I've always loved reading, ever since I could remember. Unfortunately, over the years, I haven't read as much as I would have liked to. One of the goals I set for myself this year is to read more and have more time to read. If you're in the same boat, or just want a good book to read, take a look at some of the books that I loved and are on my reading list.

Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

Much like everyone else, watched the movie on Netflix before I knew it was based off a book. I loved the movie so much when I found out it was a book, I bought it and read it in a day. It focuses on body positivity, mother-daughter relationships, and friendships and is absolutely amazing. If you haven't heard anything about this book/movie, read it first and then watch the movie.

Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis 

This isn't like your typical self- help book (in my opinion) it's kind of like a friend talking to a friend. It's an inspirational book that every girl should read to help navigate this crazy world. This is a great book to start of the new year and should be at the top of your list.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

  • This fun and light romance read was also turned into a really great Netflix movie that everyone raved about. While it is fun and easy to read, it still has a lot of important messages dealing with family and friends. It really was one of the best books I read in 2018.

#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso

  • Sophia Amoruso is the CEO of Nasty Gal (a clothing store), and a girl boss. She wrote this book back in 2015 about her journey to becoming a CEO. I can't wait to read this book because well I love Nasty Gal and I love girls empowering girls.

The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas

This book opened my eyes in more ways than one. It made me really look at the world around me and realizing that these things need to change. This book has so many different emotions, it's for sure worth the read.

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.
