.

1. Do not be so hard on yourself.

This is harder said than done, but it is important to not be so critical on yourself. You should be your biggest fan. Understand that as a human being, everything you do will not be perfect.

2. Do not overlook your mental health.

If you are not feeling yourself, take time to evaluate how you are feeling. Focusing in on your mental status is so important. Try to set time for yourself to reflect and have "you" time for self-care.

3. Do not be afraid to say "NO."

If you are a people pleaser, this could be a hard task. Saying no to a favor your friend asks of you can be hard, but if you are tired or mentally incapable, it is okay to say "no." If your friend is a true friend, they will understand.

4. Remember to drink water.

This one can get hard when you're on campus all day, especially when the opportunity to eat doesn't even present itself. Try to keep a refillable water bottle on you and drink up!

5. Sometimes that piece of cake is worth it.

This ties in to not being so hard on yourself. Sometimes that piece of cake is worth it. It has been a long day and you are craving chocolate, so reward yourself - you deserve it.

6. Not everyone is going to like you and that is okay.

It sucks that you cannot please everyone, but it is natural for personalities to clash and for someone to not be fond of you. It is okay. Just remember that there are people who care about you and love you for who you are. Those are the people who are important.

7. Sometimes the biggest accomplishment might be getting out of bed. 

Bad days happen. But if you get out of bed and conquer even that one hurdle, that is a huge accomplishment.

8. Do not conform for others.

Always, always, always be yourself. Your true friends will accept you for you. You should never change who you are for anyone else.

9. Your opinions matter, too.

Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. You do not have to agree with what someone else believes and no one has to agree with you, but you have to be strong, believe in yourself, and stand for your own personal beliefs.

10. You are you, and you are amazing!

Everyone is amazing in their own little ways, but most of us refuse to see that in ourself. Remember to give yourself the credit you deserve!

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.

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.
