The semester has come to a close and if you are anything like me, it is easy to get so stressed and forget to take care of yourself. We get caught up in everything we are doing and trying to get everything done we often don't put ourselves first. But, you need to remember to do these certain things for you.

Slow Down

We have so many deadlines we are trying to meet that we are constantly in a rush. Don't let life pass you by, take the time to slow down and relax.

Have Some Alone Time

When everything is hectic taking time to yourself is always a good idea. It could be watching a movie, reading a book, taking a nap, or even just taking an extra long shower to just have time to be alone with yourself.

Remind Yourself to Do Better Next Time

We just took our finals and you might not have done your best. But, instead of dwelling on a bad grade just say to yourself "it's okay, do a little better next time."

Eat & Drink More

Having such busy schedules leads to not being able to fit the most important things in. FOOD AND WATER. Don't skip meals and always stay hydrated. This will give you the energy you need and keep your mood up.

Smile & Laugh

Speaking of keeping your mood up,smiling and laughing will automatically boost your mood. You have to be so serious and go into focus mood, but don't forget to give yourself a break, laughing is a great stress reliever!

Imagine yourself as a glass of water. Everyday you pour and you pour yourself out. But, in order to keep going you have to keep refilling your glass because you can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself!

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.
