With the new year comes new resolutions and goals. Here are 10 easy things to add to YOUR new year's list!

1. Visit your state's capital.

Take a trip to your state capital and explore! Capital cities tend to be big and bustling with city life. Take a day off and go!

2. Compliment someone every day!

Being nice to people is free, and priceless. Brighten someone's day with a compliment, whether it's telling a best friend you are proud of them or telling a stranger you like their shoes, be kind!

3. Go on a road trip!

Whether it's 20 miles or 200, whether it's alone or with friends, take a road trip to somewhere you've never been!

4. Find a good book, and finish it.

Reading is great for the brain and the heart, so find a book and snuggle up in your free time. Feed your imagination!

5. Take the class you've been wanting to

If you're debating taking a certain class--maybe because it doesn't fit your major or you aren't sure you'll fit the program--take it! You'll never know until you try, and it'll give you a broader range of knowledge.

6. Attend a local concert

Large concerts are always fun, but real hidden gems can be found at your local coffee shops or pubs. Check out the venues, and attend a local band's concert.

7. Try meal prepping!

Instead of making vague goals like losing weight or getting healthier, start simple by trying to prep your meals.

8. Learn a new language 

Even if it's just basic conversation, learning a new language is amazing and opens your peer group up to even more people.

9. Start a bullet journal

A bullet journal, or any journal in general, is great for keeping up with your schedule, moods, habits, and thoughts.

10. Smile everyday

Smiling has been proven to have a lot of health benefits; a longer life, stress relief, and stronger immune system. Smiling makes you more approachable, and can actually make you feel happier just by doing it!

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.
