Christmas break is almost here! I am so incredibly excited to get all of these finals done so that I can enjoy being with family and friends! I love making lists, so here is my list of Christmas activities I hope to accomplish before going back to school in January.

 1.     Cookies (Obviously)

I think this is a pretty common tradition, but in my family we love to do home-made ginger bread houses! Delicious and so fun!

2. Day Trip

My best friends and I love taking day trips all around North Carolina. Whether it is Boone, Asheville, or Winston-Salem, we have loads of fun!

3. Hot Cocoa Movie Night

Get dressed up into your favorite Christmas pajamas and grab your best friends. With a cup of cocoa in hand, que up Disney + and you will be in holiday heaven.

4. Volunteer

'Tis the season of giving, so why not volunteer at a local soup kitchen or buy gifts for children less fortunate!

5. Dance To Christmas Songs

My favorite is Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree!

6.  Drive Around For The Sole Purpose Of Listening to Christmas Music

I also love to drive through neighborhoods to look at the lights!

7. Gift Wrapping Party

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is finding cool ways to wrap up gifts on Pinterest! There are so many ways to make the gifts look so cute! It also adds to the total Christmas ambiance sitting under the tree.

8. Crafts

Every year my mom has had a craft day at my house. Whether we made wreaths, ornaments, yummy recipes, or little sock snowmen, it is always a blast!

Christmas is such a joyous time of year, so hug your loved ones and enjoy this time with your people!

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.
