Positive Aspects Of Covid-19

As classes have been postponed and Trump is telling us that we should not gather in groups of more than ten people, I think it's a good time to focus on the positives of Covid-19. Especially since Chick-fil-a has gone to drive thru and pick up only!

Quarantine

  1. A quarantine would allow us to accomplish so much. Especially if there is a mandatory two week shut down. It would provide the perfect opportunity to catch up on sleep or binge watch Gilmore Girls for the eighth time. Or if you have a bad habit of buying books when you know there is already a stack waiting to be read at home, then now is the perfect time to read them. If you have been wanting to start a bullet journal and didn't have the time before, then sit down and start journaling! It is a great way to pass time. A quarantine also gives you the chance to have a much needed spa day or if it is warm enough, go outside and get a head start on your summer tan.

Social Distancing 

  1. This is a blessing in disguise for introverts. If you are anything like me, then the constant buzzing of going from school, work, the gym, and home can be very draining. At the end of the day I usually end up in my room, attempting to recharge before I have to go do it all over again tomorrow. With school being moved online and the encouragement of social distancing, Covid-19 is giving an introvert something important… solitude.

Excessive Hand Washing

  1. This is one thing that should be a big positive. With all of the pushing for you to wash your hands, you can worry less about the food you are being served at restaurants. Even better, you don't have to nag your boyfriend about washing his hands anymore. There are also some cool tunes you can use to make sure you are washing your hands for the full twenty seconds. Songs like Love on Top by Beyonce, Toxic by Britney Spears, and Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees.

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.
