with my best friends during class.

5. Between Shades of Gray

Note: Not the same thing as 50 Shades of Grey. My roommate actually recommended this book since it is her favorite, so I plan on cracking it open during this Christmas break.

6. The Hiding Place 

My mom and I read this book together a while ago and, it being a true story, I was hooked.

7. To Kill A Mockingbird 

What a classic! You have probably heard of, if not read, this book before, but I think it is a must-read for everyone.

I know that as soon as I finish my last final and drive home, I will be rushing to grab one of these reads with a cup of tea or cocoa. Now, let's all just finish the semester strong so that we can actually enjoy our breaks. Good luck!

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.
