The space you live in affects you a lot more than you think. If you dislike the space you're living in, it can make it really difficult to be productive, get in a good mood or mindset and feel comfortable throughout the day. And because of the global pandemic, we're at home a lot more than I'm sure we'd all like to be, which makes it even more important for you to be comfortable and happy in the space you're living in.

If you don't like the space you're living in, and want to vamp it up a little, here are (insert number here) easy ways to change up your room and make it a space you're happy to spend time in.

Chalkboard paint is an easy way to spice up a dull room. With this paint and a couple pieces of colorful chalk, you could have a new looking room everyday. Use it for doodling, writing out lists or even drawing your very own personalized wallpaper. It's an easy, inexpensive way to give your room a little flare, and can be fun long after you put it on your wall.

Pictures with friends

With the global pandemic, a lot of people are feeling more lonely than usual. Not seeing friends or family coupled with never leaving your room can make you feel awful. However, a couple of pictures of family or friends on your wall cuckold subtly help you out. Not only will it remind you that you're not alone, but it'll be a cute decoration that will add a lot to your room or living space.

Flowers (fake or real)

Flowers are a simple elegant way to make the space you're living in more pleasant to look at and exist in. Real or fake flowers would do the trick. With real flowers, you can switch them up every couple of days after they die, or with fake ones, you can have a couple around your room you won't have to worry about. Either way, flowers are an easy way to add a little color and life to your living space.

Records

If you're into music, or just like the aesthetic of records, put a couple of the album covers on your wall! Or, if you don't have your own records, but still love the look of them, go to a thrift store and pick up a couple! They're super cheap and a super easy way to add a personal touch to your room or living space.

Greenery

Any form of greenery, whether it be vines, house plants or fake plants are sure to add a bit of life to your living space. You can get really cheap hanging vines for your ceiling or wall from amazon, as well as cute fake plants too! But if you're confident in your abilities to keep a real one alive, go for a real houseplant!

Posters

If you're looking for something a little more personal than the rest of these, try and find a poster you like! Whether that be of a band, movie, or just a pretty poster, you're sure to find one that will fit with your style and make your living space more you. If you want to spice it up even a little bit more, instead of a poster, try a tapestry!

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.

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.
